I had a idea for a html/js app using the Eve API.

However my idea won't work because the API does not have CORS enabled.

Quote:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.eveonline.com/char/AccountBalance.xml.aspx?keyID=x&vCode=x&characterID=x. Origin http://localhost:8080 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.


So my feature request is to have CORS enabled so websites could interact with the Eve API without needing a proxy server.

Thanks,

I want to say that you can already do this, sort of, by testing your site in the in-game browser. The downside being that it will only run in the in-game browser.

Do not take this as gospel my knowledge of the Eve API is limited but I do know that API calls of some sort work through the in-game browser.

What you are talking about is the in game browser API. I am referring to the Eve API ( not sure if there is a different name ) which is made for out of game stuff.
