I am trying to query Eve Central's API for market statistics, using the "hours=" parameter, and getting the same result no matter what value I give it.

http://api.eve-central.com/api/marketstat?typeid=34&usesystem=30000142&hours=24

http://api.eve-central.com/api/marketstat?typeid=34&usesystem=30000142&hours=3

http://api.eve-central.com/api/marketstat?typeid=34&usesystem=30000142&hours=72

These all give the same output for me; one would expect the volumes to be different orders of magnitude. Unless I'm totally off base with what is meant by "volume", in which case I would love to be enlightened.

Thanks!

hours= looks at the Reported Time to determine filtering. So if you are looking at one region the reported times would all be the same.

This filter does not go back into time it only looks at the last reported time per item per region.

What this filter does is to filter out stale records that are x hours old when looking at multiple regions.

Hope this makes sense.
