I was getting some of my API data from here. Seems like it is down.

Any suggestion as to where i can get daily Jita volume from? Cheers!

- Fly to Jita 4-4

- Equip T2 Notepad and T3 Pencil

- Open up market screen, and select 'show all'

- Begin noting down the quantities of any and/or all items (delete as appropriate)

- ???

- Proft!

You used to be able to get it from the evemarketdata api...

I think he is pointing you to the old way of gathering data, yes it is a PITA (data entry sucks).

Eve-marketdata has been miles out on the data for a while anyway. CREST is the best way to go if you can get it implemented.

I've just spend hours reading up on alternatives, including crest. Everything seems so complicated. I just want to get the daily volume for a given item into google sheets. Is the information in this string? If so, I could learn how to parse it out...

https://public-crest.eveonline.com/market/10000002/types/34/history/

Unfortunately, I don't think that what I need is there. Volume is the amount of orders, not the about of items sold per day.

Is there no easy way of doing this?

I appreciate the help!

Are you sure about that volume bit?

10705199830 seems a touch high for the number of orders.

eve-central is the one I use when eve-marketdata is down, and it is so regularly "down".

The reason it is down, and that you feel other know something you don't know is that it is down because it is overloaded.

Once a program (or website) reaches a quota of calls to the CREST API, it cannot function.

One way to prevent or deal with this overload is to charge money or other requirement for the info.

Of course that is far from the solution and will only create delays into implementing the solution.

The solution to the CREST API overload problem lies in the calculation of the data requirements and the control of the data transfer based on the best criteria possible to therefore avoid this function shut down due to overload.

In other words, one cannot expect to get tons of updates per minutes on the EVE Universe (Inter-Region) without overloading data.
There may be a way to trim down the data by specifying specific fields to lessen the load of indexed fields, however, the field data may still be over the quota.

etc...

Thanks for this. Numbers seem a bit off to those now on eve-marketdata. They get 8,557,423,161, but this may be because they compile an average.

Your LoadAllVolumes function seems to have an error on line 16. It may just be me.

Either way, thank you very much.
