“Our position is quite simple. As long as you just look and analyze we are ok with it. The moment you modify or manipulate something or somehow interfere with our services we will react (e.g. perma-ban, take legal action, whatever).”
What the Client Reads & How It Works
The Albion Data Project client (albiondata-client) monitors local network traffic to identify Albion Online UDP packets containing marketplace orders and gold prices, and sends this data to a central NATS server.
The project is open source and licensed under the MIT License on GitHub.
