Hey guys,

I thought I would share out something I have been working on over the last few days. I built a python terminal based app that will monitor Eve-Central prices and notify you via Twitter if requested thresholds have been passed.

For example:
You can set the app to monitor Nocxium Buy orders and notify you if the maximum buy order surpasses 950 isk/unit.
Conversely, you can also monitor the sell orders and notify you if the sell minimum goes below 850 isk/unit.

Currently, it is only written to monitor Jita in the Forge, however I have plans to expand this out to all systems and regions.

Also, the market data retrieved is only as accurate as Eve-Central, so data may or may not be out of date. From my experiments over the last day or so, most items in Jita have a lag time of around 5-30 minutes.

Requirements:

Python 2.x
Twitter Account
Ability to set up your own Twitter API key (Which can be done here).

Try it out and let me know what you think / is it useful. I'm not a programmer by trade, so this project was a learning experience for me. If you really like, feel free to kick me an isk donation to keep me developing this thing.

Current Version: v.02a - 4/11/2012
