How to Contribute
Itemdb is an open-source website and needs your contribution to become even more awesome. And there are several ways to help!
The Item Data Extractor
All information on itemdb comes directly from users, like you, who are using the Item Data Extractor script.
The Item Data Extractor will collect data from all items you come across during your adventures in Neopia. Whether you're searching for something on the Shop Wizard, browsing through your Safety Deposit Box, or restocking on Half Price Day.
No information linking you (or your Neopets account) to the collected data is sent, processed, or stored by our servers.
You and your account are absolutely safe. Don't trust us? The entire code of itemdb is freely available, take a look.
Also, the script code is commented so that you can understand everything that is happening.
How to Install
- First you will need the Tampermonkey extension for your browser if you don't have it already.
- Then you just need to click here to install the script and it's done!
What is sent to itemdb
- Item info such as name, description, rarity, etc.
- Item prices from shops, auctions, and trades.
The owners and bidders usernames are collected, but only the first 3 characters are stored in our database.
- Restock info
When an item is in stock at a shop, the script will collect that information.
- Openable Drops
When you open items like Mystery Capsules or a Goodie Bags, the script will collect the items you received.
- Your IP address
This is used to prevent abuse, spam and false information. It's never public available and cannot be used to identify you.
What is NOT sent to itemdb
- Your username, password, or any other personal information from you or your Neopets account.
Only the first 3 characters of your username may, sometimes, be collected in the situations mentioned above.
Feedback System
The Feedback System is a way for you to help us improve itemdb.You can contribute by manually completing missing data or by validating the suggestions of other neopians like you! Either way, the more you contribute correctly the more our systems will trust your information - meaning your suggestions will be live faster.
You can also help by pricing trading lots (aka translating the wishlist into Neopoints values) and voting on community suggestions to ensure they are accurate and correct, and should be incorporated into the itemdb.
Creating Official Lists
Want to track every prize of a certain event or daily? Or maybe you have a list that could be useful to other neopians? You can apply your list to become an official list on itemdb!
As an official list, your list will receive a special badge and will be featured on its item's pages, so that other neopians can easily find it. You will be listed as the curator of the list, and it will be your task to keep it up to date and complete!
Before applying, please make sure your list is complete and up to date. You can also check the official lists to see other examples of cool official lists! Also check our Terms and Conditions for more information on official lists.
