To put it simply (in deference to you, Kent) players do not control the data sent to the 3rd-party tools/websites. The data is automatically sent to the tools via API.

so stay with fox news, they surely won't lie to you. honest!
also, always remember: bazmeson is watching you from the black.
You are talking rubbish. Market data changes moderately quickly, even very quickly for certain items and during CGs etc. Equipment data changes much more slowly.
You must remember that people don't manually send data to the EDDB (where the sites' info is derived from) this occurs when certain apps (EDDiscovery, EDSM, etc) interrogates the station data and submits that to the EDDB. So EDDB is not fed "live" info from Frontier about markets etc, it relies on people using things like EDSM for the data - that is why the age of the information is variable. Certain commodities of course might not be listed at all in a station commodity market even though if you have some of that item in cargo it will then show a price (of course that is mainly items you won't see as you don't have Horizons
).In summary then, your ill-informed ravings about these sites really should see you now make an apology for your misunderstanding and noob error rather than you seek to further denigrate the good work of volunteer players with your spurious incidental incorrect suppositions.
Quoted for truth.
I think you owe the site author an apology for your rant. To use a free tool (and a top-notch one too) and try to discredit it is appalling. You should be ashamed.
EDDB is so useful. I was looking for Void Opals. Found a system with 7 icy ring planets(EDDB said they all had hotspots) Guess how many actually had hot spots? Just one. How is it so wrong???
So EDDB is useless.....
Are you joking? I am looking for void opals. I am using a tool everyone suggests. And its wrong more often than not.
Your ignorant dismissal of the tireless work of a lot of very talented 3rd party devs is frankly rather offensive. It isn't surprising that you aren't getting further help, as they have probably added you to their ignore list, as I am now doing.

There is no connection between pristine rings and hotspots, They are completely unrelated things.
So why does EVERY mining video on youtube say go to EDDB and search for systems with icy pristine rings?
You need icy rings (higher reserve level is better) so they tell you how to find them. Maybe there is a tool out there which let you search for hotspots but I'm sure it won't meet your standard.
It clearly isn't EDDBs fault but you just keep blaming it.
If you wanna make big money you just have to put in the work yourself.
But do any of them say there will always be hotspots? They don't because hotspots are generated by stellar forge and placed randomly. You can get hotspots in any kind of reserve. What hotspots do is they increase the value of the base reserve, so a depleted+hotspot is better than a depleted and a pristine+hotspot is better than a pristine. They say go to pristine because it's the best base, but you'll still have to find the hotspots yourself. Or you can just go the already known and recorded hotspots.

How is it not EDDBs fault? A few times I scan the rings and not a single hotspot. What is the EDDB/bodies thing for?
You search for icy rings and you got icy rings. I allready told you that it (EDDB) doesn't store hotspot data. You have to scan the rings yourself to find hotspots. Even in icy rings without any hotspots you'll find opals, just with a lower probability.
