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).

- http://eddb.io/
- Creator: Paul Heisig aka themroc
- "EDDB is a site about systems, stations, commodities and trade routes in Elite: Dangerous."
- EDDB had a very nice web interface to edit star systems and stations data. Market data updates (commodity prices) were taken instantly from EDDN to allow single and multi-hop trade route searches.
- EDDB drew most of its system data directly from EDSM, but players could manually submit data about stations, commodity values, astronomical objects, and minor faction activity via ROSS.
- EDDB also took data from maddavo's database once every night.
- EDDB made a dump of systems/stations data in a JSON file every 24 hours, which allows other apps to use that data.
- nightly JSON dumps : http://eddb.io/api
