Looking for a bone: help with trading house rules

[Lunaugh]

I appreciate your concerns.
I am however, of the Undaunted.

Tamriel Trade Center and Master Merchent are indeed vet-dungeons and I'm non-champion point lvl 20 wandering in.

I will not, however, change my ambitious goal.
I need to strive for the advanced, because I want the advanced.
I've been trolling the wiki for some of the API commands, but I didn't know there was another page that would help me identify when to trigger certain functions.

When I began coding, it was specifically because I wanted to take the data that tamriel trade center collects and import it to an excel file: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.co...ta-dump#latest
Not finding what I wanted, I resolved to create my own. I've gone from zero coding experience to manipulating xlsx files with python openpyxl; I now have Visual Studio, SQL and a few other DYI coding applications.

tl;dr
thanks for your help! I won't take your advice regarding MM and TTC.

P.S. your signature just ran a while-loop on me:
function checkForTypo (text)
do -------
end
counter = 0
while counter ~=5
do checkForTypo (sirinsidiator's signature)
counter = counter + 1
end

P.P.S.:
what is the difference between zos term 'gamepad' and 'keyboard'?

Minimize the number of puzzles you need to solve at once, focus on what's essential: read Tamriel Trade Centre data and export it as an Excel spreadsheet (aka a text file, either comma-separated or tab separated).

You don't need to write an add-on to do that. Just a stand-alone script that loads SavedVariables/TamrielTradeCentre.lua and then uses the data stored in that file to populate a text file.

Then the only puzzles you're left with are
* how to write a stand-alone Lua script
* that can read a SavedVariables file
* and write a text file
* and understands whatever format/table/arrangement is within that SavedVariables
