Quoting from the newest EVE newsletter that I am sure you all have been spammed with: "now is the perfect time to lobby for your favorite feature request in the Features and Ideas forum".
I have created a thread there for market improvements and double posting both here and there, to keep both threads high. If we can manage to keep it high for few weeks, maybe, just maybe, we will see a better ingame wallet, working shares, and other stuff that is on our wishlists :)

I'd love to see ISK transfers using the API key. That would mean banks could have automatic transfers which means nearly instant withdrawals and no need for tellers which means a lot less operating costs which means better interest rates.
Shares need a lot of work: tracking of who has them, who sent them to whom and splitting.
Exporting market data via the API key would be nice, I can't imagine it would take much effort to make it accessible out of game. Plus they already give us calculated statistics in game so why not make it easier for us to do complex calculations on our own? It's allowing all sorts of cool new features except having us put the effort into developing them, all they have to do is let us access the market database outside of the game and that seems like a fair trade to me. Obviously they would need to limit it a tad so you can't see real-time orders for every region in EvE but the technical details can be worked out later.
An interesting one that they would probably never go for is "locking down" ships and items such that you can use them but can't sell or eject them. Further, if it's a ship and it's destroyed the insurance payout is automatically placed in a special corp wallet with limited access. That way if a publicly funded corp were established with substantial value in ships/items a 3rd party's alt can be made CEO and the ships/items locked down in this fashion. That would mean that the person running the corp couldn't steal any of those assets, even if he intentionally destroyed them the corp would have the insurance paid into a wallet he couldn't touch. For business like mine where I have a 7B Jump Freighter and 1.5B Carrier it would allow me to offer a substantially higher degree of security to investors without interfering with my operation of the corp.

I don't think this is a good idea. Even if you limit market exports to region, you need only 10+ alts to have have out of game application with capability greately exceeding capabilities of all in-game market tools. It would change trading completly, it would move it out of game. Who would bother with research in game if one database query can give you an answer?
I am strongly against any automated market data exports. API should only provide basic global data about Eve universe and data releated to your char/corp. It should not allow you to do anything inside Eve.
IMO current version of API is nearly perfect. All they need to do is more sophisticated access system - let user choose services and perhaps even characters and generate custom keys only for these services/characters.

It's an interesting discussion. What about a skill that would allow you to export more than one item (in a region) at once? Perhaps a lv8 skill that once maxed would allow you to export an entire category of items (ex. 'hull & armor components') or at least a group (ex. all 'armor platings')? Would this be a reasonable compromise?

Skills should only do stuff in EVE.

It would be abused, I can tell what I would do - place alt in every region with significant market, link them all via API into one database and never do ingame market research again. My database would tell me price differences between region with one click, most profitable items in one click, everything... it would be too easy.

This was already implemented in API v2.
