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 achieve 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.

NB: This application is of no use with a Console game account. We now test against, and package with Python 3.9.9. As a consequence of this we no longer support Windows 7, due to .
As has become routine now, various anti-virus software are reporting a false positive on our installer and/or files it contains. I've pre-emptively uploaded the installer to if you want to check what it's saying. Please see our for further information.
This release fixes one bug and fixes some example code.
Odyssey changed the order of some Journal events. This caused our logic for tracking the following to break, and thus not report them ever to Inara:
- Ship Combat, Trade and Exploration ranks.
- On-foot Combat and Exobiologist ranks.
- Engineer unlocks and progress.
- Reputations with Major Factions (Superpowers).
- This is now fixed and the current state of all of these will be correctly reported to Inara if you have API access for it configured.

Now built using Python 3.9.9.
Updated to state that we don't actually include all of Python's standard library.
The example plugin code has been corrected to both actually work fully, and pass our linting.
