I should definitely check out their API, though I’ll note that then I’d have to figure out how to handle multiple results in ImportXML().

I suggest you check out the EVE-Central API, let’s you query multiple items in a single request (20 i think), so combined with the 50 imports, this improves a lot the potential of 1 spreadsheet.

I know about the limitation but haven’t had to deal with it yet. Thanks for the reminder, as I neglected to mention it in the main post.

FYI, if you have not ran into yet. Google Docs only allows 50 ImportXML Calls per spreadsheet doc. So no multi sheet docs. Just have to break it into multi docs…

Yeah, I still need to think about other XML data sources. Note that, due to caching, Google Docs won’t work very well with the EVE API (per James Harrison). But that doesn’t mean other things can’t provide useful data.

I didn’t know you could import XML data like that. Oh, the possibilities :O
