A recent update reduced the transaction history available in game to 30 days.

Please allow us to view and search over a year's worth of our transactions.

Reducing the amount of transaction history available via the API impacts traders quite significantly, especially when it's unannounced. A lot of people do analysis on their transactions, the changes to the API restrict the data available to do so.

While many of us use third party tools to pull the API regularly, there are times when it's simply not feasible to do so.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Even six months would do. The current one month is simply plain bad.

The post, and the feature request, was about in-game / in-client functionality, not the EVE API.

The old forums site used to host a sidebar link to a transaction-download-as-CSV option.
With that, I used to be able to download the last 1000 wallet entries.
I don't know if this is still available... moved or buried somewhere.

Marketers really like pouring over Spreadsheets while floating In Space.
Please add (or restore?) features that would let us periodically export all available transaction data, without requiring external tools.

Yes. There was. The standings transaction history has been limited by the same thing when it used to stretch out for a year. This is an outright lie.

This thread and that thread are about the Wallet Market Transactions and the Wallet Journal (see, e.g., the mention of traders above). I was not replying to questions about Standings History, and stand by my earlier replies.

This is an outright reading comprehension failure.

To specifically address the Standings History, given the question: The retention policy on the Standings History is 90 days. The code returns the top 25 events. Therefore what you see in-client is 25 events or 90 days, whichever is less. That being said, talking to a DBA just now, the Standings Event table pruning was inactive for a long while, so you would always see 25 events, until 8 July 2013 when the pruning was properly configured.

I'd like to make a modification to this feature request.

Knowing that it will likely impact some data amounts, as this would mean more data being stored for accounts that become inactive, butI would like to see if it would be possible to keep at least 100 transactions in each log no matter how old they are. This would be nice for some wallets/journals that very rarely see updates but still contain valuable information.

So in essence, the time limits come into affect for any transaction after the first 100.

I would like this to be implemented for all logs, including standings, sec status, etc.

I often buy things that price crash then put them back up later. with 30 day history, its impossible to see if they have made money.

While I understand the ease and functionality that a longer transaction list would bring, I'm surprised to hear that market Mongols dont use the in game notepad app to keep a log of their transactions.
