This might be a really dumb question and I apologize in advance if it's something really simple that I'm missing. Which API call will return information that includes the expiration date of the API Key itself? I know one must be supplied when a key is created (or perhaps not expiring at all). I've been looking through the docs on the wiki but don't see it mentioned anywhere.

I thought the information was simply not available. Until I fired up EVEMon for the first time in a week and it notified me that the API Key I was using was due to expire in 6.5 days. It has to be getting that expiration date somewhere. Appreciate any help Smile

Edit: Found it here. Odd how APIKeyInfo isn't in the "API Functions" table at the bottom of every single API function documentation page. The index page for all the functions, my original link, is the only place the APIKeyInfo call is mentioned.

Anyway, my bad missing it, all is good again.

Thank you, that is most helpful. I've bookmarked it as the preferred place to go for API info.
