It's a non-documented use, but it should work. Though has problems with some things.

alternate (which I whipped up)

http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/api/typeid.php?typename=Tritanium
http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/api/typeid.php?typename=Tritanium&format=xml

So... Who wants to write a gateway for the api, to convert from legacy keys to CAKs?

Am I the only one who thinks it weird we're doing Spring cleaning in the Fall?

..aside from that; good idea.

keyID and vCode

You'll still need the character id (which is your own id. http://api.eve-online.com/eve/CharacterID.xml.aspx?names=Steve%20Ronuken gets mine)

You can always update the Evelopedia api pages yourself. I tend to update them when I drop by looking. But I don't do that often, so not many are done.

They're obviously paying attention to our antipodean Bros.

Known google issue, tweak them to the correct https api call and hopefully they will refresh, otherwise drop them to http and let CCP's http to https conversion handle it.

The problem is with google docs/drive's import function, it doesn't read the cache until part of the xml as not every xml source uses it, I have been trying to get this corrected but like everything else it takes time.

Another method is to append "&day="&today() which forces it to use the day as a reference, this recalculates when you open the sheet but should cache it for that day.

A quick example:

Importxml("https://api.eveonline.com/eve/TypeName.xml.aspx?ids=34,35&day="&today(),"//@typename")

I'm also trying to get some gas (Google Application Script) work done to fix this but as the api is already on it's way out in favor of CREST, it may be safer to wait and see.

CCP: CREST / API
When will we get a direct cached market listing from the game rather than using the market cache uploaders and in some cases an igb market scanner, which can cause a lot of server stress on the in game market server.

At least with a cache you could set cache update timers, and the main game servers can get hit a little less hard for us to get this information.

Just for players reference these out of game prices are what eve central, battleclinic, evemon, eft, eve market data, etc all use as do several killboards.

All of these require players to keep them updated so much so the current evemon has an inbuilt cache uploader, whilst some marketing sites use an igb rapid scan to read the prices of everything at a speed of 1 second per item.

CREST / API could internally cache this at set time intervals directly from the main market server feeds and cut out this whole data chain and the potential game lag it causes.

I wouldn't be surprised if the jita player limit didn't rise if this market information was available without the lag of market scanning.

Note: I would be happy to discuss this with CCP, CSM & other players.

Yes please use the eve format like this forum: Year Month Day Hour Minute (Seconds)

1. It's generic
2. It's the same as the forums and game

I can list the custom format for google docs and other spreadsheets on request.

Hi, since the change today i'm getting:



and

and





E: added a few more, reproduced this is on 3 boxes now, 3 isp's. All running some flavour of debian.
E: openssl output: http://pastie.org/pastes/5073411/text?key=zutwahg7qkogd64vpixdq
E: bugid: 145368

i can confirm the issue on debian and ubuntu machine,
chrome from same machine seems to handle it fine though.

however it seems to be an issue with the certificate, not with my machine,
since other certs don't cause that error

an application that is no longer maintained does only add value on the surface. its balast to everyone else,
and i prefer CCP to modernize stuff, especially after they gave every more than enough time to adopt the new keys.
its not CCP's fault if people are abandoning the software they launched. (and its a good reason why such software should be opensource anyways ;)




so explain it better to them.
