Suppose I have output for api call AssetList.xml.aspx , how to define what itemID's from this output are valid to pass to Location.xml.aspx ? Im trying to reduce amount of calls to Location.xml.aspx by calling multiple ID`s at time, but very frequently I receiving error

Owner is not the owner of all itemIDs or a non-existant itemID was passed in. If you are not trying to scrape the API, please ensure your input are valid locations associated with the key owner.

I have already define some rules:
1) item should have non-empty locationID
2) item typeID <> 27 (Office)

But this is not enough.
For example any container is valid itemID for Location.xml.aspx. But blueprint lying near this container is invalid (though it has non-empty locationID).


At present, when Im encountering error, I must split the erroneous group of itemID's and call them one by one - but it makes overhead to eve api calls and loading the server.

How to define which itemID is valid for Location.xml.aspx beforehand?

Well. It seems to be there are no way to determine wich itemID eligible to call Locations.xml.aspx.

I have finalaized with the approach described above. Split AssetList into chunks by 20 ID's and call Locations.xml.aspx for every chunk. If chunk call returns the error - split this chunk into separate ID's and make call for each ID one by one.
