OSRS Grand Exchange Price Prediction

Start-to-end project where we attempt to harness the power of machine learning to predict Old-school Runescape Grand Exchange prices.

Getting started

The journey so far has been documented in a series of Youtube videos found here:

1. Part 1 - Setup and initial trial
2. Part 2 - Data Collection
3. Part 3 - Feature Engineering and Selection
4. Part 4 - Hyperparameter Tuning, Application and API

Prerequisites

• Python
• Tensorflow
• Jupyter Notebook
• Python dependencies:
  • requests
  • json
  • csv
  • time
  • matplotlib
  • numpy
  • pandas
  • flask

Usage

Creating you own models

1. Change the items_to_predict array in the main() function to the items you wish to use.
2. Then, run:

python models.py

3. You should see the .h5 model file created in the models folder along with features.txt file in the models/features folder

Applying the created models

1. Make sure you have the latest data stored in data/rsbuddy or change the path of DATA_FOLDER in line 101 of application.py
2. Change the items_to_predict array in the main() function to match the models you created/have.
3. Then, run:

python application.py

4. You should see a .csv file created (or have data appended to) in the name of that item in data/predictions.

Running the flask app

1. Change items in items_predicted array in index() to match the items that you've predicted on
2. Run:

python flask-app.py

3. Go to localhost:80 and see your results!

Running the jupyter notebooks

1. Move the preferred notebook out of the Notebooks foler to the main directory
2. Run the following command:

jupyter notebook

Scraping your own data

If you wish to scrape your own data the way I've been doing it, run the following script every 2 minutes (for osbuddy):

python osbuddy-ge-scraper.py

OR every 30 minutes (for rsbuddy):

python rsbuddy-ge-scraper.py

You can do this automatically by using crontab if you're on a Linux machine or windows scheduler if you're on a Windows machine.
