Online version of poe-sniper

IMPORTANT NOTICE: With the migration of poe-rates to https, returning users who already had setup filters on the http version won't see their filters anymore.

It is very easy to recover them however going through the following steps :

1. Go to http://poe-rates.com/live where you should see all your filters. Click on "Settings" and then select the "Import/export" tab. Export the configuration using the method of your choice.
2. Go to https://poe-rates.com/live. Click on "Settings" and then select the "Import/export" tab. Import the configuration you just exported using the method of your choice. Reload the page.

Hi everyone,

I would like to present you poe-rates :: live, an online port of poe-sniper. This tool lets you run live searches by parsing the latest item data from the Path of Exile API. The main benefit of this tool is the ability to centralize, organize and save searches within a single window.



The initial release of poe-sniper raised several issues preventing the tool to be used by everyone. Namely, you needed to:

• Download a third party tool (electron app)
[/li]
• Have an unlimited connection plan
• Have a large bandwidth

With poe-rates.com/live, I addressed each of the issues:

• This is an online platform, no need to download anything
• Data is downloaded on my server and only matching items are sent back to the clients through websockets

Here is a tutorial video to get you started.

Search and notifications


Groups and filters with community site links


Invalid filters after league expired


Importing filters from poe.trade or the Path of Exile forums (builds, shops, etc...)

How does it work?

On the client side, users create and send filters to the filter engine running on poe-rates.com.

On the server side, the backend downloads item data from the API and sends matching items back to the clients with compression through websockets. Minimal processing is done on the client side (affix filtering).

I have a small feature request: would it be possible to assign different notification sounds to different search groups?

It's not possible yet, but it's on my todo-list :)

Hi again, something seems wonky with the search engine. I am looking for a Sidhebreath amulet, but I am getting no results - even if I disable all attribute values.

I have completely cleared all of my searches, made a new search for a Sidhebreath, unchecked BO only, and let it run. I am still getting no results, even though a poe.trade live search for the amulet finds a new one every 10-20 seconds.

Other filters I have are working fine; I don't know if it's this specific item that's bugged, or some broader class of items or searches. I was able to search for the amulet just fine yesterday, but today the same search returns no results.

Hi and thanks for reporting I would not have noticed this issue otherwise.

When an item matches the tree-like structure of the filter engine, it reaches the array containing the websocket ids of the clients subscribed to these search parameters. The item is then attributed a filterId field corresponding to the id of the client filter on the browser side and sent back to the right clients. Somehow, instead of giving different ids for different clients, it associates the same id for all the clients. On the client side the data is received, but the filter lookup fails since the filterId provided is only valid on one of the clients.

Tl; dr: if two or more people are subscribed to the same exact search, only the last one subscribing will get the data.

I’ll try to fix this bug as soon as possible.

Heh, that's quite a funny one.

Does that mean that, as a workaround, I could add some meaningless parameter (like item level > 1 or something), and as long as the search is globally unique I will get the results? Or are all searches for one particular item grouped together?

[Edit] Seems to work for now. (the workaround)

Yeah, that should work since nobody would have (hopefully) the same search parameters as you.

EDIT: Fixed the issue! I tried running the same filters on different devices and all of them got simultaneous results, so it should hopefully work fine now :)

Hey, looks like great tool but i have a problem (posted about in in comments for tutorial, but here is image) - cannot use import button:

Yeah, there was an issue with the backend. Should be fixed now!
