It would be good to know what data is off limits due to game play reasons. For example would you consider access to live market data reasonable? The obvious answer to me is no, because you don't allow it in-game (or maybe you don't allow it yet because the necessary infrastructure is not done, or for other technical reasons). I don't think I must give reasons why this data would be useful because it's already self-evident from the existing apps! is this going to be per account API or there will be general data access?
Anyway, for additional features, based on my current features and future planned features:
- Heat map generation from player activity like travelling, commercial activity, missions, etc. (potential for emergent game play too) would be nice.
- Access to faction, state and influence data to generate alerts for daily influence and state changes (couple with the above, we got a winner).
- In case commodity markets data is made available apart of the obvious functionalities in many apps already I'm planning recording of historical trading data to dynamically generated graphs from historical data and other fancy statistics.
- For external route planners or system catalogues, access to real system coordinates and system names would be excellent (we got a partial database dump but still).
- Other station data like type, name, facilities etc. as an external station browser if anything for validation reasons (and completeness).
