OSRS Wiki Live Prices

A lightweight browser extension that injects live Grand Exchange prices straight into the Old School RuneScape Wiki — item pages, money making guides, training pages and calculators.

01What it does

The OSRS Wiki shows Grand Exchange prices, but those values are cached and can be hours — or days — out of date. This extension quietly replaces them with the live hourly average pulled from the official OSRS Wiki real-time prices API, and shows you how much each price has moved.

Always current

Prices come from the same real-time API the wiki itself uses, refreshed as you browse.

Shows the change

Wherever the wiki had a static value, you also see the delta — how much higher or lower the live price is.

Zero setup

No account, no options to configure. Install it and the prices just appear.

02How to use it

  1. Install the extension for Chrome (also Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers) or Firefox.
  2. Open any supported wiki page (see the list below). The extension recognises the page automatically — there is nothing to switch on.
  3. Read the live prices. A moment after the page loads, prices are rewritten in place and a delta is shown next to each one.
  4. Interact freely. Switching an item's variant, changing a money-making guide's kills/hour, or re-running a calculator re-injects the live prices automatically.

Prices are cached in your browser for about 5 minutes (item data for 1 hour) so repeated visits stay fast and gentle on the API. Nothing is stored anywhere except your own browser.

04Understanding the delta views

Wherever a page already showed a price, the extension keeps the original layout but swaps in the live value and adds a small delta pill — the difference between the live value and the value the wiki had cached. The pill has two parts that read independently: an arrow for which way the number moved, and a colour for whether that move is good or bad for you.

A cost that dropped: 1,284,000 ▼ 96,500
A cost that rose: 4,310,000 ▲ 42,000
More profit: 5,120,000 ▲ 180,000

05Known limitations

A few things the extension deliberately doesn't try to price:

06Privacy

The extension uses no browser-account or history APIs. It reads only the wiki page you're on and makes price requests to prices.runescape.wiki — the official OSRS Wiki real-time prices API. There are no analytics, no third-party servers, and no data leaves your machine.
