I'm interested if there is any tool that updates mineral prices trough API and pretty much makes the life easy of a small time refiner. I'm aware that there is also a tool that lets you know if you should refine or sell already owned assets but my interest is in something that has it's own item database and helps the pilot making a decision if he should buy or not an item from the market with the intent of refining it and make a profit from selling the minerals either directly to buy orders or trough 0.1 babysitting.

I am also aware that my request is maybe hard to understand but that is because English is not my native language so I find it a bit hard to express myself. I hope tho I'm clear enough and help will be provided.

Cheers

The Eve Industrial Organiser does that, although any prices pulled through api may not be 100% accurate.

It's best to manually enter the prices in before you start refining/selling etc making sure the wanted mineral volume/hauling is worth while.

it assumes 100% refining skills including zero station refining tax and it's Excel 2007 only. It will also be updated just as soon as the data dump from CCP is released, or shortly there after.

Material reports in my industry tracker can help you here

You simply enter the ore you've mined, select a refine level and the report does the rest. prices are updated on an hourly basis as and when needed directly from eve-central based on jita Maximum Buy. If you submit the preview to save the report those values are stored on a report by report basis so if you go into the report say in 2 or 3 months time, you'll see the potential refined worth of the materials when you created it

Now if you wanted to do a comparative buy verses sell on the refined results, simply select all the text in the mineral table on the right, copy it and paste it into the Price Check section. It will parse the information and allow you to check buy and sell so you can make a choice on what to do
Most material tables can be copied and pasted like this into the price checker

I know this is a bit of a faf so I will be adding the option to select whether to base the refined worth on buy and sell when I finish some features other features I'm working on.

I love the range of options Eve players have at their disposal to obtain answers to their questions no small thanks due to CCP's commitment in releasing a free to use data tool set.

Personally I created the Eve Industrial Organiser because there was not a multiple item manufacturing calculator available for public use at the time. That and I found that I actually enjoyed learning how to use spreadsheet formula far easily than modern coding languages. I've even received ISK donations in the past from appreciative users.

Pick a tool, any tool, use it, profit and enjoy, but please give credit and positive feedback where due and of course the all important bug reports.

TL:DR - Make a choice, use and enjoy, profit - provide feedback and if possible donate.

I thank you.
