Description
Koda AH Scanner
Know what your stuff is worth, without the bloat.
Koda AH Scanner adds a single Database button to the Auction House. Click it once and the addon reads every listing on the AH. From then on, any item you hover shows an AH Value line in its tooltip: bags, bank, loot windows, chat links, everywhere.
No giant config windows, no background processing, no frame drops. It does one job and stays out of your way.
Features
- One-click full scan. The Database button sits at the top right of the AH window and reads every auction in seconds.
- Tooltip values everywhere. See the lowest price per unit on any item that's listed on the AH.
- Shift for details. Hold Shift over an item to see how old the scan is and how many are listed.
- Per-realm data. Each realm keeps its own prices.
- Built for Midnight. Uses the modern tooltip system and respects Midnight's secret-value restrictions.
Why it's lightweight
- Zero work while you play. No OnUpdate handlers, no polling, no timers running in the background.
- No freezing during scans. Results are processed in tiny 5 ms slices per frame, even on realms with hundreds of thousands of auctions.
- Tiny saved data. Only two numbers are stored per item: price and quantity.
- No libraries. No Ace3 or other dependencies.
How to use
- Open the Auction House.
- Click Database.
- Hover any item.
Blizzard only allows one full AH scan every 15 minutes per account, so the button shows a countdown until it's ready again.

Notes
- Gear with different item levels shares one item ID, so the tooltip shows the cheapest listed version.
- Caged battle pets are skipped, since they all share one item ID.
