Im not familiar with CORS, can someone explain and give example how this can be used with eve api and what benefits this gives?

The short version is that it allows javascript on a Web page to call the API directly; without it, the "same origin" security rules block it, and it has to go indirectly via the websites server.

Browsers have a policy, which stop you loading resources from other sites with javascript, unless those sites have a specific rule set to allow you to do so (a CORS header)

So, if I wanted to have my site take details of an API key and load it up in the client (with the key never being sent to me), parse it, allow you to mess with it, then store it, I can't do so without a CORS header.

With the header in place, I can allow people to set up a character on my site, loading the details from TQ, without me ever getting the key itself. And I don't need to worry about people throwing dodgy keys at me, which could get me banned from the API, as I never actually hit the api. It's all handled client side.


It's not something most people would need, but it's a fairly simple thing to add.

Just deployed corp/blueprints and char/blueprints to Sisi. 24 hour cache. Requires director or CEO key for corps with asset list mask.

Awesome! I'm going to be using that too, and I'm not even writing an Android application!

(bluh bluh broken stuff)

Any tips?

Turns out that a variety of things went wrong when I tried porting it to PHP. If anyone's interested, here's a C# port which is accurate enough (0.006% error - probably some rounding issue): http://pastebin.com/8tgU4E8K (Avoid, see below)

I also reorganized some of the code - no point in keeping the constants inside the main loop.


Thanks again for being awesome, CCP FoxFour!


Edit: The version on Evelopedia is better, as it's a perfect match for the ingame results (difference turned out to be that the game uses ints to represent each bar as opposed to floats).

As described in these patch notes: http://community.eveonline.com/news/patch-notes/patch-notes-for-crius

CORS headers and PI long/lat fix is out on TQ now. Let me know if there are any issues.

As stated before the blueprints endpoint is live on Sisi now.

I have a fix internally for the cachedUntil time on the jobs endpoint.

I have a fix internally for the probability on the jobs endpoint.

The blueprints, and 2 jobs fixes will probably have to wait until Hyperion unfortunately. Sorry about that! :(

You're more than welcome! Thank you so much for sharing your code and digging into this. If you have the chance, and think you can, please do go back and update the EVElopedia entry to make it better/more understandable.

Done. I also removed some redundant code (lots of math to get cycleNum when you can just use your iterator variable...). It's also entirely in spec now - perfect match to the EVE client, give or take a single unit.

How does we have access to test api ? I'm using my current TQ api key but test api tell me the key has expire (which is not the case)

Plus, due to latest Industry API remaniement, it will be possible to know which field has been replaced by which one ?

Idea: Implants slot 6-10 & Boosters in CharacterSheet API
Description: This will add some automation to various 3rd party tools to calculate character bonus factors for various activities. Personally (for EVEMon) I would like to know the bonus of some attribute enhancers like the Cerebral Accelerator etc.

Yeah I like Desmont McCallock's idea of having the rest of the implants and it shouldn't be hard to add I would think. It would make life easier for a lot of applications that need the additional info. It would probably require adding typeID fields but you might be able to drop some of the existing fields as well and maybe while you are at it you can change it into a simple rowset and rows with attributes instead of the really ugly XML that is used now Blink

o/ everyone,

http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/upcoming-api-changes-for-industry/

I read there that the corp jobs would be accessible with factory manager role.

Is it possible since i can't access https://api.eveonline.com/Corp/IndustryJobs.xml.aspx with a character API and i get a 221 error code. (and my toon got the role factory manager by title).

Any clue ?

It still needs to be a corp key, but your character has to have that role. I think is how it works.
