Discord MarketBot for EVE Online

General information

The purpose of this bot is to get fast information on the EVE Online market for specific items and in specific regions.

It uses a combination of data from Evepraisal and the EVE Swagger Interface provided by CCP.

Usage

Add this bot to your Discord server! or alternatively you can try it out first on my dev server.

Bot commands

Commands can be found on the MarketBot website’s commands page.

Discord permissions

Required permissions can be found on the MarketBot website’s permissions page.

Logging

This bot keeps records of issued commands, this data is used to monitor performance, usage and accuracy of the bot.

What information does it save?

• The channel in which the command was issued.
  • For counting how many unique channels/servers this bot is active in.
• The username and id of the user who issued a command to the bot.
  • This helps me count how many unique channels the bot is active in, because the above logging does not include Direct Message channels
• The item-parameter of the command and the item the bot did the search for.
  • For monitoring the accuracy of the bot’s guessing system and tracking which items are most often searched for. This data will allow me to build shortcuts in the guessing system to improve performance.
• The region-parameter of the command and the region the bot did the search for.
  • For counting which regions are most often selected to search in. I have a feeling it’ll be The Forge, but with this data I can build new functionality that can search a select few regions at the same time to get you the best item price. It is impractical to have this feature search all regions in New Eden.

Feature requests

Please open an issue if you have any feature ideas for this bot or are missing any functionality.

Alternatively you can contact me in EVE Online: Ionaru Otsada, or on Discord: @ionaru.

Self-hosting

It is possible to self-host this bot. It requires Docker with the Compose v2 plugin, and images are published to ghcr.io/ionaru/marketbot.

The instructions used to live here and had drifted out of date. They are now kept in one place, in the repository’s README, alongside the Compose file they describe.

Contact me in EVE Online: Ionaru Otsada or on Discord: @ionaru if you need any assistance.

To-Do & Ideas

• Support for searches in Jita, Amarr & other trade hubs

• Darker graphs to better match Discord colors
• More information in price command output (low/high)
