Heyah guys,

I hope this is the right location to post this, if not, my apologies.

I'm currently working on setting up a spreadsheet to pull prices from jita so we can estimate how much to pay mining ops automatically (we're doing 20% below jita value)

But for some reason I think its timing out when it tries to pull the data, here is an example of the line for veldspar:

=importXML("http://api.eve-central.com/api/marketstat? typeid=1230&usesystem=30000142","/evec_api/marketstat/type/buy/max")

90% of the time it works, but then randomly it throws a #value code saying the url is not responding.

So I'm wondering if im simply trying to do to much (pulling all possible ore from the api) or if there is possibly another more reliable source I can use.

Thanks guys!

Well, since you are asking for an alternative source... have a look at my site.

Example for all Veldspar ores:
