I have not had much time to play in the last couple months, and this problem is at least that old but I figured it would have been sorted out by now. I have not been able to use api because every time I plug in the api, or make a new one and plug it in, the application (Evemon) tells me the api is expired. Is there still something wrong with the api system? This has been happening to me for months now.

I think I see my error, when I go to the same link I have always used it does not seem to work.

http://www.eveonline.com/api/default.asp

When I hit the link in evemon (linked below) I get a new page all together, did I miss some changes to the api?

API keys have no associated user ID now? I see no user id when I remade my api with this new system,anyone know how to retrieve that info since third party apps apparently still need it to work (Evemon)?

Huh. I generated a new one with the new api maker link and I come up with the same same api key again. What am I missing here?

CCP changed the API system. Most 3rd party apps now use the CAK system (Customizable API Keys) and you have to use that credentials (ID & Verification Code). Don't forget to set the necessary AccessMask to your CAK's in order for the apps to be able to retrieve API data.
