Diablo 2 did not have mod tools or allow addons either. I don't believe they were ever planning to have features for such for Diablo 3.
One of my favorite parts about the wow auction house was using addons to automate a lot of the tedious stuff, especially tracking sales and prices over time.
At present it doesn't look like there will be anything to track information similar to WoW Ah addons, just in line with their policy of not allowing any UI modifications.
I assume another reason is that it ensures that the amount of information any one player possesses about the AH will be rather similar. This will ensure a more fair and effective trading environment for everyone.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
Blizzard will eventually add something called the Diablo Remote App, similar to the WoW Remote App, but... Otherwise, mods are strictly prohibited by the ToU.

Which, to clarify, will still only deal with your personal Diablo account, right? So this still will not provide for an online version of the AH that can be scanned.

Well, the WoW one has an online AH that you can get data from, so it's hard to say.
And there are a few of us already working on sites to track AH trends and prices. Even without any form of API or datamining the AH, we can enter the stuff in mainly... Will at least give some kind of idea.
Does this mean no mods for the Auction House or addons that could help us look for items, post, etc?
Really going to be bummed if that's the case

Not having that is going to be difficult :*(
