Sanderling
Sanderling helps you read information from the EVE Online game client and automate in-game tasks.
Features
- safe: does not inject into or write to the EVE Online client. That is why using it with EVE Online is not detectable.
- accurate & robust: Sanderling uses memory reading to retrieve information about the game state. In contrast to screen scraping, this approach won't be thrown off by a noisy background or non-default UI settings.
- easy to use: You will achieve quick results with the integrated script engine and API explorer.
- comprehensive: Sanderling is used to build mining, trading, mission running and anomaly ratting bots.
Requirements
- the application requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 which can be downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=49982.

At the moment, automation to compare the usefulness of scripts for the userbase is not ready. This means that evaluating changes to scripts included in the master branch can require much effort.
In case you propose a change to a script in the master branch, it is recommended to get feedback from other users.
