So in general what is the 'best' language to write a 3rd party application. I have read that some of Eve data is a little messy and not a friendly conversion to certain languages. |

I have read that some of Eve data is a little messy and not a friendly conversion to certain languages. There isn't such thing as "best" language. You should always choose the right tool for the job, so the first question is - what kind of application do you want to make?
Hey all, I was recently thinking of making a program and or application that does the following:
Takes every item in the game and determines when it was sold and then graphs it.
This will show the best times to trade that item.
Starting off, It would tell you the frequency over all of eve then as I progress It can be station specific
These are some basic ideas, however, my main question is there a public access to time stamped data of when things are sold. I have thought of a couple different ways of getting this data, although it would be much easier if CCP already had a time stamp of everything bought and sold. The other way would be to use the API of every player active on EVE online and use there transaction logs to determine what was bought and sold and the time. Although from a coding point of view this would take ages, and as an application may not be the most efficient, however it is doable.....
Here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=440548 it talks about volume which is important but my main concern would be obtaining a time stamp as of now.
If anyone has questions or concerns please ask. This is just an idea as of now I Have done some basic frame work on coding. If you need any further explanation of my ideas let me know!
And yes i know there is no 'best' ha ha hence the quotes. :)
Here is another discussion on it https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=450871&find=unread |

Evernus already does what you want to create, so I can tell you it's possible to make. But, you didn't say what kind of application you want to build. Desktop? Mobile? Web?
Evernus doesnt do what we are doing. It will be a web based. Half the code is done now :) im excited! |
