Greetings all.

I searched for this, so apologies if it's been covered before. I'm a bit new to this RESTful API gig

Using the new bulk market feature:
https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/market/10000042/orders/all/

Is it possible to just pull the page number datapoint for a specific region?

I can parse out the info from this call as is; but it is costly. I want to find a way to get just the datapoint i need (Number of pages) instead of the entire first page of results.


TL;DR: How to pull only the number of pages when querying an entire region for Market orders.

Why you want the page count?

If you trying to get specific item from data, add to the link "?type=http://crest-tq.eveonline.com/types/{typeID}/" (without the quotes)

Unfortunately that information is not available outside requesting the page of data. Sorry.

Thank you.

Just for example:
I noticed in the documentation, under "route" it had something like this: "regionID:regionIdType" But I was never quite sure what was meant by a type in this particular case. I will look into this today.

To answer your question. I wanted to query just the page count in order to update my UI with a status. I found an acceptable way to do this inline with my data pull. Result looks something like this:

Branch: Starting thread...
Cache: Starting thread...
Catch: Starting thread...
Domain: Starting thread...
Cache: Getting Data (1 of 1)
Cache: Import Complete!
Catch: Getting Data (1 of 3)
Domain: Getting Data (1 of 22)
Branch: Getting Data (1 of 2)
Catch: Getting Data (2 of 3)
Branch: Getting Data (2 of 2)
Branch: Import Complete!
Domain: Getting Data (2 of 22)
Catch: Getting Data (3 of 3)
Catch: Import Complete!

Thanks again for your help!

Thank you for Responding. I seem to have found a way to make it all work as is. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on a better way.
