Seems like all the links I click are broken. I expected to just see a list of all the requests I can make. How else am I supposed to use an API if I don't have a reference?

Confused newbie, please let me know if I'm just not looking properly.

The thing about that page is that the only unbroken link is to the crowd source page but that doesn't include enough information to get started. Just a few random topics, they don't seem to tell me a whole lot.

Now that wiki.eve-id.-net is defunct, that's the best there is (besides this forum). Just start from there and post questions as you go here in the forum. This gets you started. You might also try grabbing a copy of an open-sourced tool in the language you're coding in and have a look at how things are done there.

Bonus points for enhancing the crowd-sourced docs as you go. You've got the advantage of knowing what a new coder looks for, where we old devs, who contributed to the docs, are too comfortable with the APIs we're using that we forget to add the basic stuff.

P.S.
Archive.org seems to have a snapshot of wiki.eve-id.net: https://web.archive.org/web/20150813120339/http://wiki.eve-id.net/Main_Page
