Ltd Market

This is a pretty simple python script that reads your Cargo.json file and extracts data from inara.cz and applies an algorithm to inform you of the top 5 five places to go sell your hard-earned commodities in Elite Dangerous. In the assets below there is LtdMarket.exe which is just LtdMarket.py (found in this repository) compiled into one file using PyInstaller.

When you first start it up it should go to work immediately producing this:

If this window closes immediately it is probably an issue regarding PyInstaller or BeautifulSoup not running correctly or if you have not run elite dangerous before on your computer.

The software works by pinging Inara for the current prices of LTDs and scan how many units of LTDs you are carrying in your hold at the time based on your Cargo.json. It then applies that data to an approximate formula (this means it is an estimate) developed by NeoTron (see code for credit) to find the top five systems to sell at and displays the estimated price per ton you will receive.

Pressing enter will cause it to recheck your cargo hold and Inara in order to recalculate the best stations to sell at. Closing the window will stop it entirely.

If you don't trust the .exe don't fret, just download Python 3.7, use pip to install the dependencies, and copy-paste the code over and it will run exactly the same way.

NOTE:
This version is still functional, but the "Last Updated" tab no longer works due to a change in Inara's we page.
