I didn't write the code but I quickly skimmed over it over the morning coffee. Seems to me that the only way 531 is raised is that if the contractID parameter does not correspond to an existing contractID. Note that this (the contract items call) is not a matter of the contract being completed or any other case of conditional exclusion. However that would apply to the contract list call itself which will only display contracts in outstanding or in progress status or if they are older than a month.

So you should try the char/Contracts call again to see if you find the contract in there with a different ID than what you're using.

I'm having similar problems with ContractItems.xml.aspx while trying to use it with a list of contractIDs.
What it the correct way to attach the contractID list to the xml request url?

Is it &contractIDs=xxxx,xxxx,xxxx,
or is it &contractIDlist=xxxx,xxxx,xxxx,

I always get "[error] => Invalid or missing contractID." but the IDs I'm using are correct.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for taking a look,

Tried again this morning

I am only having this problem with one toon and one contract. Every other toon and contract works fine.

Not sure,

The only thing i see that is different is the contracts are a mix of BPO and BPC while all the other characters have normal items.

Oh and it's the FULL Api key not a custom key.

Off Topic, but is there a API call to receive the permissions of the provided key?

Is there still no solution for that bug?

Is it already officially working?
Because i wonder why ContractItems.xml.aspx is not even listed here:
http://wiki.eve-id.net/APIv2_Page_Index

I already tried it with different api keys and all permissions, but still no luck.
I'm out of ideas ... and somehow i doubt that i'm doing something wrong.
Maybe that api does not work with single-item contracts?
Because i did not yet tested with multiple item contracts.

I seem to be having problems with corp too.

This error does seem to be affecting everyone I've talked with and has made testing impossible so trying to add the API to Yapeal had to be halted for now

So maybe there's hope the
