See historical pricing data per item

Hi there!
I love aux and it's clean user interface! I didn't see any where to talk about this addon (like a Discord), so posting here.
There's some things from Auctionator (and TSM) that I'm missing and I would love to see in aux.
In the Selling tab of Auctionator there's a "History" button where you can see the value of an item from previous days.
And in TSM Dashboard we can see a graph over our gold over time.
I'd love to be able to see historical prices listed in aux as well. I know we have the historical value percentage, but over how long of a period is that?
Is that just a calculated number or are the prices going back in time available in the data storage somewhere?
I'm a developer but haven't done any WoW addon things before, but if you point me in the right direction I could take a look :-)
Also, is it possible to access for example the TSM price database from aux, from a technical side? Not saying we should, but can one addon access the data of another addon? Or the Auctionator one. I don't know if all these AH addons are storing data in some somewhat standard format, or if each is very differrent :-)
Hello flexd
I'm not planning to do any more functional updates at this point. Only the era version I will continue to maintain, with its current features.
The historical price is a median of I think 12 data points, weighted by how recent, where each data point is aggregated I think as the average of the minimum prices of all scans of the respective day, so the time span depends on how frequently you scan. If you scan every day then the period is 12 days. If not, then there can be gaps of any length. Since this is somewhat arbitrary and technical I never exposed this data directly.
Last I checked, the only way for outside data or persisted data to enter an addon was still the savedvariables interface, which works through global variables, so if that's still the case then yes, any other addon should be able to access TSM's price data.
