Feature Request

Most skills can be purchased & injected directly from the character sheet ("remote skill injection" or "skills on demand")

While the prices for this can be obtained from the SDE (130% * type.basePrice), information about which skills are eligible for purchase currently cannot be obtained from either ESI or SDE. Having access to this would be useful.

Previously (2019-????), the eligible skills could be determined from the SDE as they were those seeded on the market by NPC corps; "Rare skills that are not seeded on the market and are only available through the completion of in game content will not be available, but the skill sheet will provide a market link for them." (https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/skills-on-demand-changes-coming-to-the-skill-system)

This behaviour has since changed (now uses typelist id:93), e.g. SKIN sequencing skills are not seeded on the market (and not marked at such in the SDE), but are eligible for direct purchase from the character sheet.

Use case

Guiding players on where they should acquire skillbooks, in particular for reference websites and fitting/fleet sharing tools.

Skills available on the market are often cheaper, but not all skills are available on the market or eligible for direct purchase.

Example return

Provide the list of eligible skills in the SDE or ESI. Solely the skill typeIDs is sufficient to make the data useful, having a mapping of typeID to the purchase price might be more convenient.
(Note for ESI-SDE feature parity: 'baseprice' information is not available through ESI's /universe/types/{type_id} route.)

Alternatively:
Make typelists in general available, as a fair number of other ones are useful to third party development (e.g. cargo hold restrictions), but this would likely require an allow-list of which typelists are included; Maybe supercede this issue with a more general one for typelists?
