Bug: Trade Price API Uber Slow

[Phrogg]

I'm running an ajax request against https://politicsandwar.com/api/tradeprice/resource=iron (for example) and its taking between 6-10 seconds to return about 300B of data. This has been consistent over the last week or so. I don't remember this being the case 6-8 month ago when I last had a need to interact with the API.

The other API endpoints (including /api/nations) are working fine.

That's because I have a delay on that script so that people can't use it to pull real time data and snag those super good trade offers (which are usually mistakes) immediately with scripts or bots. It's been this way for at least a few months if not 6 months or longer.

If that's the intention, could you remove the Captchas for deleting offers? Those take more than 6 to 10 seconds to complete.

could we get an endpoint that has the prices of all the resources for legitimate purposes? something that updates maybe once a day so it cant be abused?
