is it possible to get live market information from a specific region with API or is that too demanding.

for instance if I had a character online in a region so I can use the information of that Region's Market to help me make decisions so I can have all that information in one program.

so if I have multiple accounts online I can use their API give me the information of those markets with the characters I currently have online.

I hope this makes sense to everybody

With the XML api no.

With CREST yes.

How much you can do with that data depends on your programming experience, as just looking thru the raw data is not too useful.

Can look thru this link to see all of the market endpoints that CREST has and see if you can find one that will be what you want. My vote is you would be interested in the bulk endpoint, as it will return every order in a give region. However it is a lot of data so will need to process it smart or use a different method.

You can't get _live_ information.

You can get information which has a cache timer of 5 minutes (so it's up to 5 minutes old), which is pretty close to live.

That's how I'm populating https://market.fuzzwork.co.uk (up to about 40 minutes old. I refresh it every 30 minutes, and it takes about 8-10 minutes to process at my end)

https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/market/viewer/ will let you see the market with the 5 minute timer.

Woo! CSM XI!
