Elite BGS

A website to track the background simulation in Elite Dangerous

Elite BGS is a project that attempts to fill a gap of APIs for the treasure trove of information online. Currently, it is operating in 2 separate modules.

EDDB API

Currently, EDDB is the greatest treasure of information of the galaxy and it is a user friendly tool for many pilots. But it lacks an API for developers. EDDB API is an attempt to fill this gap by providing an API for EDDB data sources.

Elite BGS API

For ultimate immersion and BGS control, we require not only the latest data but also historical ones. ELITE BGS API is a step in that direction. It stores information which changes regularly in a historical format. Thus, one can always look up the events that led to the current Civil War, for instance.

Special mention for the awesome group I am in, Knights of Karma, whose members had to put up with me making no contribution during development.
