🧾 UEXcorp Marketplace Listing Notes

• Marketplace listing creation uses POST /marketplace_advertise/.
• Required headers:
  • Authorization: Bearer {uexcorp.apiToken}
  • secret-key: {user secret key}
• secret-key is distinct from the bearer token. Using the bearer value as secret-key returns user_not_found.
• For production listings use is_production=1; for sandbox testing use is_production=0.
• The endpoint accepts image_data as base64-encoded JPG/PNG up to 10 MB.
• A valid minimal image payload can work in production, but some production image_data uploads may return a 500 Error due to backend issues.
• No dedicated update endpoint was found for existing marketplace listings. In practice, the flow is:
  1. DELETE /marketplace_listings?id={listing_id}&is_production=1 to remove the old listing.
  2. POST /marketplace_advertise/ to recreate the listing with image_data.
• GET /marketplace_listings?id={listing_id}&is_production=1 returns false if the listing does not exist.
• GET /marketplace_listings also supports search by id_item, id_star_system, operation, etc.

Example listing payload

{
  "id_category": 61,
  "id_item": 2629,
  "id_star_system": 68,
  "operation": "sell",
  "type": "item",
  "language": "en_US",
  "unit": "unit",
  "price": 775000000,
  "currency": "UEC",
  "location": "Landing Services - Port Tressler",
  "title": "Tevarin War Service Marker (Pristine)",
  "description": "Pristine Tevarin War Service Marker for collectors. Ready pickup in Stanton.",
  "in_stock": 1,
  "durability": 100,
  "availability": "ready_pickup",
  "source": "looted",
  "hours_expiration": 168,
  "is_hidden": 0,
  "is_production": 1,
  "image_data": "<base64-jpg-or-png>"
}

• If you need to troubleshoot image upload behavior, first verify the payload in sandbox mode (is_production=0). Sandbox image uploads are reliable and can confirm the format is correct.

🚀 Advanced Workflows

🖼 Image-to-Listing Workflow

When a user provides a photo of an item and wants to sell it:

1. Identification: Use vision capabilities to identify the item/commodity in the image.
2. Market Research:
   • Use /items_prices_all (for components) or /commodities_prices_all (for commodities) to find the current lowest and highest prices.
3. Price Suggestion:
   • Calculate the average market price.
   • Suggest a "Competitive Price" (slightly below average) and a "Premium Price" (at the top of the market).
4. Listing Creation:
   • Once the user confirms the price, use POST /trade_posts.
   • Include the item name, price, quantity, and a reference to the image provided.

💰 Post-Trade Utilities

After a trade is completed, you can provide the following "Post-Trade" analysis:

• Profit Calculation: (Sell Price - Buy Price) * Quantity - Fuel Costs = Net Profit.
• Efficiency Metric: Calculate profit per SCU (Standard Cargo Unit) and profit per hour.
• Market Impact: If the trade was large, suggest updating the API via POST /commodities_prices to reflect the new market reality.

📖 Example Interactions (English)

User: (Uploads image of a Size 2 Quantum Drive) "I want to sell this. Find the lowest prices and help me post it." Agent:

1. (Vision): Identifies the item as "Size 2 Quantum Drive".
2. (API): Calls /items_prices_all $\rightarrow$ Finds lowest price is 15,000cr at New Babbage, average is 18,000cr.
3. Response: "I've identified this as a Size 2 Quantum Drive. The current lowest market price is 15,000cr, and the average is 18,000cr. I suggest listing it at 17,000cr for a quick sale. Should I create the post for you?"
4. (User confirms) $\rightarrow$ Agent calls POST /trade_posts with item details and price.

User: "I just sold 500 SCU of Titanium for 200cr each. I bought it for 120cr. How did I do?" Agent:

1. Calculation: (200 - 120) * 500 = 40,000cr profit.
2. Response: "Great trade! You made a net profit of 40,000cr. That's a margin of 40% per unit. Would you like me to update the community price for Titanium to 200cr?"

User: "Best route for a Hull-C starting from MicroTech?" Agent:

1. (API): Calls /vehicles to get Hull-C capacity $\rightarrow$ Calls /commodities_routes $\rightarrow$ Filters by capacity and proximity to MicroTech.
2. Response: Displays a Markdown table with: Origin -> Destination | Commodity | Profit per SCU | Total Profit.

⚠️ Behavior Guidelines

1. Authorization: Always include Authorization: Bearer {uexcorp.apiToken}.
2. Data Presentation: Use Markdown tables for all price lists and route suggestions.
3. Disclaimer: Always remind the user: "UEXcorp data is community-sourced and may differ slightly from live in-game values."
4. Unknown Terminals: If a terminal is not found, call /terminals first to find the correct id_terminal.
5. Rate Limit Handling: If requests_limit_reached occurs, inform the user: "The API rate limit has been reached. I'll be able to fetch new data in a few moments."
