Out-of-game Eve data access is provided by CCP through the [[EVE_Swagger_Interface]]. However, this access method is not convenient for casual use. Fortunately, third-party services have arisen to provide better access for the casual player. Eve Market data can be accessed through an API provided by [https://api.evemarketer.com/ec/ ~~Eve Marketeer~~]. This service replaces a previous service provided by the defunct Eve Central. ~~Eve Marketeer~~ API access methods are very similar to those used by Eve Central, but different enough that previous calls will not work. These API calls can be used in a spreadsheet (e.g., Google Sheets, Excel) to provide programmatic access to Market Data even for casual users.

== API Call construction ==

[https://api.evemarketer.com/ec/ ~~Eve Marketeer~~] provides an endpoint accepting POST or GET methods and returns data in either XML (/marketstat) or JSON (/marketstat/json) formats. The call requires a item identifier (typeID) and has optional parameters to limit data to either a system (usesystem) or a region (regionlimit). A single call can contain up to 200 different items. By default the data returned is XML and for all of Singularity. The following method describes how to use the GET access method. The GET call method produces a URL that can be directly entered into a web browser to provide data without any additional tools or knowledge. Users interested in the POST method, should be able to construct the request given the GET method construction.
