Hi,

I have some questions about grabbing data from eve.


  1. How does the data get from eve to any app/web that i setup?
  2. If I want the information myself, do I need a pilot in each hub?
  3. If so, are they able to down/upload ALL items or do they need to open each item,export/save something etc?


I'm running two courses in Python now. One is a Codecadamy and the other is a free course with Coursera with Chuck Severance of Michigan State University

..... never though I'd go to University.... even if it is in a roundabout way.

Just learnt about raw_input and float()...... Big smile

Hi,
1a. For the API you use https://github.com/eve-val/evelink . It pulls data from CCP in the form of XML but hides that nasty fact from you. http://eveonline-third-party-documentation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/xmlapi/intro/ has more info.

1b. Some info is only available from CCP via CREST: http://eveonline-third-party-documentation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/crest/intro/ and is generally more tricky to use if you need authenticated data

2. Nope, data from the API or CREST doesn't depend on where you are located.

3. Check out the docs, different ways for the different interfaces.
