Elite Dangerous Market Connector ("EDMC") is a third-party application for use with Frontier Developments' game "Elite Dangerous". Its purpose is to facilitate supplying certain game data to, and in some cases retrieving it from, a number of websites and other tools. To do this it utilises the Journal Files written by the game when played on a PC. It also makes use of Frontier's Companion API, accessible once you've authorised this application.

This app downloads your Cmdr's details and system, faction, scan and station data from the game Elite: Dangerous and, at your choice, sends that data to various third-party sites.  This is both for your own direct benefit, and to aid the community in having more data.
