I don't think that is the situation anymore.

https://support.eveonline.com/api

The API page login used to be tied to the forum login, and CCP didn't want people making throw-away spamming accounts.

they likely aren't. Most important tools (EveMON, eveHQ, etc) use the new key.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

yeh the issue i have is that evemon dosnt take the corp key, so any lab job or manu job installed for a corp dosnt show. so im using the older evemon version that works properly

72h is up and the old apis are there yay. dont turn them off pls ccp

my corp keys work fine in eveHQ... guess it's a limitation in evemon then (will probably be fixed shortly).

Hope so, though the developers seem reluctant to do so, and have posted several times an explanation: EVEmon isn't a corp management tool. The old keys got the corp jobs into EVEmon because they were less restrictive. Actually, a surprising amount of corp info is available with the old keys.

the old way had that restriction to prevent botting abuse on the forums, and ingame....

bot progams would use api's to autospam mails to players which was really annoying. CCP put that restriction to reduce the spam... as most trials that spammed like that got banned within 72 hrs of the spam attacks.

since the new api system is up n running the old system is now defunct

indeed... TBH, I never used the corp stuff in evemon. EVEHQ is a LOT nicer for that.

the issue is that while the job is installed in a corp lab. it is still that toon's job and now in the new api it isnt shown.
so personal api, dosnt show personal jobs.
i get that i can put all 9 toons that this effects into another program, but the issue is its 9 toons. with evemon i click 1 tab and it shows a differnt toons job, the end date, how many of the 21 job slots are free. dates/times of when them jobs end etc etc. all with 1 click. cant do taht easy check with any other program.
