Albion Market Seller API & Screen Capture Setup
Set up the Albion Market Seller with screen capture or API-based price detection. Configure scan regions, auto-refresh intervals, proxy support for multi-client, and test your market data capture.

1How the Screen Capture Method Works
The Market Seller tool uses screen capture to read prices and listing data directly from your Albion Online market window. Rather than relying on an external API, the tool analyzes the pixels on your screen, extracts the text using optical character recognition, and processes the numbers into usable data. This approach works seamlessly with Albion's native interface and does not violate any game policies. The capture reads item names, prices, quantities, and time remaining on active listings, giving you a real-time snapshot of the market state. Understanding this core mechanism helps you properly configure the scan region for accurate results.
2Configuring the Scan Region
For the tool to read prices correctly, you must define the exact screen region where your market window appears. Open your market interface in Albion Online and position it where you plan to keep it during use. In the Market Seller settings, use the region selector tool to draw a bounding box around the market listings area, excluding the gold-silver toggle, search bar, and any UI chrome. A tightly cropped region reduces false readings and improves OCR accuracy. If you use multiple monitors, make sure the capture targets the correct display. After configuring the region, run a quick capture test to verify the data being read matches what you see on screen.
3Setting Auto-Refresh Intervals
The auto-refresh interval controls how often the tool re-scans the market window and updates your price data. For general price monitoring, an interval of 30 to 60 seconds provides a good balance between fresh data and performance. If you are actively listing items or watching a competitive market, shorter intervals of 10 to 15 seconds help you react quickly to price changes. Be mindful that very fast intervals may cause visual flickering or interfere with your ability to interact with the game. The tool will wait for the current scan to complete before starting the next one, so intervals shorter than the scan time will effectively run back-to-back.
4Proxy Configuration for Multiple Characters
Running multiple Albion characters simultaneously requires separate network routes to avoid IP-based detection. The Market Seller tool supports proxy configuration per client instance, allowing each character to appear from a different IP address. When setting up proxies, use residential or ISP-grade proxies located in the same region as your game server for stable connections. Configure the proxy settings in the tool before launching the game client, and verify the connection by checking your IP through a status indicator within the tool. Each proxy-bound instance runs independently, meaning you can manage different markets or characters from a single machine without conflicts.
5Blackzone vs Resticted Zone Market Detection
Albion Online markets behave differently depending on whether you are in a royal city, blackzone hideout, or resticted zone like Caerleon. The Market Seller tool automatically detects which type of market you are viewing based on the UI layout and price range patterns. Blackzone hideout markets tend to have thinner order books and wider spreads, while royal city markets offer deeper liquidity. Caerleon operates as a resticted market with its own fee structure and tax rates. The tool adjusts its capture expectations accordingly, flagging unusually wide spreads or low volumes that may indicate you are viewing a less active market. Always verify the detected market type matches your actual location.
6Testing Your Capture Setup
Before using the Market Seller for live trading, run a capture test to validate your configuration. Open the market window on a commonly traded item such as T4.1 refined resources, and trigger a manual scan from the tool interface. Compare the captured prices, quantities, and item names against what is displayed in game. Check that the tool correctly identifies buy orders versus sell orders and that the silver values parse without decimal errors. If readings are incorrect, adjust your scan region or check for overlapping UI elements. A successful test of five to ten different items across various tiers confirms your setup is ready for active trading.
7Multi-Client Capture Considerations
When running the Market Seller across multiple game clients, each instance needs its own capture configuration. The tool assigns a unique configuration file per client window, identified by the window title or process ID. Launch each game client separately, position its market window consistently, and configure the scan region for that specific instance. Avoid overlapping game windows on the same monitor as this can cause the capture to read from the wrong surface. If clients are on different monitors, verify that each scan region maps to the correct display. This per-client setup ensures the tool accurately manages listings for each character independently.
8Troubleshooting Common Capture Issues
If the tool reports no data or garbled prices after scanning, start by checking that your market window is fully visible and not obscured by other UI panels. Albion's UI scaling setting should be set to 100 percent for consistent OCR results; custom scaling can shift pixel positions and break the scan region. Verify that your graphics settings are using DirectX 11 with default UI brightness. If the tool reads incorrect item names, narrow the scan region to exclude the search bar and category tabs. Restarting both the game client and the tool can clear transient capture issues, and updating to the latest version of the Market Seller ensures you have the most recent OCR improvements.
