Hi there,

I wrote another script that incorporates data from IsThereAnyDeal.com on the giveaway page.
When you enter a GA page, the script loads the game's IsThereAnyDeal page and fetches the current best price as well as a list of bundles that contain(ed) the game. It displays all data on the left panel below the "Stores" panel. Active bundles are highlighted. You can click the link in the "Stores" section to get to the "Info" page on itad.com.

TL;DR

  • Show lowest price from isthereanydeal.com with link
  • Show list of current and expired bundles with links

Install

You'll need a scriptmanager like Tampermonkey in Chrome or Greasemonkey in Firefox to install this script

I don't know if another script already exists like this but I am looking for a script that incorporates data from SteamDB lowest prices instead/aswell because it has regional pricing. But anyways, very useful script! Thank you!

Maybe add SteamDB regional pricing option as well? Would be very useful for people not in the US I think.

Sorry, I'm not actively maintaining this script anymore.
You can try requesting the SteamDB feature in the ESGST thread, revilheart usually is pretty quick to fulfill user requests

Hello, thank you for the script. I noticed an issue when clicking on the IsThereAnyDeal link. I don't get any results when landing on ITAD, and the url shows as https://isthereanydeal.com/#/page:game/info?plain=warhammeriv0000battlesector
However I can find the game if I search it manually: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/warhammer-40000-battlesector/info/

Fixed the game info link, but it might not work for all games. The rest of the script is still broken.

My patch got merged, so the script should auto update. If you edited it, you have to trigger the update manually.

Changes: https://github.com/maherm/steamgifts_scripts/pull/6/files

Thanks for the PR, I merged it.

Concerning the overall state of the script after the changes to the ITAD website:
I'm not actively maintaining the script anymore. This means I don't plan on fixing the script, but I am happy to accept pull requests.

Actiually, I'm amazed the script ran almost 8 years without any kind of support ^^

Thank you very much!

Are the changes from the new ITAD version too deep to fix the script completely?

Idk. There's another major contributor apart from mahermen, maybe he could help: https://github.com/maherm/steamgifts_scripts/graphs/contributors

It looks like the script was scraping info from the HTML code. The "ajax" URL used for this changed or is gone, however I found an archived version as an example what kind of data the script was working with: https://web.archive.org/web/20231122234516/http://isthereanydeal.com/ajax/game/info?plain=rage (scroll down)

There might be a better way to do this, as ITAD has an API and lists apps using it.
https://isthereanydeal.com/apps/ - There are even two entries mentioning Lex's SG chart maker (which needs an API key).

I get it, the easiest/fastest way to the fix would be to find the new (if exists) ajax URL (if it has the same or similar format than the old one).

There might be a better way to do this

I suppose yes but that would probably be doing it from scratch using the API.

ITAD Everywhere has a "show lowest price" feature at least, although you need to hover the mouse over the "E" symbol for the price info to appear. You get the best (current) price, the historical low, and some links e.g. to the game info.

The currency (location) can be configured, too, though at least with the Firefox extension, it's a bit hidden. You need to go to the list of installed extensions ( about:addons ) and then click on the triple-dot menu "..." of the extension and choose "Settings".

Only thing missing is the bundle info.

Thank you! But yes, I miss the bundle info, that's why I loved this script before the latest changes :(

Yea. I used mainly this feature. It was great reminder of potential source for GA (and possible buy if still active) and how many times it was bundled.Hope something alternative will be made in future.

PS. My problem is that I dont like ESGST (because of that I still use also not developed anymore Extended Steamgifts which I love :) ) and I noticed that often many smaller script was stopped to be developed because of features integrated to ESGST, which is very bad for me :).

Yes, ESGST is overkill if you only need some features like this one.
