So, I've been playing with Elinor (https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=141726) for a while, and I really like the data it outputs.. but I hate that I have to click export to file on an individual item, rather than scraping a given market segment and then having that data available for each item in that market segment. I know we have cache scrapers, I know we can do this math, but I haven't seen the two come together... yet.

That's where you, trusty eve application developer, come in! I'd be willing to discuss in-depth details on how such a tool would work, and if you're interested in making it part of a suite (similar to eve mentat etc) even better. I'm fairly light on ISK right now, but I'm trading my way up and I'd be happy to have you share in my success (which this tool would most certainly assist!).

think about it this way:

If a developer was willing to put together an application to scan a market for good trades, why would they make it public? Every other person running it would 'steal' their trades, and reduce the profit margin.

Woo! CSM XI!

Not everybody who develops with EVE API is primarily interested in personal ISK gain?

Following this line of logic, we'd have no public resources, but there you go; not everybody is so cynical.
