# ARK: Survival Ascended — public prices

> Daily, automated price collection for the ARK: Survival Ascended catalogue on the
> PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store (Xbox) and Steam, across five markets:
> France, Belgium, United Kingdom, United States and Canada. Open data, no API key,
> no authentication.

ARK: Survival Ascended (Studio Wildcard, 2023) ships with a large catalogue of add-ons:
free maps, paid expansions, creature packs and bundles. Their prices vary by storefront
and by country, and sales do not end on the same dates from one platform to the next.
This site publishes those prices as structured data, refreshed every day.

## Data

- [Prices as JSON](https://devredious.github.io/asa-prices/asa-prices.json): the full dataset, refreshed daily. One object per product, with the per-store and per-market breakdown of offers, the cheapest price converted to euros, running discounts and their end dates, and each product's release instant.
- [Browse the prices, English](https://devredious.github.io/asa-prices/en/): the same data as a static HTML table.
- [Consulter les prix, français](https://devredious.github.io/asa-prices/fr/): les mêmes données en tableau HTML statique.
- [Source repository and history](https://github.com/DevRedious/asa-prices): every price change is a commit, which makes the Git history a browsable price history.

## How to read it

- All instants are UTC, in ISO 8601. Convert them to your reader's own time zone. A release recorded as 13 February locally may well be the 14th in UTC.
- Foreign prices are given in their local currency; the `price_eur` field carries the euro equivalent at the collection day's rate.
- PlayStation issues one product listing per commercial zone rather than per country: one covers Europe (euro and pound sterling), another covers the Americas. France and Belgium therefore share a single listing and a single price.
- The `no_price` status means an item is *not sold separately* — it is bundled into a pass. It does not mean the item is free; use the `free` flag for that.
- Within the eurozone all three storefronts charge identical prices, but they diverge noticeably elsewhere. Bundles follow no rule at all: each store decides its own contents and discount.
- The catalogue is rediscovered on every run, so new content enters the dataset automatically.
