EVE Technology Lab

Hi,
I'm trying the first steps with esi and oauth and... I'm clearly missing something when trying to get into it running.

(Text as gist: https://gist.github.com/janhkrueger/a4989e9d7764bba470f73aa32f62e23f )

App is set up and I can request clones, corphistory and others.

Authorising the App

https://login.eveonline.com/oauth/authorize/?response_type=code&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fcallback&client_id=[clientID]]&scope=esi-characters.read_contacts.v1%20esi-characters.write_contacts.v1&state=uniquestate123

gives me

http://localhost/callback?code=[Authorization code]&state=uniquestate123

Getting the AuthToken

curl -v -X POST --header "Authorization: Basic [base64]]" --header "Host: login.eveonline.com" --header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data "grant_type=authorization_code&code=[Authorization code]" https://login.eveonline.com/oauth/token

And there I get the access token, all fine.

{"access_token":"[access token]","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":1200,"refresh_token":"[refresh token]"}

Then I'm trying to get a list of my contacts. To get these, I use the curl string I got from https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/#!/Contacts/get_characters_character_id_contacts and inserting my token and charid

curl -i --compressed -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Bearer [access token]' 'https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/characters/[character ID]/contacts/?datasource=tranquility&page=1'

But I only get a HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
{"error": "Action failed"}


I even have tried to wait a few seconds and then send the same request because in the forums a guy wrote esi is somewhat unstable to him.
Has anybody of you an idea what I'm doing wrong?

From discussions, Action Failed is usually something from the EVE Cluster failing.

I would make sure you don't have any strange contacts like NPC's, etc.

Make an issue on the ESI github page, as I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't just error like that:

https://github.com/ccpgames/esi-issues/issues

Confirming I have this same issue on all standings write calls the last days, even on swagger api demo.

Confirmed, I have a system added as contact. Odd, I cant remove it in Eve.

EDIT: It seems its possible to add contact with id 0 (which is a system tag), and it totally breaks both Eve and contact API.
Fix is easy tho, I used the swagger interface and send request for delete of item 0 (type it as [0] in swagger).

CCP should avoid it being possible to add contacts that are not persons/corps/alliances
