First place to start is here https://developers.eveonline.com/ as for docs there isn't much it's mostly figure it out on your own but there is some here https://neweden-dev.com

Finds camping stations from the inside much easier. Designer of Yapeal for the Eve API. Check out the Yapeal PHP API Library thread.

CREST doesn't currently have any live endpoints that use your character data, so you can't use it to get your location. Right now it only has public data.

To get your location, you'll want to use the XML API which is well documented on New Eden Dev.
You could use CharacterInfo which will give you the station name if you're docked, or system name if you're in space.

Location info is also available from IGB headers (e.g. Dotlan's radar functions).

Updates instantly, rather than cached, but has obvious disadvantages over API. Different use case.
