EVE Metrics

EVE Metrics - Visit EVE Metrics - Other Websites

EVE Metrics was a market aggregation and statistics before its closure in January of 2011.

Originally inspired by EVE Central, it provided highly accurate metrics on the market via a fast, efficient interface.

Market and Data

EVE Metrics provided statistics functionality over the whole market, including historic information, regionally split statistics and more.

The data for the market analysis was generated by users running the EVE Metrics Uploader, which scrapes the EVE cache files which are written whenever an item is viewed in the market. By accessing this data directly, fake market logs which pollute other market websites are not as much of a problem, as the uploader includes verification hashes and other security mechanisms to hinder fake log uploading, combined with filters on the server to detect such logs. Uploader users would generate a higher amount of data per user due to its ease of use.

The latest version of the site included both inferred and API-driven transaction (trade) detection, giving users even more information about the state of individual markets.

API Services

The site also provided APIs for developers working with the market via XML. The data includes market orders, item statistics (including average price, skew, kurtosis, variance and other metrics weighted by quantity and filtered for robustness), and item history data.

EVE API Support

The 2.1 version of EVE Metrics introduced EVE Online API support to the site, including trade and market order loading as well as wallet loading, which allowed for 100% accurate data from the API to be combined with existing upload data.

Closure

In January of 2011 the MMMetrics team announced its closure of key projects: EVE Metrics, ISKsense, and accVIEW, whilst also pulling out of any third party support projects.

At this time the projects future is clouded. In its closure announcement to the Community, Developers advised that they still have server data condensed and on hand. However it has been suggested that if a community member feels so passionate as to attempt to kick start the project, it is best to do it from scratch.
