No worries, this isn't about API keys.. But about an API you can access from a 3rd party source, and get information from EVE-KILL.

What should such an API provide, what would your program, or website need from EVE-KILL, and in what format should the data be in.

Lemme know what you'd like to get, and why.

I would like:

* Kill data to have a mirror. Specific bits of information: API verified or not, where, who, what and what dropped. RSS feed per character, corp, alliance, faction, system, region. Plus XML for historic data
* Lists of corporations and characters encountered - daily or weekly CSV dump

Kill data to have a mirror: if we ever decide to close down, we will release the entire mail database, so no worries there.

As for specific information as to which killmail is api verified or not, that is certainly doable.
As for providing the entire mail, thats already doable via the idfeed :)
RSS feeds pr. character / corp / alliance / faction / system / region is "sort of" doable via the idfeed aswell, but we can certainly provide some condensed information about each, like kills, losses, last 10 kills, last 10 losses, etc.

And a list of corporations and characters characters encountered? you mean the entire list of corporations and characters in the database ?

I would like to be able to query a specific pilot for:

Total # of kills for each month

Total # of losses for each month

I would cut it off at 6 months.

So if I query for pilot x, it would return:
current month kills/losses. (kills = involved in kill, not just final blow)
current month -1 kills/osses
etc..

Basically the stats as you now show on the default pilot page like this:
http://eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=10536

We would need to pass the pilot name.
