About ISK Scout

What is ISK Scout?

ISK Scout is a free third-party tool for EVE Online traders. It scans the EVE market every 5 minutes through CCP's official ESI API and analyzes profitable arbitrage routes, courier contracts, reprocessing yields, and manufacturing margins — focused on what's actually executable, not just theoretical price differences. Unlike tools that compare median prices, ISK Scout simulates order matching across the full order book, excluding loss zones and surfacing routes you can realistically run.

Who built it?

Built and maintained by Intelli H, an active EVE Online player. Reach out for bug reports, feature requests, or general feedback at [email protected].

Where does the data come from?

All market data is fetched from CCP's official ESI API — the same data source CCP makes available to all third-party developers. Market orders refresh every 5 minutes (matching ESI's cache window). Route summaries, courier analyses, reprocessing, and manufacturing calculations are precomputed every 5 minutes and served from cache, so page loads are instant.

How is your data handled?

• EVE SSO login uses OAuth2 PKCE. We never see or store your EVE password — only the access tokens CCP issues us.
• Tokens are stored encrypted in our database, scoped to the minimum ESI permissions needed for the features you use (wallet, orders, skills, ship, assets).
• Sessions expire after 15 minutes; refresh tokens after 2 days. You can revoke access anytime from EVE community Third-Party Applications.
• We do not sell, share, or use your data for anything beyond running the features you see on screen.
