How scanning works
Market data comes from scans with registered users' keys, inside Torn rate limits. Opt-ins control which scans your key joins. All optional. Change them in Settings → API.
The options
| Opt-in | What it does | Why enable |
|---|---|---|
| Unregistered Bazaar Scanning | Helps scan non-registered bazaars | Fresher listings for everyone |
| Item Market Scanning | Contributes item market snapshots | Better price comparisons |
| Ranked Weapon Scanning | Contributes ranked listings | Better Ranked Weapons results |
| Faction Scanning | Faction lookups via your key | Faction-aware features |
| Personal Stats | Shares personal stat snapshots | Leaderboards and My Stats |
| Display Case Scanning | Uses Torn user display selection to scan public display cases | Collectible / display-case catalog coverage |
| Hide My Bazaar From Tracking | Stops scanning your profile/bazaar, removes current listings, hides your bazaar from public listing views | Only if you want off the public aggregator |
Hide My Bazaar From Tracking
This is stronger than hiding a competitor. It takes your bazaar off the site's public listings.
