OK, true, indeed Bob actual references the name of the feature. But to begin with, naming a feature "awesome something" from the side of Mozilla foundation, while it's actually a copy of a feature implemented first on another browser is simply unfortunate.

And this is the only think where Chrome fails (from my POV) but then again that's what makes FF a slow browser to work with.

It shouldn't be lower, it can't be lower afaik.
It's just a mysql table with columns for day, week, month etc., I increment all columns with 1 at every upload.
To reset, I run a cron job every day, week month etc, and set the relevant column to 0

There is a new menu item called Market Groups, it opens a page where you can search for a market group to display.
You can also dubble-click a market group on the left hand menu.


Thanks. Now for the next request:

Update the browser title so it says "Eve Addicts - Market Group - Minerals ID 18" and update the URL line so that Firefox can easily find that page using its "awesome bar" search. With the EMK site, I could just type "group min" into the address bar and it would pull up the EMK's summary page for the market group.

The items on the market group page should be linked so that we can go to the item detail page.

I still prefer the EMK page because I could see all (4) major market hub prices at a glance for an entire group of items, which made it easier to go shopping for things like bulk minerals / datacores where I wanted it now, at the cheapest sell price and didn't have time to babysit buy orders. Or if I had a bunch of product - I could quickly see which of the four market hubs had the best sell prices and then ship that product to that hub for selling.

Thanks for adding the 5% number. Any ETA on adding that to the API?

You can see the prices of the 4 main hubs in 1 view, just set the region filter at the right of the screen to: -- Trade Hubs --

I'm working on a second API price page with more detailed info.
Are people actually using median prices for something? Some sites include those, but i don't really see the point.

I'll have a look at the title stuff, shouldn't be too hard.

Main things I use APIs for:

- How much my inputs are going to cost me. So the lowest 5% sell or the sell/percentile price is important. I don't base input costs on buy order values.

- What I can sell my outputs for (either to a buy order or as sell orders), again this is generally the 5% sell or sell/percentile value. If I want to sell my stuff quickly, I need to be in the bottom 5% of the total orders, not chasing some imaginary average value up in the middle of the pack.

- Figuring out if there's a possible trade opportunity across a regional boundary. In which case I'm looking at the top buy orders compared to the low-end of sells in the other region.

- Estimating what my stockpiles and assets are worth. Ideally done with either an average of the 5% sell prices in the top N market hubs, or as a 5% sell aggregate of the main market hubs.

Hi,

is there a API call like the "quicklook" from eve-central to actually get the buy/sell orders in XML format?

Thx Andy

The API can now display 5% buy/sell prices. You have to append '&detailed=true' to the url. It does not work in combination with 'getAll'.

Nope, i'm not planning on adding anything like it, at least for the time being.

I don't know if I don't understand your API correct or it's an error, but the following API request fail:
http://eve.addicts.nl/api/prices.php?detailed=true&typeID=34&stationID=60003760

On a side note: I'm going to implement this in jEveAssets...
Thank you for yet another great price data source! :)

Looks like 5% buy/sell works only when querying region.

That is a bug...

Should be fixed now.

Another irregularity:
http://eve.addicts.nl/api/prices.php?typeID=3898&detailed=true
I would expect buy_price and sell_price to have the value 0.0

It's not super important - just a minor issue... :)

For the record it's the typeID for "Quafe Zero"

You are doing the right thing.

Item input suggest does not prefer neither prefix match nor full match so it's impossible to input "Morphite" (many different Hemorphite-s show up).

Contact me temotor@gmail.com if you need developer help.

You are right, that's a bit annoying. Fixed it.
