What Is Elite Dangerous Market Connector?

Elite Dangerous Market Connector ("EDMC") is a third-party application for use with Frontier Developments' game "Elite Dangerous". Its purpose is to facilitate supplying certain game data to, and in some cases retrieving it from, a number of websites and other tools.

To do this it utilises the Journal Files written by the game when played on a PC. It also makes use of Frontier's Companion API ("Frontier's CAPI"), accessible once you've authorised this application.

EDMC has a plugin system which many other developers have made use of to extend its functionality.

Find out more on the EDMC Wiki.

NB: This application is of no use with a Console game account, nor will it run on Windows 7.

Release 5.1.0

• Updates to how this application utilises the Inara.cz API.

1. The current state of your ShipLockerMaterials (MicroResources for Odyssey Suit and handheld Weapons upgrading and engineering) will now be sent. Note that we can't reliably track this on the fly, so it will only update when we see a full ShipLockerMaterials Journal event, such as at login or when you disembark from any vehicle.
2. Odyssey Suits and their Loadouts will now be sent.
3. When you land on a body surface, be that in your own ship, in a Taxi, or in a Dropship. Depending on the exact scenario a Station might be sent along with this.

• You can now both edit the 'normal' and 'beta' coriolis.io URLs, and choose which of them are used. 'Auto' means allowing the application to use the normal one when you're running the live game, or the beta version if running a beta version of the game.
• Suit names will now be displayed correctly when we have pulled the data from the Frontier CAPI, rather than Journal entries.
• Many translations updated once more, especially for new strings. Thanks as always to those contributing!

Bug Fixes

• Don't assume we have an EDSM Commander Name and/or API key just because we know a game Commander name. This came to light during the investigation of "EDSM Plugin sent wrong credit balance when switching accounts". We're still investigating that bug report.
