Im looking for answere's on a few questions. Im managing recruitnen in a corp. Before the api change there was a way to jsut enter the recruits api into a app and it reads out his characters. It was not possible to hide characters on accounts.

With the new api system u can not check if the recruit has given u a limitted or how well adjusted api. Tecnicaly it is possible to hide characers on a account of witch he gives the api. Is this correct? If so is there a way to find out or is there an app witch tells me how limited the given API is?

This is incorrect. You can still use the API key to check what characters a player has. It will either give you results or give you an error. They also gave us the ability to check what permissions an API key has though, so before checking what characters exists check to make sure the API key has the correct permissions so as not to annoy the server with requests that just error out.

There's many services for this purpose. You might give search function a try.

Erm, it is possible to hide characters on accounts now with the new api system? For instance I have two toons on one account but I only set up a customizable api for character A and now character B. When I do an account status check it only shows character A, so how would I know that there isn't more than one character associated with that account? I feel like there should be an access mask for either "This api shows all characters" or "this api is limiting which characters you can see".

One way to always know for sure is to only allow account type keys Blink

https://support.eveonline.com/api/Key/Create

When you create a new API key you can specify if it is all characters or a specific character. I have not used the new API very much but I believe there is a way to find out if the API is a character level one or account level one. All you need to do is check that, if it is a character level one you know there might be more characters. If it is an account level key then you know you have all the characters listed.

I believe specifically if you call APIKeyInfo and there is no characterID then it is an account level key. If there is a characterID specified then it is a character level API key.

Someone with actual experience please correct me if I am wrong.

Ah ok, I figured it out. If
key accessMask="" type="Character" ... then it's restricted api to specific character but if
key accessMask="" type="Account" ... then it shows all characters
