API functions to get anomalies and bookmark them?

I'll start by explaining what I'm trying to accomplish and would appreciate some feedback on if this is possible now.

I do a lot of salvaging of cleared anomalies. To find these I first bookmark all the anomalies in a system, then periodically check if one of the ones I bookmarked has disappeared. This will be a completed anomaly and I can warp in a noctis and start salvaging. This method works fine but could be made much easier if I could get the list of active anomalies via API, bookmark them all, and then find new and missing ones periodically by re-running a script.

I've been looking through as much API documentation as I can find but I just don't see any way to grab the list of anomalies from the scan window. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to with the current API?

No, it's not possible to do that with the API. The API doesn't contain any information about exploration sites cause you're supposed to explore in your ship for exploration content.

What you can do, is copy all the anomalies from the scanner window (select an anom, then press CTRL+A to select them all, CTRL+C copies them), paste them into a text area or file or what ever, them parse it. Each line will be an anomaly/signature. Save the anomalies for that system.

When you want to check for new/gone anomalies, copy and paste again, parse that again and you can compare the 2 lists of signatures/anomalies.
