Seems like many of my apps stopped working. CCP stopped the APIs for CREST and XML. https://developers.eveonline.com/blog/article/a-eulogy-for-xml-crest

Now we have to switch to ESI. Hope that solves this problem. Again thanks for your work!

This is the best trading tool, and it's not just me that says it, all my corp mates that doing trading agree with me. Now we are on Mogul, but no one like it. We hope that someone help the author to migrate to ESI. Unfortunatly no one in my corp is a programmer.

Thanks for all the work done so far!

Thanks for the appreciation. Unfortunately the 3 main issues with me porting everything to esi are:

lack of time
hosting it is becomming more and and more expensive as the database grows quickly and requires lots of space for operation/backups.
there isn't a 100% equivalency between esi and old xml/crest (or at least there wasn't when I started porting it). This means some features have to be removed and the authentication flow needs to be redone as well.

I have started doing it some time back (queries branch), and the data update part is almost done but there are so many things that need a rewrite that I don't know when I might end. It's really a lot of work/testing for a side project.

happy to see that the project is not abandoned! I suggest you to write some lines on ETMv2 homepage because many user think is dead because the last news is from 9 april.

Furthermore, add some "anti-ad-blocker" or a big message that alert users to turn off ad-blocker. In my opinion, 60-70% of ETMv2 users have a ad-blocker and you do not earn money. Me too use ad-blocker, but it's disabled for ETMv2 website.

I just wanted to second what H4Z4RD-H42 wrote about this being the best trading tool. I also have been looking into what the conversion might take, and while not currently a programmer, I did some digging into the new API vs the old ones and found a couple reference documents that may help:

I am one of the aforementioned 60-70% of ETMv2 users with an ad-blocker but I did turn it off for ETMv2. I was about to send a donation via the link on your page just now, but the site seems to be timing out at the moment. Hopefully that's a temporary issue and I can send you some funds a bit later?
