[API] Assets in structures visible in the API

I've been waiting to move into a structure right after they've been released.
But there is one MAJOR obstacle:
- Assets in citadels/other structures are invisible to the API

Personal API sees everything i have in stations. But bits lying in the citadels is -STILL- missing.
Or is there workaround thru the ESI API?

I have a big buildsheet in GDocs which allows me to build anything with ease - and any combination of items.
( It calculates everything for me - and spits out nice shoppinglists and buildlists what components to make )



Question to CCP Devs:
- When will it be fixed finally -- or will it be ever done ... "Soon (tm)" ?

It seems to fail if you use the default nested assets list.

There is a parameter you can pass to retrieve a non-nested assets list which people are using for the time being.

Thanks for that. Havent even noticed that there is possibility of non-nested lists.

When has it been added - or has it always existed but I just havent noticed?

Ps. thanks for the fast reply. Bear

I use a library called evelink and that doesn't have support for the parameter (its on my TODO list to add it), so that leads me to believe that the parameter was not always there.

Argument Type Description
characterID long ID of character
flat bool 0 (False, default) - return a nested assets list
1 (True) - return flat assets list


My own .php api parser already read the nested list and made a flat list ... good thing that there is simpler way to do things.

I wonder why structures are not in the nested list tho ...

I don't recall when they added the flat list, but everything is documented on the community site now:

http://eveonline-third-party-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/xmlapi/character/char_assetlist.html

Some libraries added support for this. Mine has it (java):

https://github.com/OrbitalEnterprises/orbital-eve-xml-api

There are many others on github.

Thanks for the info. I've my own simple parser in place - and assets are visible now that flat=1 is enabled. I wonder if the blueprint api is OK tho ...
