Score. I was hoping this would rear its head sooner rather than later. Keep up the good work!

I don't know what to think of this

i always liked the fact that only those who invested time knew about the opportunities in the less popular regions.

now it's anyone with advanced coding knowledge or a tool made by someone else :(

Is this still cached every 24 hours? I think EVE-Central still has the advantage there

sure, but eve-central never really had a good and reliable dataset even for the most important items. it was always lacking and that was a good thing.

Why do we pass type as uri to markettypes crest instead of just adding /type/1245 at the end of uri?

This is pretty awesome, but I am confused why this data is being released. I thought Foxfour et al were opposed to making pubic any data sets that might negatively impact current gameplay styles? For instance, Foxfour et al decided not to make all killmails public, partly because some players, apparently, liked to prevent some of their kills/losses from reaching public boards.

I'm with Gilbaron: I don't like it at all.

eve-central gives a good overview of how current prices generally are, number of orders, etc but not much more. Unless you're in a market hub region, the data is often outdated and you can't blindly rely on it. Even in market hub regions, less traded items don't have near realtime data available. There is always the element of uncertainty and you can often look through the market in less visited regions and find something nice and cheap that nobody else has seen so far. This will be a thing of the past.

Even with order data only available to authed CREST users with a certain rate limit: what's stopping them from just piping the data through to the EVE Market Data Relay network? It will be available to everybody in realtime and it will only take a certain number of people to cover the whole market in all regions, depending on how the rate limit will look like.

As is customary for all devblogs containing a significant boon to the community, I must ask for more — could the initial volume of the order in question be exposed?

For example, I start a buy order for 20 good posts, and then, shockingly, someone is able to sell me a good post. They are very rare indeed. My order then goes to 19/20 good posts. However, the gist doesn't have a property for the initial order volume of 20.
