I've searched for some sort of documentation on the api calls you can make, and the best I've found is digging through the code of certain libraries, which can only help so much.

I just want to be able to say, how can I find all the character names on an account (because I do need to know that, if you have an answer thank you), and check the documentation, where it'd say to use api.eveonline.com/eve/CharacterNames.xml.aspx and pass these as arguments.

does any sort of documentation exist?

But yeah ... the documentation is sparse and scattered across a few places. CCP FoxFour made an attempt to "unify" the documentation not too long ago. Not sure how far that project went, though.

Ahh, as always - Steve to the rescue! Big smile

Thx, my Google Fu failed when trying to dig up that link.

thank you! So far this is the best thing I've seen, it should be enough.

Than look again, especially at the XML API part ... Blink

lol, yeah. Not got the XML stuff yet. CREST and SSO are shaping up fairly nicely though Smile

So far only SocksFour and I have contributed, so it's going pretty slowly. It would be great to get more help with it!

I won't promise anything, but I at least fetched the repo yesterday.

But the XML endpoints page currently looks like a test for deciding what styles/formats to use. See the Blueprints endpoint, for example, which features two different table layouts with the same data. Who's gonna decide on that?

Final decisions all rest with foxfour. Generally though, he's happy to take whatever you actually come up with. (The things he's asked me to change have generally been typo's or how to represent particular names of things. The history of the comments on my PRs is on the repo.)

Some things it's good to talk over first. For that, the #devfleet channel on tweetfleet slack is great. FoxFour hangs out in there, and even uses it to get people to test stuff for him.
