Albion Free Market Data Client

⚠️ ATTENTION

After instalation, the Data Client will be minimized in system tray!

💻 Data Client

An alternative client for The Albion Online Data Project that provides the same functionality as the official client, but with a user-friendly graphical interface and easy-to-use settings.

Note: Data is mostly uploaded to The Albion Online Data Project, except when the user explicitly chooses not to.

Beta Release: This software is in beta. Use at your own risk.

Important: If you use this client, uninstall the official AODP client to avoid uploading data twice.

Free and Open Source: This software is completely free, open source (check license) and is not tied to the usage of Albion Free Market website. The data uploaded via this software to AODP can be seen in any Albion Online fansite that consumes AODP and even on your own sheets.

Note: Linux version does not support automatic updates. Run the installer again to update. Note: Linux installation and software had very limited testing. Feel free to contribute to the repository if you can.

MacOS

AFM Data Client should be able to run on MacOS, but it's not very developed. Feel free to contribute to the repository if you can. If you are on Apple Silicon, download AFMDataClient_MacOS_arm64.app.zip. Intel users should download AFMDataClient_MacOS_x64.app.zip.

Since the app is not signed, you'll get a warning like this when you try to run it:

If you click the ? button, this is the explanation and instructions shown on how to allow the app to run:

So in the Security section, click Open Anyway. You will need to type your password to allow it.

Everytime you open the app, it'll ask for your password, since it needs elevated privileges to be able to listen to the network packets.

The app will stay minimized in the top right.

There's no automatic update feature for MacOS, so you should manually download new versions.
