I'm looking for a way to export buy and sell data going back a month or so on both a corporate and individual level. I understand that I'm able to use the API to do it, but I'd like to see if there's a way to avoid using it. Preferred file type is .xml, if possible.

You are aware that the API is just that: XML?

Have a look at http://eve-assistant.org/api-docs/eve/#!/char/WalletTransactions_post_26

It doesn't get any simpler.

The tool I was using (Out of EVE) allows you to view things easily, with icons etc, from the API, but doesn't have an easy export feature. I'm not sure how to use the link you sent me (not the best at programming).

You use it by reading it. Big smile

That page is a guide on how to use the API, specifically the Wallet Transaction API (which provides the buy and sell data you're looking for).

You "ask" the API for wallet transactions data this way (paste into your browser and insert your API key details at the appropirated places):
https://api.eveonline.com//char/WalletTransactions.xml.aspx?keyID=(your keyID here)&vCode=(your vCode here)&characterID=(your caharcterID here)&rowCount=2560

The response you receive is an XML, an example can be found in the guide I linked.

Be advised though, that the wallet transactions API needs to be "walked" (backwards), because it doesn't necessarily provide you a complete month worth of data, as one query is restricted to return 2,560 entries. If you'er after more data, you need to "tell" the API where to start with returning data.

But before we dive deeper into this, let's first try if you're comfortable with both using the API and the XML as returned by a plain API call.
