A simple E:D Market Connector plugin to automatically collect data for EDAstro.com that cannot be sourced from major databases such as Spansh and EDDN.

Sensitive Data

The EDAstro API requests certain potentially sensitive events: CarrierStatus and CarrierJumpRequest. Since not everyone may want to submit this data, these particular events are opt-in.

Note, however, that this plugin sanitizes data from these events and is limited to:

  • Callsign
  • Name
  • ID
  • Current / target system
  • Access flags
  • Fuel level

Please Note

This plugin largely replicates the EDAstro functionality in EDDiscovery. You do not  need this if you already report data via EDD. This is essentially a lightweight alternative, or for those already submitting data via EDMC.

Credits

This code is derived from the original ATEL-EDMC plugin with the IGAU components stripped out. As this is no longer maintained and there is still a community need to submit relevant data to EDAstro, I have revived that portion of the plugin.
