Third Party Tools

Third Party Tools are community-created tools that expand the functionality of Elite Dangerous.

Databases

* These are used by some of the apps listed at the bottom.

EDDN

• https://github.com/jamesremuscat/EDDN/wiki
• Creator: jamesremuscat <bugs@elite-markets.net>
• "The Elite: Dangerous Data Network is a system for willing Commanders to share dynamic data about the galaxy with others. By pooling data in a common format, tools and analyses can be produced that add an even greater depth and vibrancy to the in-game universe."
• EDDN is replacing EMDN (Elite Market Dump Network) by Andreas since FD changed their policy to disallow data scraping in Elite Dangerous (see details in the FD forums post).
• EDDN is used by a few apps and web sites to exchange commodity pricing information. It does not currently (2015-03-29) share data about systems and stations : landing pad sizes, distances, etc.
• EliteOCR and RegulatedNoise can both push data easily on EDDN while respecting current FD's policies (2015-03-29).
