Hi,

This issue has been noted before, however I could not find any official response from CCP.
Currently we no option to incorporate both Character and Corporation API calls into one Custom API Key.

Is this going to be implemented in the future?

Actually some where CCP did say something about that but I couldn't find it either Smile but one of the whole reasons for going to the new keys is to get away from the problems that the old combines keys caused for many people. It's not that hard to work with one for corp stuff and another for character stuff and at least you can now limit what they can use them for if you choose to do so now.

Indeed it's not hard to implement it, I just hoped I didn't need to... Sad

Already had a feeling it was the only way. Even if they would implement it, CCP would have to redo the bitmask (accessmask). Currently both the Character / Corporation API files share the same bitmask, and on a possible future implementation of a dual key, it would be unable to tell the difference, bitmaskwise, between limitations set for Character and Corporation access.

Still interested in the reasoning behind not allowing a dual Character / Corporation CAK.

Making a combine bitmask has some other problems like it would no longer fit into a 32 bit integer which can cause some issues for people in many programming languages since many still aren't able to deal with 64 bit integer on 32 bit systems. There are already problems dealing with the bitmask used by the IGB because of that.
