Commanders having Elite from Epic games store with http 400 error
When you try to link your accounts, you may receive the http error 400 about expired tokens. It's an issue on Frontier's end that I cannot solve on Inara. Fortunately, the solution is simple - please give it a few days and it will start to work later (probably when the access token on their cAPI server expires). If the error 400 appeared later and it worked before, try to reauthenticate as said in the error message (may be just a regular reauth forced by Frontier). Alternatively, you can try to use the workaround below. If even that won't work, it's the problem described above.
Please vote for the issue on the official bug tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/21258

Possible workaround: Try to connect the account while you are in the game. It may work.

Game data and imports not available for console commanders and PC players with Legacy game version
Inara supports only the Live game version (so PC Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey) since game update 14, thus all the game data on the site and the commander data imports work only for those game versions.

If you dock on a station outside the starter zone your permit for those systems gets revoked

So nice to see that implemented so quickly! Currently, it seems to be bugged on lower price commodities. It's still not considering polymers as a viable trade (example: https://inara.cz/market/8004/40423/ ).

Hmm, indeed. The Polymers are counted in by default, but under some conditions they may not fit into the search (it's a part of the optimization to not search for every commodity station is offering/demanding, to speed things up). I have however an idea how to solve it, I will take a look on that today.

Is there a problem with the Inara import of Frontier data? For the last two days my auto import has failed. I've attempted to reset the link, but it still won't import anything.

Not with the Inara, but it seems you have met the "famous" timeout (error 28) problem with the Frontier server. I have adjusted your import date, it should work again.

Great. Thanks for the quick response. I honestly can't play Elite without your site.

Hello,

I use ED Market Connector and it used to update to this site so all I needed to do was refresh the market page and it would know where i am. It stopped doing this a few days ago, I've checked the API key and the two match. If I use 'Import Frontier Data' each time I land it works fine.

Has a setting changed somewhere or is there something i'm doing wrong.

Thanks

No idea, does EDMC throw some errors? The API should return an error on problems and as far as I know, EDMC is displaying it. You can also try some alternative like EDDLite or ELA to see if that works for you.

No errors that i know of, is there a log file i can investigate somewhere?

Other sites like EDSM work ok, and inara has worked for ages until a couple of days ago.

There should be a log file in a temp directory: %TMP%\EDMarketConnector.log , so you can check this. I do not see anything in API logs for you recently, so I cannot help with further details. But there certainly weren't any changes with API made on Inara's end recently and users seems to be using it just fine, so it seems to be some local problem.

The gender dropdown in the biography page is listed as weight.

So it is! Notably, the options are... Tertiary?

Yeah, undefined is odd there. I'd change that to other or better yet just make it text entry. Male/Female is fine, but doesn't cover everyone.

Free text seems like the best option. I'm embracing my attack helicopter side today.

Thanks for the report, I will fix that later this week (and change the "undefined" to "other" as it seems to be a better term, too). No free text as I bet people will get super-creative there and it may turn into a parody.
