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).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." "The Elite: Dangerous Data Network is a system for willing Commanders to share dynamic data about the galaxy with others.EDDB makes a dump of systems/stations data in a JSON file every 24 hours, which allows other apps to use that data.EDDB also takes data from maddavo's database once every night.EDDB draws most of its system data directly from EDSM, but players can manually submit data about stations, commodity values, astronomical objects, and minor faction activity via ROSS.

Market data updates (commodity prices) are taken instantly from EDDN to allow single and multi-hop trade route searches.
