The rumors of our death were greatly exaggerated
Hello all,
After taking care of many IRL matters, I finally came back and enlisted the help of several people to get the site back up for the EVE community. With that, I am happy to say that the Deal Finder tool is once again operational. Deal finder allows you to look at a location on a region, system, or station level and compare it to Jita at some level of profit to see what you can move from that location to Jita and make a profit. This was always the most used tool back when EMD was fully operational so it only made sense to make this the first tool to bring back online.
We hope to bring other tools back up in the near future. In the meantime, if you know anyone who would like to have their hand in the project to help out, have them send an in-game mail to Suzee Sasen. Thanks to everyone for their continued support!

All call for back-end developers
Hello EMD users,
We are in need of back-end developers that are proficient in PHP, SQL, GoLang, and have a framework development mindset. If you’re interested, please contact Suzee Sasen in-game for details and to set up a chat.
My apologies for lack of communication as of late. I have been extremely busy. However, I now have things in order and will be recommitting time to the EMD project. Thank you for your continued support and patience.
New Beta Site (under construction)
Hello EMD users,
If anyone was attempting to get to eve-marketdata.com over the past couple of days, we encountered some hiccups when switching to a new beta site. It should be up now with basic functionality (market browsing, moon/pi, and market history charts).
Please eve-mail Suzee Sasen if your API calls to the site are breaking. Additionally, we are working on getting the tools up and running, so please be patient.
Developer all-call:
If you (or someone you know) is good with PHP and experience working with frameworks like Ruby on Rails, please also shoot me a mail, and you can help us improve the site while contributing to the community. We are also looking for a front-end developer with React experience, so message me if you want to help with UI overhaul and have a direct influence in the site’s future redesign!
Again, please be patient. This will take some time to get right as we all have this weird thing called real life that we need to work with. Thank you for your continued support.

Pushing for New Site Release
Hello EMD users,
We’re working hard to get the new beta site up and ready to allow traffic by the end of April. I ask for you to have patience while we continue to develop, and if you can support us through donations, we would greatly appreciate it.
If you have experience using Laravel and SQL, please drop us a line with Suzee Sasen in-game.
PHP dev wanted
Hello EMD users,
We’re looking for a PHP dev with experience using Laravel. Please e-mail evemarketdata2@gmail.com if you want to help out with the EMD website project. Compensation may be possible.
API Testing needed
Hello EMD users,
As we continue balancing our real lives with the website, we are in need of some API testers. If you have spreadsheets that already use our API and want to help us test some features, drop a line to Suzee Sasen in-game. Be prepared to share your spreadsheets with me and some high-level differences that you notice.
Financial note:
Donations have been slow and the site is still coming up short. If you could, please spare a few bucks to support the servers, as we now have multiple servers up as we develop in parallel. Thanks!

No love for EMD in February?
Hello EMD users,
So far for this month we have not received a single donation. Remember that the continuation of EMD is entirely up to you. Our server hosts unfortunately don’t accept payments in ISK, so please consider donating today to keep the website running by going here.
If you have any questions about the site or the current development status, feel free to shoot Suzee Sasen a mail in-game. Thank you for your continued support!

Historic Data Restored
Hello EMD users,
I am pleased to announce that we have implemented a solution to restore historic market data. Early analysis looks to be successful. Whether we keep historic data down the road however remains to be seen, as it takes up a massive amount of database space, which keeps our costs to maintain the site higher.
February Update
Hello EMD users,
Here’s an update for the month of January:
Development
- We’re noticing some bugs causing some orders to not appear on the front end. We’re working to rectify this.
- We’re working to make our API faster and more responsive to calls.
- We will soon begin making the database more lightweight, which will make the overall site quicker for all.
Overhead
- We missed our $100 goal last month by $20. Remember, this site runs off of donations from YOU. The server isn’t cheap due to how much data gets processed daily. Therefore, please consider making a donation going forward. Tell your friends too. We greatly appreciate every donation we get as it helps to keep the site running.
