Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look at that integration.
And unfortunately no, we do not plan to accept contributions at this time, but thanks for the interest!
We will be updating the tools' data using https://github.com/EtienneLamoureux/sc-trade-companion going forward. That application is open-source.
UEX API has been added as a data point
UEX Corp provides an API for getting price data. Anecdotally, it has always been more up-to-date than sc-trade-tools. It would be great if sc-trade-tools used this data.
You would probably want to cache the data. You shouldn't need to get too fancy, since UEX provides an endpoint that has all buy/sell data for all trade ports at once (https://portal.uexcorp.space/api/tradeports). Fetch all the price data from all locations at once on a batch job every 24 hours, and simply cache that result until the next batch job.
On a related note, I'd love to help out on this project. Any plans to make it open-source and allow pull requests?
