Oh, i see that these subfolders are not more shown in https://esi.tech.ccp.is/dev/#/Wallet What?
I guess they are not 'live' then.

Side question: is it possible to use this interface to access folders with authorization? There is no fields for keys and stuff. Filling character ID i get 'Authorization needed' which is right but makes the whole idea of 'try it!' useless.

Can someone explain to me what is the reasoning behind having the JSON MIME type "application/json" as the root attribute of the JSON document itself?

It doesn't make much sense since the content-type should be already a header of the HTTP response and to be able to even read the JSON document you'd need to know that is a JSON document, so having that information inside the document is completely useless.

Hold on, hold on.

The ability of API Keys to monitor ALL characters of the account, is a very important function in making sure that, at least on the account involved, there is no other character belonging to some enemy alliance.

Taking that functionality away is quite the big deal. And it will never reach feature parity with the API without that.



I would like an answer to this.

What about system information? For example, I would like to be able to view killmail data without character info attached – that is, ship data (with fit), time, and location only. Will such be possible?

Hello,

I am using XLM API to get my current market orders and assets in a spreedsheet and I would like to know if it will possible to do the same with this new API ?

I am not a developper so I cant do something much complicated than that, in my point of view XML API is also a very democratic way to have acces to EVE data for lot of players and not only IT guys.

Thanks a lot





Hello,

Any news regarding my question ?

I'm a little bit worried about that, maybe another solution is to provide us some kind of programs to be able to download simple excel sheet with our data ?

Kind regards

It _looks_ like they don't, and it's a bug with the example.

https://esi.tech.ccp.is/dev/universe/structures/?datasource=tranquility for example, doesn't return that.

Sadly, this is the completely WRONG way to do API documentation. This API documentation method is still a reaction way of setting it up, IMO, the better way is to setup the documentation based off of the unit tests you do on the documentation and require unit tests on every function. It creates a better dependency, though not perfect in a non-TDD environment. It would also reduce the amount of superfluous annotations you have in your source code.

Dear ccp,

Could you please add à post endpoint on contract which will allow us to create à contract from our amazing third party industrial tool ?
Will be awesome !

The question has been asked, and so far ignored. What information is there on how we will be able to retrieve the data and input it into a google/excel worksheet? A LOT of people use spreadsheets to make multi managing bearable. We need this functionality to be present!!

It's entirely possible.

A degree harder than using the current xml api, but entirely possible.

I've been meaning to write something up about it.

Is there any ETA when we will get corporation assets endpoints?
To be more specific, i need assets in stations/outposts, citadels, and also all inspace assets (anchored starbases and their modules)
I have read notes from CSM summit, and there was mentioned, that you will shut down XML API "soon" so im curious.
thanks.

To avoid heavy load on API, would it be possible to set corpid filter on the /wars/ endpoint?
So it filters results to wars where corpid is aggressor, defender or in allies list (any relation to the corp)

Would it also be possible to provide multiple ID's to the /wars/{warid} endpoint, so details for multiple wars could be retrieved with a single API call?

It's kinda harsh having to download all wars to find the active wars a corp is in, where a simple filter would reduce the amount of calls greatly.

Any word of enabling ship type tracking in the API for use in wormhole mapping tools? Since the elimination of the IGB calculating jump mass hasn't been able to be done precisely as the available mappers can't log the ship jumps.

Bumping the thread to request some information that for now has only been available through the SDI, and I'm talking about the bill of materials + time information for the different blueprints. As much as I appreciate Steve's APIs to get them without needing to have a local copy of the SDIs, it would be nice to have an official source ;)

Hi

Can we have a way to manage contacts labels please? Right now you can just read existing labels and set those to other contacts.
To maintain a list of contacts for everyone on a tool, we'd need a way to also add and remove the labels itself.

Thank you ! Big smile
