How did you people put up with that thing anyway? Those bugs were terrible

Am I correct in my assumption that EVE Central is not feeding email any more? I do not receive any order update information any more.

In the long run, I am moving away from the e-mail feed and towards pushed HTTP (the whole syndicate and common format discussion in that other thread).

Hmm, it seems my email doesn't work then. I did get a confirmation mail that I was already subscribed, but nothing more than that.

Oh well, I'll just wait for push services :)

When we use the xml api what would be the best ratio of items / import? I have a spreadsheet that needs info on about 120+ items and I've always wondered how to setup the imports so it does the least impact on your servers to prevent getting "data could not be retrieved" errors.

I suggest 20 for statistics only calls, 5 for full order lists.

Also, avoid making more than about 2 requests per second or you may run into the rate limiter.

The new unified uploader API is undergoing testing to use with third party clients. If you are currently uploading to EVE-Central, and would like to test the new API, please let me know.

Some updates:

• The E-mail push service will gain a generatedAt field trailing all other fields, such inclusion in EMDR.

Has this already been deployed? I'm not seeing it in the feed.

Any progress on supporting UF?

xml is working great, but I fear I may be uploading too much data from your servers as it hits a unable to pull error now and then. To make it easier, is there a way to load the entire market database from select systems say... once a hour / day?

Also what is the tab on exported data " stddev" and "percentile" refering to? guessing at percentile might be % change, no idea what stddev is... sounds like a disease lol

Need this to work on a quary system for excel 2007, any help would be appriciated.

I've been getting a lot of 0's from the marketstat API when the prices are there if you search on the eve-central page. Right now for example something seems to be wrong with Amarr Control Towers (http://api.eve-central.com/api/marketstat?typeid=12235&regionlimit=10000002). I don't know if you're already aware or if it's something intended. I just thought I'd post here to notify you just in-case.

Check the age of the orders - the default view on the web interface is 360 hours, whereas the default view on the API is 24 hours. This can be fixed with the hours= parameter.

Hi,

short question: How often is eve-central updated for upload data? I noticed that even after 15mins i keep seeing the old data, instead of the refreshed i uploaded?

bye Andy

The web interface can cache up to 30 minutes.

The web interface can cache up to 30 minutes.

The API and trade finder refreshes immediately.

Is there a way to pull data from the API without the TypeID, but with the item name?

Seriously, you need to reduce that a lot.

There is a visual issue on the site. Reported time isn't showing correctly (usually when the data are fresh?).

Will look into it. Odd one.

Maybe its the new evemon uploader?

Hey folks, just looked into the parser error - its not a parsing error (input data is correct), its a display issue on the older Python code.

The API should be unaffected, only the web display was affected (and is now kludge fixed).

If at all possible, please use the API for automated tasks :)

I would really much appreciate if you don't link EVEMon to this issue as EVEMon is not sending 'bad' data as you call them. You are creating misconceptions. Please try to find a different expression.

Um, sorry might have chosen my words unwisely :p I really would like to use eve-mon as updater, but because of this problem i had to revert back to the marketeer updater until now.

The problem seems "fixed" now, so i will test this later today again using eve-mon + XML API, so i'm sorry for "stirring" up troubles for u guys and i absolutely appreciate your hard work!

bye Andy

Is "1" a success response when uploading to the UU endpoint? Based on earlier posts in this thread it is, but just want to check ;)

Is that CPU load just in the HTTP gateway, or is that more so the storage/statistical/analytical stuff?

Marketstats like median, average, and volume are not matching quicklook or reality when it is restricted to a single system (at least).

For example, if I tell marketstats to check the price for caldari shuttle in Hek right now, the median price comes up as 150,000,000.00 isk. Quicklook (and reality) show that there are 3 sell orders for 300,000,000 isk, and a bunch for reasonable prices.

Also, median price for visible buy and sell orders are not matching the visible prices shown in the non-api section (at least for restrict to one region). Changing the settings (minimum quantity and hours) change the median price shown, but it never correctly matches the median price for all the buy and sell orders shown.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if it's not working right. Thanks.

I see. It seems like when there is ridiculously priced item, your algorithm sometimes considers the regularly priced items the outliers instead of the ridiculously priced item.

Thanks for the reply Kaladr!

Loving the updates to Eve-Central thus far! I have your API integrated into my software, My EVE API, and it's working great. I am loving the new faster speed! Truly an improvement!

Any chance on getting the datestamps standardized? ie: [expires]2012-09-04[/expires] VS [reported_time]09-04 05:51:3[/reported_time]. Even having 00:00:00 after the date would be cool, saves me a step ;)

Keep up the great work!

Getting a 'The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled.' for several items in the API.

http://api.eve-central.com/api/marketstat?typeid=21815&usesystem=30000142

Here is one example of the Elite Drone AI.

Here are the other TypeIDs causing issues:
Item IDItem Name
2083Prototype Iris Probe Launcher
13202Megathron Federate Issue
21815Elite Drone AI
22325'Daemon' Codebreaker I
22327'Codex' Codebreaker I
22329'Alpha' Codebreaker I
22331'Libram' Codebreaker I
22333Talocan Data Analyzer I
22335Sleeper Data Analyzer I
22337Terran Data Analyzer I
22339Tetrimon Data Analyzer I

Also, all Faction Structures and Faction Drones.

The probe launcher isn't an item you can make or buy, so I'll get rid of it. But the others haven't had issues before.

Hello, all,

This has probably been answered before but I'm not finding anything useful after an hour of searching. Is there a way to coax Excel to process more than 16 rows from the query? I can see in the preview that there are definitely more than 16 items coming back from eve-central, yet Excel only displays 16 of them. I can't imagine why Excel thinks it shouldn't quite process all of the data that has returned, even though it must have reached the end of the XML message.

Thanks for reading this,

vonDuck!

Not an excel master, but which API are you using? quicklook?

I'm getting a Bad Gateway error. Is this due to the server move?

EDIT: Never mind, it was only temporary.
