Wormholes

Hello everyone,

I am one of the developers working on whkills.info website. As you have noticed, recently the www.whkills.info/stats have been lacking lots of information about certain Alliances and Corporations. This is due to some changes in how eve-kill.net handles the fetching of kill mails by external killboards. More information is available here: http://eve-id.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42685#p42685

Without the eve-kill KM feed we are missing all the kills from Alliances / Corps who are using eve-kill for their KB hosting. The only exception are those kills or losses that have been done or incurred against entities who host their own killboards. In order to work around this issue we implore those of you who use the eve-kill killboard to provide whkills.info with limited corp api key so we can fetch killmails directly from CCP. There are a few caveats:

1. CCP API system allows a single request per character per hour. Therefore if your corp key is being used by eve-kill or another application you might want to look for an alternative one to prevent request conflicts.

2. Make sure that the KEY type is set to Corporation. Only the "KillLog" permission under the Public Information should be checked. Also please make sure that the key has no Expiry.

We would like to have the most accurate kill stats for w-space so we will accept Keys from all corps / alliance and not just the Notable ones. In return we will put in extra work into the whkills.info site, we will expand the list of corps / alliances who stats are tracked. We will also have plans to work on individual stats page that will highlight the individuals most active / successful in w-space.

In the meantime please send your API Keys to me and I will add them to the whkills.info.

Thank You

Also, will pester the higher ups to get ours to you asap.

Daww **** gnaw, making us make you API keys?

Thank you Gnaw for this effort, it's a great site. If I understand you correctly, our key is not required because we have our own killboard.

That is correct, if you own and host a killboard we do not need the API, just the link to your killboard. The API are needed only for the corps / alliances that rely on evel-kill. In fact, if you are not on the list of notable corporations but would like to feature your kills on whkills.info you should reply to this thread with you killboard link or send in a limited API Key.

Done, clicking on alliance or corp name will now forward the page to their official killboard. In the meantime only about 5 groups submitted their keys, so we are still having issues with lack of accuracy.

If by reward you mean API keys or a link to your corp killboard it will be most appreciated. No need for any other rewards, I am quite a stat nerd and love pouring over data.

Just wanted to say thanks for putting together such a great site. I love being able to see stats that are pertinent to what we do...

Ok, we did our best to get stats as accurate as possible. Some corps/alliance might still be a bit off, just an FYI we only received API keys from 5 different groups (4 alliances, 1 corp).

So the stats are more or less accurate right now. On the 30th and 31st we will be doing more manual pulls from eve-kill in order to meet our accuracy goal for end of the month demand for these stats.

On the 1st and 2nd of September the whkills.info domain will be migrated to a new server, you might have some issues connecting to it. However, once the migration is done we will be on a new, faster server and we will begin offering FREE killboards to w-space alliances and corps.

That means:

-your very own Subdomain on whkills.info
-full KB installation for your corp / alliance
-full admin access, ability to set KM posting password, comment password
-a list of awesome EDK Mods, such as a Battle Report mod, Real Money mod, Corp Stats and so on.

Stay tuned for more info.
