Servus!

I'm looking for a historic dump of kill info!

What I'm looking for is a list of
* DATE and HOUR
* Number of Player ship kills
* solarSystemID


According to eve-id, this API should do the trick: https://api.eveonline.com/map/Kills.xml.aspx

I don't even know, if this is correct:
Quote:
Returns the number of kills in solarsystems within the last hour.

Are the provided numbers really per hour?

Evelopedia says
Quote:
The Kills API retrieves the number of ship, faction and pod kills organized by solar system.
... but in which time frame?

Does anybody know anything more in detail, how this API really works?
And did someone out there grab the data for the last year or so?

Yes, it's hourly.

If you look at the response, you will notice there is a currentTime, so the time frame would be an hour before all the way up to the current time.

Byteflux,

thanks for the heads up ... but I've hard time to believe that these numbers are really on a hourly basis Sad

Here are the 20 highest NPC kills from the current Kills API:
solarSystemID;factionKills
30001364;3559
30002805;2920
30002784;2820
30000181;2720
30000155;2700
30021392;2600
30000182;2460
30001380;2400
30001407;2377
30002818;2220
30002546;2079
30001399;2060
30001404;1937
30002175;1840
30001424;1820
30045324;1720
30000180;1718
30002815;1680
30001365;1680
30005001;1625

Thats a total of about 45,000 ships! And a grand total of 470,000 NPC ships!!!!

and here are the 20 highest Player kills:
solarSystemID;shipKills
30000156;70
30004751;35
30030141;34
30014971;28

Now, you wouldn't have to have a historical dump of that data, would you?

Got to remember how many people are ratting in the belts and doing missions etc. plus all the stupid a$$es at gates getting killed by Concord for trying to pop everyone at the gates near trade hubs Smile It all adds up in an hour.
