Working on a fix now, will get it out ASAP.

Is this working for you now? I haven't changed anything but also have not seen any other reports of this problem. :/

Can the attribute "description" be added to /char/Medals.xml.aspx for the "currentCorporation" rowset? It is present in the "otherCorporations" rowset.

The legacy API keys granted access to /corp/Medals.xml.aspx, getting the description was easy and trivial from that endpoint. With the new customizable keys, it is not possible to get the medals' descriptions without a corporation key form a director or the CEO.


This seems reasonible... will see what I can do.

Hey guys,

as a heads up as soon as I can find the time I will be removing WH systems map/kills endpoint. This is data that exists in the API but not the client and is incredibly powerful. As with everything I am open to discussing this, but I will admit that you will have a damn hard time convincing me of not doing it.

Please continue this disscuission here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4558401#post4558401

Our wormhole mapper software relies on this information to determine the current status of the systems we are connected to. I would very much like to keep this information in the API as the information it provides is essential for us.

Here we go: while I have to agree that from clearly technicall standpoint this is correct - we cant see kills data on map for wspace, removing this data affects wspace gameplay and should looked at from game design viewpoint.

In wspace we have to strugle with a lot of issues to get content. We leave in barelly working posses, have to roll for hours to get pvp content, heavly rely on third-party apps to do basic stuff like knowing our conection map.

Information about kills lessen some burden of rage-rolling for pvp as we caj faster assess if given system is promising we we shoul spend time and scan chain from it or close it and roll more.

Ofc one can say that kill data only show past kills and its not guaranted to have anyone logged in still in that chain but its a filter kind off thing, something that slightly ease out hard life of wspace. And as such IT SHOULD BE DISCUSSED AT LEAST WITH WH REPRESENTATIVE ON CSM.

Also - during ff you said that you are thinkimg about providing all killmails trough api. Soooo that contraditcs this change. If you will get greej light for km's then what you are sayijg is this: I will not tell you how many kills where in this system, but this is a list of all 23 of them.

Is there a chance to get some timetable instead of "whenever I have time"? Would be nice to have time to test some existing tools so that people aren't suddenly left with broken mappers.

But that's only because we (the whole dwellers) don't have a nice ingame, ccp made map.
The rest of the eve residents do have a map, in which case they can see the stats without a problem.

So to counter this problem we made our own maps, tools ander other whatnots

And now you are telling us we wrote our maps with info we should not have?
Because it to powerfull? If that's really the case, maybe it should be removed from the game and not only whole space.

Come on think this over, we need this info as much as other eve players.
We even worked for it, unlike non whole residents, we fiddled, tinckerd and tried untill we had our own tools and maps.

don't take that away from us ccp.

You should not break tools people have already written.

At the very least this is an issue for the CSM, because these endpoints are widely used.

Could we at least get some discussion as to the reasons behind you think it's a powerul tool and discuss it with our WH CSM rather than just removing a valuable tool from WH space?

It's hard enough to get content in WH space without you removing tools we use to help us find it...

I think this is a mistake, as many others that use mapping tools that show this information. It has already been stated that this little bit of intel generates content (fights).

If you want to think of it in a more realistic matter - Scientists can right now detect and track "explosions" in space (Armageddon anyone lol). So it makes sense that in a universe as advanced as EVE that sensors could detect ship explosions. Now when ship jumps were removed from w-space It did make sense - realistically it would be hard to believe you could track a ships movements in a far away solar system in such a way you could tell when it left/entered a system versus simply losing track of it for a moment.


Keep w-space kill API end-points!

Having the kill history gives us an idea if there will be people online in the next x hours, or were active x hours ago. The API pulls show kills over an hour ago, so even if we see activity as "now" it was really "an hour ago" and probably isn't active now.
