# EVEMarketer Marketstat API

The EVEMarketer Marketstat API returns aggregated market statistics for items in the game EVE Online. You pass one or more type ids and, optionally, a region or solar system, and it responds with buy and sell aggregates such as volume, average, minimum, maximum, and median prices. Results are available in XML or JSON, and no account is required.

## For AI agents

Query aggregated EVE Online market statistics by item type id, optionally scoped to a region or system, returning buy and sell volume, average, min, max, and median prices in XML or JSON.

## Scope

Covers aggregated EVE Online market statistics only. Does not place market orders, read character assets, or cover other EVE Online game data.

## Capabilities

- Get buy and sell market aggregates for an item type id
- Request statistics for many type ids at once
- Scope statistics to a region or solar system
- Read volume, average, min, max, and median prices
- Receive results as XML or JSON

## Use cases

### AI Agent Market Price Lookup

An AI agent can answer questions about EVE Online item prices by passing a type id and reading the buy and sell aggregates. Through Jentic the agent finds the marketstat operation by intent and supplies the type ids, so a trading assistant can report current prices without a developer wiring the endpoint by hand.

Example prompt: Fetch market statistics for a type id and return its average buy and sell prices

### Trading Opportunity Scanner

A trading agent can compare buy and sell aggregates across regions to surface profitable trades. The API returns per-region statistics for many type ids at once, so an agent can scan a list of items and flag those with a wide spread between buy and sell prices.

Example prompt: Request statistics for several type ids in a region and return the items with the largest buy-sell spread

### Price Monitoring Dashboard

A reporting agent can feed a dashboard with periodic market snapshots. Because the API returns median and average prices with volume, an agent can record readings over time and highlight items whose prices moved sharply since the last run.

Example prompt: Pull median prices for a watchlist of type ids and report which moved most since the previous snapshot

## Key resources

- **Marketstat (XML)** — Aggregated buy and sell statistics for one or more type ids as XML

- **Region and System Scope** — Optional region or solar system filter applied to the aggregates

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** The EVEMarketer Marketstat API needs no account or key, but you still have to map its query operations and handle XML or JSON responses. Through Jentic you install once, import the API from the Directory, and your agent calls it with the right parameters immediately.
- **Permission scoping:** You choose which EVEMarketer operations the agent may call. Since every operation is a read-only market query, a rule can allow just the marketstat lookups you approve, so the agent stays within the exact set of queries you picked.
- **Credential handling:** EVEMarketer needs no API key, so there is nothing sensitive to manage. Jentic still runs every call under your own instance and logs it, giving you a record of what the agent queried even though no secret is involved.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get market statistics for an item', and Jentic returns the matching EVEMarketer operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint with valid type ids.

## FAQ

### Is there an EVEMarketer MCP server?

You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the EVEMarketer Marketstat API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it and your agent can query EVE Online market statistics, with no API key required. Operations are discovered on demand, so no extra tool definitions sit in the agent's context.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the EVEMarketer Marketstat API?

Yes. Every operation is a read-only market query, so you write a rule that allows only the marketstat lookups you need. The agent cannot reach any operation you did not pick, and every call it makes through your own instance is logged.

### Does the EVEMarketer Marketstat API need authentication?

No. The EVEMarketer Marketstat API requires no authentication and no account per its OpenAPI spec, so there is no key to manage. Through Jentic the agent simply calls the operation, and every request is still logged by your own instance.

### Can my agent get prices for several EVE items at once with the EVEMarketer Marketstat API?

Yes. You can pass multiple type ids in a single request, and the API returns buy and sell aggregates for each. An agent can also scope the query to a region or solar system to get location-specific prices.

### What are the rate limits for the EVEMarketer Marketstat API?

The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits. Check the EVEMarketer documentation at https://evemarketer.com for current usage guidance, and batch multiple type ids into one request to reduce call volume.

### How do I query EVE Online market prices through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'get EVE Online market statistics', import the operation, and since no key is required your agent can query prices right away. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
