Methodology

For market-traded currency we prefer a game publisher's own public API wherever one exists; where it doesn't, we say so plainly rather than implying a level of authority the data doesn't have. For store currencies, the price is simply the publisher's official list price.

• EVE Online (ISK/PLEX): CCP Games' public ESI market endpoint for the Global PLEX Market — a single unified market CCP introduced in 2023 that pools all PLEX trades regardless of station or region. First-party, official.
• Albion Online (Gold/Silver): The Albion Online Data Project (AODP), a community-run project that aggregates market data voluntarily shared by players' game clients. This is not an official Sandbox Interactive API — Sandbox Interactive has publicly said it doesn't object to it, but it's third-party, crowdsourced data, not a first-party feed. We track the Europe server.
• Guild Wars 2 (Gems/Gold): ArenaNet's official, keyless public API (v2/commerce/exchange/gems), which publishes the first-party Gem↔Gold exchange rate. First-party, official.
• Old School RuneScape (Bonds/GP): The OSRS Wiki's public price API (prices.runescape.wiki), which mirrors the live Grand Exchange. Community-maintained but sourced from Jagex's game data; we use the midpoint of the buy/sell spread as the reference price.
• Store currencies (Robux, V-Bucks, Minecoins, …): official publisher list prices, taken from each publisher's store page and recorded on the individual currency pages with a "last checked" date. These are fixed prices rather than market data, so there's no hourly pipeline behind them.

Scheduled jobs fetch new prices on an hourly cadence (offset by a few minutes per asset) and store them so we can chart trends over time. Pages are statically regenerated on the same hourly cadence, so there can be up to a one-hour lag between a market move and it appearing here.

Where we show a USD equivalent, we combine the in-game market price with the relevant publisher's official store price for the real-money item.

• EVE Online: CCP's PLEX bundle pricing, 500 PLEX / $19.99, checked 2026-06-01.
• Guild Wars 2: ArenaNet's official Gem store rate, 800 Gems / $10, checked 2026-08-05.
• Old School RuneScape: Jagex's official Bond price, $7.99 per Bond, checked 2026-08-05.
• Albion Online: unverified — our current constant (800 Gold / $4.95) comes from a player forum post, not a direct check of Sandbox Interactive's store page. Treat the USD figure on the Albion page as a rough estimate until we confirm it directly.

We manually re-check official store rates periodically rather than scraping them live, since publisher store pricing changes rarely and isn't exposed via a clean public endpoint.

We don't broker trades, sell in-game currency, or accept payment to feature a game more prominently. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any game publisher named on this site.
