So Im pretty sure that its not included in the API (not positive) but is there a way to really see a person's kills/deaths? Im not sure but some people seem to be able to keep some of that info off of the KBs like eve-kill and stuff. Like can a recruiting corp get info on whether person X is a terrible pvp pilot and loses 3 ships a day? Or person X likes to Awox? thought there was an accurate way to do it but ive confirmed that somehow people are keeping info off of the main KBs so im wondering if there is another way.

check all the KB's as they all pull the info from the EVE API wether or not the player posts the kill/loss.

The various KB's will have slightly different numbers as some miss some kills/deaths for whatever reasons but you'll get a picture of how they perform pretty easily.

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.

ok nvm, finally found it, it IS included in a full API. Still not sure how someone manages to keep things off the KB though, even multiple ones.

amount of losses does not matter much, way how and why you lose those matters most. Some people want to do suicide ganks etc where your ship loss is certain.

The API stores the last 25 kills per character and the last 100 kills for a corp. The API can only be polled once an hour per character. If you poll it before the hour is up, you get an error message. This means if a char creates 2 API keys and gives them to two different kill boards, a lot of kills will be lost as the two kbs will end up polling more than once an hour and one of them will get error messages. If you have more than 25 personal or 100 corp kills in an hour, kills will be lost as well.

Just look at eve.kill

Might take a few hours to update sometimes but it will give you the basic info you need.


Some days you lose none. Other days you shouldn't undock at all.
Everyone who pvps derps a few ships.

Awoxing can be hard to judge from a KB.

If it's FW, two or more corps in the same militia could be at war leaving a killboard that looks like awoxing has occured.
(awoxing in FW also applies to shooting other noncorp militia pilots from your militia faction)


People also test tanks and then go and fight and end up on each others killmails etc.
