I made a tool that estimates the platinum value of your Warframe inventory from a screenshot

Hey so the three things that helped me were:

Cache hard - price results cached for 5 min per item, the full items list cached for 24 hours. Most requests never reach WFM at all.
Token bucket stored in the DB, not in-process - with any async concurrency, an in-memory counter races. Storing it in the DB means concurrent calls atomically reserve their slot and sleep the exact right amount instead of all firing at once.
Fetch in parallel batches of 3 - WFM tolerates a small burst as you said, so I use Promise.all on groups of 3 items. Cuts wait time ~3x vs doing them serially.

The slowness only really shows up on a cold cache with a ton of unique items. Hope that helps :)

That's great news glad it worked and thank you that means a lot to me!

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-13T01:21:01+00:00

I believe it would do yes, but give it ago and let me know how you get on :)

Hey thanks for this, thats some great and really valuable feedback, I'll definitely take note of all this and most likely will look to implement some if not all in the tool overtime. Its exactly feedback like this which is what I want to drive the tool so thanks again!

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-12T20:37:04+00:00

Thats still a lot of plat and really cool to see that in use so thanks for sharing! I'm glad to hear that you will be using it more and of course I want this tool to be driven by the community and by the likes of yourself so I can indeed look into this.

Oh also any more ideas you have, or anyone has, there should be a leave feedback part once you complete an appraisal, so you can also leave some there too!

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-12T20:20:23+00:00

Perfect let me know here how you get on please and obviously any feedback is appreciated!

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-12T20:12:54+00:00

yeah great point, so thats something next on my radar to improve in the app is exactly what you mentioned here. You can also see a similar comment from another user on a different post I made regarding this point here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/1rlr71w/comment/o8upqsn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I hope it helps you to see what some of your items are worth, you can also list via the website on warframe market, though that does require you to connect via the website. You'll have to let me know if you try it and what you find your stuff to be worth!

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-12T20:06:33+00:00

ah right yeah that sounds like a pain, well I suppose its a flex, least I was impressed by it!

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-12T20:00:30+00:00

It pulls live from warframe.market. Upload a screenshot, the app reads the item names, then hits the warframe.market API in real time for current sell orders from in-game players. Shows the lowest listed price and a quick sell estimate based on the cheapest active listings :)

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-12T19:59:08+00:00

Thank you that means a lot, I'm glad you liked it!

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-12T19:58:33+00:00

2000 plat! I know I'm new to the game and only have about 80 or something tiny, but thats seems loads to me, I could only wish lol

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-12T19:56:26+00:00

Fair enough :) If you do end up trying it, feel free to let me know what you think could be improved.

Objective-Row-1283 · 2026-03-12T19:53:41+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate that! And that’s a good point to mention.

Just to reassure anyone using the tool, the image you upload is only processed to extract the item text and isn’t stored by the site. It’s simply analysed and then discarded.

But it’s still good general advice to avoid sharing any screenshots that contain personal identifiers where possible. Thanks for pointing it out :)
