I am no expert, but maybe you could filter this out of the API somehow, ask in the tech forum.

It is around 2-3 months. Or close to 8k entries. I have a theory that when you created the key has something to do with it, but im not sure.

"The journal is configured to provide up to one month worth of data. Since each request returns at most 2560 entries, you can walk forwards and backwards in the journal to retrieve more entries."

Source: http://wiki.eve-id.net/APIv2_Char_JournalEntries_XML

"You cannot walk backwards more than a month." So no, you will not be able to find them.

You could export your wallet entries from say EVEMON to a CSV then put them into excel or a DB but that doesn't really help you now. May be worth considering for the future if it's something you'll need.

I lost many initial costs and income which I would now be able to refer as comparison for (the) said income / costs.
Your program would have, does and will save me the risk of future occurence.

Or create a simple PHP script to dump your API data into a database and you will always have it to hand!. Then you could easily create other scripts, like a finder, totals etc etc

Thanks Wafflehead.
I am to use extract API data so that I can save it.
I could then use it for specific tasks and avoid clutters, even minimize on User Interface to run it on a mobile.

The best way to save data from the API wallet field with Donations would be to save them every 2 weeks or monthly before the (data) flush.
That way, you could combine data to have your 4 to 5 months organized so that you can quickly access it.


By the way, EVE Online or ccp does not always flush the EVE wallet data monthly.
I used to have over 5 months of that data before.
I was only lucky that it wasn't deleted before.

IIRC, there's a '(A) OR (B)' condition for historical data, if I'm not mistaken it's '1 month OR 10,000 entries'. The API stops feeding data when one of the two conditions has been reached. Meaning if your corp/char has few 'journal traffic', it's quite possible to reach back more than one month.
