Access ad addon's data?

[jim87]

Hello!

I'd like to know if it's possible to access a particular addon's data. My idea is to get the value of an item from an AH addon like Auctioneer or Auctionator.

Thanks

It's addon dependent and exact addon's documentation should cover this topic.
Some addons share data with others and almost never same way to access it.

I'm looking for the Auctionator database of items (even if I found a way to load XML files from Undermine Journal, still it may be fun to know). What you say is I'd call an addon-dependant function to load data and listen for the reply?

Not function, Addons are generally stored in lua tables (or whatever it's called), every function it contains, every data etc.
You just need to know exact "map" of data to access it also if data is "local" you cannot access it from outside and as i see Auctionator keeps everything local.

Imho best way would be to mail creator of Auctionator to ask if its possible and how to retrieve data from it, other way would be to search/ask on WoW Addons related forums (don't mention you need it for bot ofc ;D ), it's 100% addon-side related and has nothing to do with bot.
