Originally from dama.arishe@gmail.com but updated for the ESI API
The EVE Swagger Interface (ESI) is CCP's official API, providing a wealth of data about EVE's universe. For this analysis, key endpoints include:
- Market Orders: Regional buy and sell orders.
- Type IDs: Identifiers for planetary commodities.
- Market History (Optional): Price trends over time.
I used Google Apps Script to fetch live data from the ESI API, enabling dynamic updates of market data. Using the GESI add-on, which provides an EVE Online SSO flow to authorize your character(s), as well as a wrapper around ESI to access your EVE Online data within Google Sheets™; much like =importXML() worked with the old XML API.
- Jita 4-4: The universal trade hub, with unparalleled liquidity and item availability.
- Amarr: The second-largest hub, catering to empire-wide trade.
- Dodixie, Hek, Rens: Smaller hubs that offer niche trading opportunities.

Prices fluctuate based on regional production and demand. Mining-heavy regions may see lower buy prices, while mission-running hubs often feature higher sell prices.
