Hello o7

I wanted to get my hands dirty with some AWS services so I made this "intelligent personal assistant" like Siri or Cortana. This is all built on the cloud using CCP's new ESI API and some CREST endpoints. What is Eura? Maybe a list of Q&A should be easier on the eyes than a blob of text!

  • How can Eura help me?
    • Eura sends you a report of loyalty store items with highest ISK per LP either by sell or buy orders for a NPC corp you specify.

  • How can I use Eura?
    • See Eura's bio: https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/Eura
    Example: Get Caldari FW State Protectorate loyalty store report by sell orders
    Send an eve mail to Eura with the following subject line
    lp sprot sell

  • What is included in the report?
    • Eura sends the top 20 items sorted by ISK/LP either by sell or buy orders. Values in the report don't necessarily mean they are the best items to exchange, however Eura tries to report other indicators to help you make a decision.

  • Accuracy of calculations?
    • The report excludes blueprints and items on very low demand (high stock & little or no sale in the last week). The report is updated hourly but can contain market values ranging from 1 minute fresh up to 24 hours old.

  • How quickly will Eura respond?
    • Eura takes up to 1 minute usually sooner.

  • Bot?
    • Well it is more like Siri or Cortana, an "intelligent personal assistant". Eura isn't that intelligent actually, it simply responds back to specific commands. Can we make her smarter? Yes! natural language can be interesting. The word "bot" actually freaks out people, they think Eura is farming ISK or automating stuff in game.

  • Does Eura automate anything in game?
    • No, Eura uses EVE official APIs only running on AWS Cloud. Eura doesn't in any way interact with the EVE client or the EVE game play servers. Eura even works without the character being logged in. If you see Eura logged in, that is probably just me.. the developer mostly a human, sometimes a zombie when I work late.

  • Is it free?
    • Yes

  • Can anyone use Eura?
    • Yes, but Eura won't send you back if you have CSPA charge more than zero or you are blocking unknown characters.

  • Can I access Eura through a website?
    • Nope, maybe later on.

  • I found a bug or I think results are inaccurate?
    • Feel to report it here or send my main Tanbouz an eve mail. You could send Eura an EVE mail but she does clean her mailbox automatically so your mail might be deleted.

  • Can you let Eura send me automatically?
    • No, even though it is possible. Eura will remain a response only assistant. It will NOT send automatic or mass mail to players. If you think Eura is sending you by mistake, please report it as a bug. Nobody likes spam... we are here to enjoy playing a game.

  • Will you add more services other than loyalty store calculations?
    • Open for suggestions!

  • Why did you build it?
    • To learn some AWS services, explore the rich EVE API and have fun!

  • How does Eura work?
    • Eura is built on AWS Cloud using a serverless architecture. Eura uses a combination of AWS Lambda (NodeJS), S3 and DynamoDB. Values are updated over time to avoid overflowing EVE API with requests.


I appreciate feedback, suggestions and bug reports.

I would like to thank EVE dev community for the tools they built to inspire me to do something myself and CCP for allowing community access to the APIs.
