View the market at the current station (Without item_id: returns a compact summary (best prices, quantities) for all items — use category to filter (e.g. 'ore', 'commodity', 'module'). With item_id: returns full order book depth for that item. Accepts item_id or item name (e.g. 'Iron Ore'). Every response includes current_tick. Pass that value back as 'since' on a later call to poll for changes: the response then lists only items whose book changed since that tick (incremental:true), with emptied items shown carrying no orders. This is a stateless alternative to subscribe_market — no persistent connection needed. Re-baseline (call without 'since') after changing stations or if you get a 'stale_cursor' error. Fuel and contraband are excluded from incremental diffs. Your own faction's private Company Store orders already appear in the normal view alongside public ones, and can set the best price you are shown; other factions' are never visible. Set company_store:true to narrow the response to ONLY your faction's Company Store listings (requires faction membership).)
