EVE Online Market Tool

Find profitable ISK in EVE Online's player economy — station-trading spreads, inter-hub arbitrage, NPC-buy arbitrage, and deep per-item market data — ranked and returned as clean JSON.

EVE's market is one of the deepest player-driven economies in gaming, but spotting where the ISK actually is means crunching order books across multiple trade hubs. This API does the scanning for you: it reads live market data from the major hubs (Jita, Amarr, …), computes the profitable opportunities with margins, ROI, and estimated daily profit, and ranks them — so your tool, bot, or dashboard surfaces the best trades instantly.

Endpoints

Endpoint	What it returns
`GET /scan/trading`	Station-trading flips (buy low / sell high inside one hub). Returns the `hub`, a `count`, and an `opportunities` array — each item with `typeId`, `name`, `buyPrice`, `sellPrice`, `margin`, `profit`, `roi`, `avgVolume`, `avgPrice`, `avgOrders`, `dailyUnits`, and `estDailyProfit`.
`GET /scan/arbitrage`	Inter-hub arbitrage (buy in one hub, sell in another). Returns `from_hub`, `to_hub`, `count`, and `opportunities` — each with `typeId`, `name`, `buyPrice`, `sellPrice`, `margin`, `profit`, `avgVolume`, `dailyUnits`, `estDailyProfit`.
`GET /scan/npc-arbitrage`	Buy-from-NPC, sell-to-hub opportunities. Returns the source `regions`, the `sell_hub`, `count`, and `opportunities` — each with `typeId`, `name`, `npcPrice`, `hubSell`, `margin`, `profit`, `npcRegion`, `npcQty`, and `locationId`.
`GET /analyze/{item}`	Deep market detail for one item by name (e.g. `/analyze/Tritanium`). Returns `name`, `typeId`, `hub`, `bestBuy`, `bestSell`, `spread`, `avgPrice`, `avgVolume`, `minPrice30d`, `maxPrice30d`, `priceTrend`, and `topBuys` / `topSells` order-book depth (`price`, `volume`, `location`).

Why this API

The analysis is already done. You get ranked, profit-bearing opportunities with margin, roi, and estDailyProfit — not raw order books you have to model yourself.
Three trading strategies, three endpoints. Station flipping, hub-to-hub hauling arbitrage, and NPC arbitrage each have a dedicated call.
Lookup by item name. Query any item (/analyze/Tritanium) and get its typeId, best prices, 30-day range, trend, and order-book depth — no memorizing EVE's numeric type IDs.
Drop-in JSON. Lightweight, consistent fields designed for trading tools, Discord bots, spreadsheets, and market dashboards.

Typical use cases

Power a station-trading or hauling assistant that surfaces the best ISK/hour opportunities.
Run a Discord/Slack bot that posts daily arbitrage and NPC-arbitrage picks.
Track spreads, 30-day ranges, and price trends on key commodities like Tritanium.
Feed market routes and margins into industrial/trading corporation tooling.

Good to know

Opportunities are a live snapshot at scan time; EVE's market moves constantly, so treat results as point-in-time.
/analyze/{item} expects an item name and resolves it to EVE's typeId for you; location IDs in the order book are EVE station/structure IDs.
Profitability is the spread, not the guarantee. Figures reflect current orders and historical avgVolume; your realized profit still depends on fill rates and your own logistics (taxes, broker/sales fees, hauling time and risk). High-margin, low-avgVolume items can be thin — check the volume before committing capital.
