This is a simple API for storing material prospecting data for the Elite Dangerous computer game.
Primarily implemented so that EDDiscovery can have a place to store prospecting materials data.
There are also plans to develop a web frontend.
-

Documented in the schema wiki
An app can either register commanders through the API (or my frontend app). In special cases I can offer an app level account.
Contributions to the project are welcome, though Issues and Pull Request.
