Data Retention
How long each kind of data stays queryable. Game data (items, monsters, spells, …) is a snapshot of the current patch and has no retention window: it is replaced wholesale when a new patch is imported. The live feeds below are time-series. Some are kept forever, some roll off.
| Data | Endpoint | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Trade chat | /v2/trades/chat | 14 days |
| Market listings | /v2/market | 30 days |
| Price history | /v2/market/analytics/… | 30 days |
| Population | /v2/population/history | Indefinite |
| Server status | /v2/status/history | 90 days |
| Leaderboards | /v2/leaderboard | Indefinite |
| Patches & notes | /v2/patches | Indefinite |
Trade chat
/v2/trades/chat serves a rolling 14 day window. Messages older than that are deleted permanently. There is no archive, so mirror the feed on your side if you need longer history.
Market
Listings on /v2/market are kept for 30 days. A listing's lifecycle fields (has_sold, has_expired, sold_at) are resolved shortly after it leaves the in-game marketplace; listings live at most 7 days in game. The pre-computed price history behind /v2/market/analytics/{item_id}/prices/history rolls off on the same 30 day window, so price charts cover at most the last month.
Population
Raw population samples are kept indefinitely. /v2/population/history answers coarse intervals (1h, 1d, 1w, 2w, 4w) from pre-computed aggregates and everything else straight from the raw samples, so any interval can reach the full history.
Server status
/v2/status/history serves per-component daily uptime buckets for the last 90 days. Older status samples are purged.
Permanent archives
Leaderboards (/v2/leaderboard) keep every season's final standings. Patches and patch notes (/v2/patches) are a permanent catalog. Neither is ever pruned.
