Hi!

Are you currently using the quicklook API (the one that returns all the market orders) on api.eve-central.com?

If so, CCP has official support for market orders (and has for quite some time), and this particular APIs is pretty heavyweight on EVE-Central's bandwidth usage. I would like to sunset the quicklook API (and only the quicklook API call, I'm expanding the marketstat API) by end of January 2017, there are better alternatives for up to date market orders from CCP directly. The bulk of calls to this endpoint come from Python and Go applications, which can easily switch to either market interface (i.e., https://github.com/evecentral/esiapi )

If you can't use either CREST or ESI market endpoints, please let me know so I can possibly make alternative arrangements to keep your system working.

Yes, I am using it.

The reason being that it can be used to provide correct # of items being currently sold in a system.

I would like to use marketstat to get that information, but unfortunately the information provided by marketstat
ie. sell - volume gives worse/incorrect results.

Ok, good to know. Accurate volumes from orders sounds like a thing that can be solved :)

Hi,

Are you planning to make the volume info from marketstat show reliable data?
