# Ardent Collector

## About this software

The Ardent Collector gathers data submitted to the Elite Dangerous Data Network.

Ardent has details for over 110,000,000 star systems, over 30,000,000 trade 

orders for commodities and information on over 300,000 stations, ports, 

settlements and fleet carriers throughout the galaxy.

The Ardent Collector writes data it gathers to relational databases and 

generates reports from the data (e.g. summaries of commodity supply and demand 

and trade reports for different regions) and provides access to the data via 

the [Ardent API](https://github.com/iaincollins/ardent-api) and raw data dumps.

## Notes

This software assumes an internet connection as it attempts to connect to the 

the EDDN (Elite Dangerous Data Network) ZeroMQ instance at 

tcp://eddn.edcd.io:9500 at startup to receive a data stream.

Because of this, and other dependancies, it is build against Node.js v18.x,

an older LTS release that is end-of-life 2025-04-30 and may not work with 

other versions of Node.js.

After doing `npm install` you can run the service with `npm start`.

You may need to run `npm run stats` to generate at least once to avoid errors,

but these will automatically if left running for long enough (they are scheduled

tasks that run periodically, at least once a day).
