osrsbox 1.1.20

A complete and up-to-date database of Old School Runescape (OSRS) items accessible using a Python API.

osrsbox

A complete and up-to-date database of Old School Runescape (OSRS) items accessible using a Python API

The osrsbox package is a complete and up-to-date database of OSRS items that is accessible via a Python API. Complete means it holds every single item in OSRS. Up-to-date means this database is updated after every weekly game update to ensure accurate information. This package contains just the Python API and the actual item database - the tools and data used to build the item database are available from the osrsbox-db GitHub repository.

Quick Start

• Make sure you have >= Python 3.6
• Install package using: pip install osrsbox
• Import items API using: from osrsbox import items_api
• Load all items using: all_db_items = items_api.load()
• Loop items using: for item in all_db_items: print(item.name)

Package Requirements

• Python 3.6 or above
• Dataclasses package (if Python is below 3.7)

Installation

The easiest way to install the osrsbox package is through the Python Package Index using the pip command. You need to have pip installed - and make sure it is updated (especially on Windows). Then you can install the osrsbox package using pip:

pip install osrsbox

This package is consistently updated - usually after each weekly in-game update. This is because the in-game update usually introduces additional items into the game or changes existing items. Therefore, you should regularly check and update the osrsbox package. To achieve this, run pip with the upgrade flag.

pip install --upgrade osrsbox

Usage

The key use of the osrsbox package is to load and automate the processing of OSRS items and their associated metadata.

You can load the package using import osrsbox, however, you probably want to load the items_api module. A simple example of using the package to load all the items, then loop and print out the item ID and name of every item in OSRS is provided below:

>>> from osrsbox import items_api
>>> all_db_items = items_api.load()
>>> for item in all_db_items:
...     print(item.id, item.name)

Item Classes

Each item is represented by Python objects, specifically using Python dataclasses. There are three types of objects that can be used to represent part of an in-game OSRS item:

• ItemDefinition: An item that is not equipable, and not a weapon. This object type includes basic item metadata such as id, name, examine text, store cost, high_alch and low_alch values and quest association. Every item object in the database has these properties.

• ItemEquipment: Many items in OSRS are equipable, this includes armour and other wearable items. Any equipable item (that is not a weapon) is stored as an ItemEquipment object including attributes such as attack_slash, defence_crush and melee_strength values. Additional information about equipable items include skill requirements to wear armour or wield weapons, and item slot properties. Finally, every equipable item also has all the properties available in the ItemDefinition class.

• ItemWeapon: A selection of OSRS items are both equipable, and also weapons. The ItemWeapon class has additional weapon-specific attributes including attack_speed and weapon_types. Additionally, each weapon has an array of combat stances associated with it to determine the combat_style, attack_type, attack_style and any bonuses or combat experience association. Finally, every weapon item also has the properties available in the ItemDefinition and ItemEquipment classes.

Item Properties

Every item in the osrsbox-db project has a selection of mandatory properties. These mandaotry properties are represented in the ItemDefinition class - while the ItemEquipment and ItemWeapon classes also have these mandatory properties. Therefore, every item in the database has these properties. All of the properties available are listed in the table below including the property name, the data types used, a description of the property and if the property is required to be populated - if not required, the property value can potentially be set to None.

Property	Data type	Description	Required
id	integer	Unique OSRS item ID number	Yes
name	string	Name of the item	Yes
members	boolean	If the item is a members-only item	Yes
tradeable	boolean	If the item is tradeable (between players and GE)	No
tradeable_on_ge	boolean	If the item is tradeable (only on GE)	Yes
stackable	boolean	If the item is stackable (in inventory)	Yes
noted	boolean	If the item is noted	Yes
noteable	boolean	If the item is noteable	Yes
linked_id_item	integer	The linked ID of the actual item (if noted/placeholder)	No
linked_id_noted	integer	The linked ID of an item in noted form	No
linked_id_placeholder	integer	The linked ID of an item in placeholder form	No
placeholder	boolean	If the item is a placeholder	Yes
equipable	boolean	If the item is equipable (based on menu entry)	Yes
equipable_by_player	boolean	If the item is equipable by a player	Yes
equipable_weapon	boolean	If the item is an equipable weapon	Yes
cost	integer	The store price of an item	Yes
lowalch	integer	The low alchemy value of the item (cost * .4)	Yes
highalch	integer	The high alchemy value of the item (cost * .6)	Yes
weight	float	The weight (in kilograms) of the item	No
buy_limit	integer	The Grand Exchange buy limit of the item	No
quest_item	boolean	If the item is associated with a quest	No
release_date	string	Date the item was released in ISO8601 format	No
examine	string	The examine text for the item	No

wiki_url	string	OSRS Wiki URL link including anchor link	No
equipment	object	Object of item equipment properties (if equipable)	No
weapon	object	Object of item weapon properties (if a weapon)	No

Not all items in OSRS are equipable. Only items with the equipable_by_player property set to true are actually equipable. The equipable property is similar, but this is the raw data extracted from the game cache - and can sometimes be incorrect (not actually equipable by a player). Any item that is deemed equipable by a player is stored in a ItemEquipment object, which has additional properties concerning equipable items, and also has all the mandatory properties specified in the ItemDefinition class. All of the properties available for equipable items are listed in the table below including the property name, the data types used, a description of the property and if the property is required to be populated - if not required, the property value can potentially be set to None.

Property	Data type	Description	Required
attack_stab	integer	The stab attack bonus of the item	Yes
attack_slash	integer	The slash attack bonus of the item	Yes
attack_crush	integer	The crush attack bonus of the item	Yes
attack_magic	integer	The magic attack bonus of the item	Yes
attack_ranged	integer	The ranged attack bonus of the item	Yes
defence_stab	integer	The stab defence bonus of the item	Yes
defence_slash	integer	The slash defence bonus of the item	Yes
defence_crush	integer	The crush defence bonus of the item	Yes
defence_magic	integer	The magic defence bonus of the item	Yes
defence_ranged	integer	The ranged defence bonus of the item	Yes
melee_strength	integer	The melee strength bonus of the item	Yes
ranged_strength	integer	The ranged strength bonus of the item	Yes
magic_damage	integer	The magic damage bonus of the item	Yes
prayer	integer	The prayer bonus of the item	Yes
slot	string	The item slot (e.g., head)	Yes
requirements	object	An object of requirements {skill: level}	Yes

The final list of properties are for equipable weapon items. Only items with the equipable_weapon property set to true are equipable, and also weapons. Any item that is deemed an equipable weapon is stored in an ItemWeapon object, which has additional properties concerning weapons, and also has all the mandatory properties specified in the ItemDefinition and ItemEquipment class. All of the properties available for weapons are listed in the table below including the property name, the data types used, a description of the property and if the property is required to be populated - if not required, the property value can potentially be set to None.

Property	Data type	Description	Required
attack_speed	integer	The attack speed of a weapon	Yes
weapon_type	string	The weapon classification (e.g., axe)	Yes
stances	object	An array of weapon stance information	Yes
