Examples:

https://zkillboard.com/autocomplete/jita/
https://zkillboard.com/autocomplete/squizz/

The response is in JSON. This will return a list of all entities that start with "jita" or "squizz". If you'd like to return only specific entity types please see post #7 below.

Feel free to implement it on your website, tool, or app. Don't worry about abusing it, the backend is powered by redis. If redis can't handle it then I've got bigger problems :)

This request is CORS friendly. If you find yourself having issues, add a slash to the end of your URL

Not CORS friendly (returns a redirect because ~squizzcode~):
https://zkillboard.com/autocomplete/jita

What exactly does it return? just evedb dump entries?

if it is everything in your database, why does https://zkillboard.com/autocomplete/julia not return my character?

If you search for "Julia Allrian" it does. I think the API just returns the first 15 results for the search query and there are far more than 15 Julia results.

CCP Foxfour is absolutely right. It's a search feature. Not a database dump feature Shocked

Thank you Phantom.

Bumping thread. CORS mention has been added and a workaround mentioned for those of you having issues.

CORS is a pain in the butt, however, it is a necessary evil Smile
