I'm in the same position. I had just finished my market app late at night, and when I woke up the next day I found that they had vanished and I had to rewrite the whole thing for CREST instead.
There's even a (not surprisingly very empty) thread just below this one where CCP said they would announce breaking changes to the API. Deleting several endpoints seems like a breaking change to me.

Is there a changelog? What happened to the endpoints?

But not a peep about deleting Market endpoint. I need that endpoint! :(

Not cool that they suggested the other two API methods, xml and CREST might be going away in a year.

I noticed that the market end point disappeared on Friday(or Thursday?) and reappeared later that day and then disappeared again on Saturday. I did notice as I was testing Saturday I started to get more and more errors so maybe it's just being switched off for technical issues. Would be great to have it noted somewhere to keep everyone updated.

Unfortunately the swagger thread is thread locked. So no way to know when or if they are getting closer to getting it to work. But it's hard for me to write semantic algorithms when there's no pattern to properly import the data from. I'm a huge fan of json, so that probably aggrivates me even more because I don't want to touch xml.

To be fair, I know where incredibly lucky that CCP even considers 3rd party developers this way. There are lots of games that don't have the most basic of interfaces.

Edit: It looks like the market endpoint is available, and has been for the past 12 hours. Awesome!

My questions are, what is the best library to make api requests, what's the best library to parse the data and what documentation do I need to learn to get good?

Create a new topic on the forums and I will be glad to help you. This thread is for announcements regarding ESI

A list of what jEveAssets needs to move to ESI:

Need both character and corporation APIs:
-Account Balance
-Assets
-Contracts + ContractsItems
-Industry Jobs
-Journal
-Market Orders
-Transactions

Others APIs:
-Resolve locationIDs not in the SDE (Conquerable Stations and Citadels)
-Detect if items is a blueprint copy or original: Assets/Contracts/Industry Jobs (Market orders is not needed unless it become possible to sell blueprint copies via the market)
-Resolve characterIDs and corporationIDs to names
-Get in-game names of containers and ships

EDIT:
Wishlist:
-Assets in customs offices and on planets

Hmm, Market APIs have just disappeared again -- from Legacy, Latest and Dev. They were here in the last hour or two.

EDIT: Back in the APIs list and no longer returning 404s :-) (1:21am Eve).

Go to Github at the link below and submit an issue which is also a request. I doubt it will be created though. That sounds link a perfect project for a Third party though.
