Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.20 10:49:00 - [1] How about a Regional Market History export? \| WTS Archons and Nidhoggurs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.20 18:27:00 - [2] Originally by: Ovno ConSyquence Originally by: maltari Originally by: Mr Horizontal Originally by: Ray McCormack How about a Regional Market History export? I second this. It should be quite easy to just dump all the price history tables to static files during downtime, requestable by sending ItemID and RegionID - either by having special file names ie XXXX-YYYY-history.xml (where XXXX = ItemID and YYYY = RegionID) or by having a smarter ASPX file that accepts them as POST variables. These files simply need the date, lowest, highest and that day's Regional Average for any given item in any given region. Then the current lowest, highest and Regional Average price can be updated on a 15 minute basis on an as-requested basis, much like the skill card. It should be possible, yes. But it would completely change the market... Because with that addition, you wouldn't even need to look at the market to know what to do, a little script could do it for you, parsing the market and your orders... would be way too powerful IMHO... I'd love to have this, but it would entirely change the nature of the market as you could easily check what sells well, what produces the most profit etc.. and then only build/trade that. And more importantly it would make all the time i put into writing a market export analyser which does exactly that, completly worthless.... Let alone the time it takes to manually export every item on the market across 3 or 4 regions I don't see it affecting the market that much, as it would simply adapt to what is being done. All it provides is easier access to information that is already there, which is what this API is all about. Now, while it may take a considerable time to do a dump of count(itemID) * count(regionID) that many items is pointless as it is already done and exists in the form of the Market History table. We just need a way to access that exact same information through the API. \| WTS Archons and Nidhoggurs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.21 09:03:00 - [3] Originally by: Salvis Tallan Also gotta vote no on market info throught the site... Can you provide some reasoning behind that statement? As, in my mind, it's data that is already available just not in an easily accessible form. \| WTS Archons and Nidhoggurs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.21 10:24:00 - [4] Originally by: Oshaga Nanir I'm all for it, of course the limit would be that your character must be in that region you wanna get the market data from. To fetch all region markets you would need a character in each one of them. Otherwise this would be a feature better than the in-game market and I don't think it's fair to go further than the in-game features. Yer, nice idea that. \| WTS Archons and Nidhoggurs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.21 15:59:00 - [5] Originally by: Salvis Tallan Originally by: Ray McCormack Originally by: Salvis Tallan Also gotta vote no on market info throught the site... Can you provide some reasoning behind that statement? As, in my mind, it's data that is already available just not in an easily accessible form. My reason is about 6 months in the works, and not done... So basically you don't want it because you've been coding something that will be made redundant? A little selfish, don't you think? \| WTS Archons and Nidhoggurs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.24 10:40:00 - [6] Originally by: Nobues You must be a kid who never really knows how to program but thinks he does. That's uncalled for, mate. Absolutely no need for that in this thread. Simply explaining why it is needed would've sufficed. \| WTS Archons and Nidhoggurs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.24 21:06:00 - [7] Originally by: Tonto Auri Quote: Secondly, is a market export coming? I don't mind CCP saying no, I just want an answer, we've all been waiting too long. No and never. Your arguments against it are quite compelling. Tbh, it's not the i-win button for traders everyone thinks it will be. It will simply be another tool in this great dynamic that is the EVE market. It will give no advantage that it doesn't counter-measure in itself. \| WTS Archons and Nidhoggurs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.25 00:02:00 - [8] Originally by: Tonto Auri Don't roll Your eyes, You know that NPC trading now is enough close to exploit to not boost it to new level. Then get rid of it if it's exploitable. But don't make that a reason for not making already available data easily accessible. \| WTS Archons and Nidhoggurs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.25 14:28:00 - [9] Originally by: Dunedon An API that would allow us to track the incoming and outgoing corporate hanger contributions. I'm not sure that's possible or feasible, as corp hangars aren't logged or audited. \| WTS Archons and Nidhoggurs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.06.28 09:32:00 - [10] Originally by: Serenity Steele Additionally, I don't think it's a Sov 1 vs. Sov 2 thing only, because something like 800 systems should have gone sov 2 today. Is Sov2 not 14 days? \| How To Afford A Tech II BPO \| BMBE ISK Loans \|

Ray McCormack BIG	Posted - 2007.07.06 19:48:00 - [11] Originally by: Chruker things that aren't OK are things that are like market information I'm extremely disappointed by this. I can only imagine Oveur has vetoed this idea. I would like to know the reasoning behind this, more than just that it would provide macro engines with too much information, as that's just not true. Capturing information from the logserver and automated OCR is just as viable at the moment to those with enough initiative (see earlier responses in this thread that show it is achievable). So I hope there's more to not wanting this information out there than just that. \| Free Research On BS BPOs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|

Ray McCormack hirr	Posted - 2007.07.22 10:51:00 - [13] Originally by: Raquel Smith I wrote a Ruby library to interface with the API. Still early days but it seems to work for me. Ruby is nice, I wouldn't mind getting stuck into it. Any idea when the SVN will be up? \| Researched BS BPOs \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
Ray McCormack hirr	Posted - 2007.07.23 22:05:00 - [14] Originally by: Eight Ace Is the intention of the /corp/WalletJournal.csv.aspx page that it's pumped into a database on my server if I want to query it or store it for others to reference or will the server happily dish this information out to other clients? Yes. No. What are you trying to achieve? If you want the data, just save the XML straight from your Character sheet (link over on the left there). If you're looking to save the data on a webpage your best bet is to stick it into a database and then query that yourself. I'll be releasing an Open Source Offline Wallet later in the week that does this for you. You are not meant to access the API everytime you want to view the information, it's meant to be stored over a period of time in your own database (or similar). \| Thanatos BPO ME1 Auction \| BMBE ISK Loans \|
