## What it is
Elite: Dangerous Market Connector (EDMC) is a desktop application that reads Elite Dangerous journal files and Frontier's Companion API to capture station market and other in-game data. It feeds that data to third-party trading tools and sites, and is extensible via plugins.

## Use cases
- export elite dangerous commodity market data to trading tools
- upload station data to eddn for third-party sites
- track my elite dangerous ship and cargo automatically
- sync elite dangerous journal data with inara or eddb alternatives
- write a plugin for elite dangerous market connector
- get elite dangerous market prices offline

## When to choose
- you play Elite Dangerous on PC and want your game data pushed to trading/community sites
- you need a plugin platform for extending Elite Dangerous tooling
- you want automated journal and Companion API data capture

## When to avoid
- you play on PS4 or Xbox, which the app does not support
- you need a headless server-side data pipeline rather than a desktop companion app
- you don't play Elite Dangerous at all
