And here you thought I had forgotten about you!

So we're finally updating the API after Odyssey. Clearly we're a bit behind on our schedule as we'd want this to happen alongside the actual expansion deployment. I'll take the blame for that. If somebody wants a list of apologetic reasons I can probably provide that. But you're mostly interested in this list:

Patchnotes Oddysey 1.0.1

Additions
- New Kill Mail API!
-- Added char/KillMails.xml.aspx
-- Added corp/KillMails.xml.aspx
-- Function just like the wallet journal and wallet transaction calls
--- That is, require a fromID and an optional rowCount parameter supplied.
--- Will also return cached results rather than error so that multiple killboards can use the same API key safely.
-- KillLog.xml.aspx will still exist for some time to come so that KBs continue functioning.
--- It will however be deprecated at some point.

Fixes
- CharacterID.xml.aspx now supports unicode characters
- ID's that do not have an associated name should no longer create errors on request, be they supplied internally or by user input.
- Missing owner typeIDs have been added to the following pages (this should remove the need to make up to three calls to know wether a given ID is a character, corp or an alliance):
-- char/ContactList.xml.aspx
-- char/MailMessages.xml.aspx
-- char/UpcomingCalendarEvents.xml.aspx
-- char/WalletJournal.xml.aspx
-- char/WalletTransactions.xml.aspx
-- corp/ContactList.xml.aspx
-- corp/WalletJournal.xml.aspx
-- corp/WalletTransactions.xml.aspx
- HTTP Status Codes in the response header should now reflect the actual response. No more HTTP 200 OK responses for erroring calls and such.
- Fixed an error causing corp/MemberSecurity.xml.aspx to report errors because some character was in a weird state.
- Fixed an error message from corp/MemberSecurity.xml.aspx to obviously indicate that the API key no longer has access to this call.
- corp/CorporationSheet.xml.aspx now contains factional warfare information.
- Various internal changes for technical sanity.

P.S. Not a fan of trying to make nested bulleted lists...

The above changes are now live on the TEST environment. Yes, we have a test environment for the API! Which is accessed through api.testeveonline.com in a manner similar to the LIVE API.

We are planning to push these changes to TQ tomorrow. Questions can be brought to me through these forums, IRC or Twitter.

Toodles!

Yes it/they will, this was all made with backwards compatibility in mind. Otherwise I'd clearly have reused the KillLog page, made all the old parameter cause errors and changed the access mask!

So ... since we know you aren't a hypocrite and would never, ever make a complaint on the forums instead of the officially support request for change channel(s), can I have the bug id for the bug report you made to the web team where you documented the forum's poor support for nested bulleted lists?

Good stuff.

Although, just tried it on the test environment with corp/WalletJournal and ownerName1, ownerName2 and argName1 are all filled with "Type Not Found".

On WalletTransactions, clientName, characterName, stationName are also all filled with "Type Not Found".

Hmm, I'll have to take a look at that tomorrow on my own key. That really cannot go out to TQ.

Yeah I'm seeing the same on my own API. I'll have to take a look at it when I get back into the office tomorrow. Thankfully we can push the API out at any time rather than being constrained by downtime Blink

I'm kind of scared about that right now before knowing exactly how it will affect the cache servers. I'm going on vacation after this week so I'd rather not at this point and then run. But once applications have started using the call and we have a better picture of the memory pressures we could certainly consider that.

Cheers!

While for continuously running services like zKillboard it won't make much of a difference as they got their own database and regulary update it.. for local applications it's definately nice to have.

Anyhaps.. enjoy your vacation!
