EVE General Discussion

I will apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section, or already answered. I've been googling for over an hour and im flustered and lost in a sea of MARKET data and trading spreadsheets.

What i want is in the same family of API i believe, but what i'm trying to do is instead of organizing market data and trading optimizations, i want to be able to import item data, including if it can be used by alphas and what skills are needed to use the item, so i can then use formulas to help me calculate the "best" loadout i can use with ship and equipment, and then the skills i need to train for it.

So my question is can anybody please direct me to an API for item database with attached information showing skills needed and if alphas can use it? Does it even exists?

I would really appreciate any help or advice you may be able to offer. :)




(for those who are going to ask "umm why bother??". Well I know I'm going to be an alpha forever, thats all im interested in. So i just want to optimize my time spent PLAYING. sure, in 191 days on average, i can max out every skill an alpha has access to and then wont need to worry about it anymore. But thats not how you play eve online. You optimize your down time and prioritize exactly what you want to train for a specific loadout you wish to use, which is what i want to do!)
