Hey all,

Just a specific post for people (programmers) that use the EVE API so they know whats problems there are.
(This all is not too important for regular players.)

Problem:
I have dust players in my corp, but i get a 522 on MemberSecurity
CharacterID on the dust characterID works.
MemberTracking works but CharacterInfo fails (again 522) on the dust characterID


I can see that the latter is not implemented as i'm guessing the eve api doesnt have /the/ highest priority. But i'm unable to make my call to MemberSecurity. (And i dont care less about dustplayers, but having one in corp breaks my MemberSecurity calls!)

It would be good if it were at least possible to find out if a certain character is a dust character, that way it could be excluded from certain calls. At the moment I don't see a good way to figure this out, anyone has an idea?

There's something unique about the characterID of DUST characters that is very different from the characterID of EveO characters. Once you see it you'll wonder how you missed it :)

Care to give us other developers more information? I'm developing a web application and have no access to any dust characters.

While it would be useful it doesn't really help when calling MemberSecurity where you get no say on the characters you are getting info for :)

Ignore any characterIDs that are greater than 2,099,999,999
