EVE Technology Lab

I am trying my hands to the ESI api.

When I am trying to get basic information about players Stations

https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/universe/structures/1024235980117/?datasource=tranquility

I get requested with authentication.

As far as I can see, the data returned by this call is nothing critical (name, location,...), so what's the point of the authentication?

I have registered my application with EVE Developers so now I have a client ID and secret key.
How do I use them from C#?

So far this is what I am doing:

string link = "https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/markets/10000032/orders/?datasource=tranquility&order_type=all&page=1&type_id=2329";
HttpWebRequest apiRequest;
apiRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(link);

apiRequest.Credentials = null;
apiRequest.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
apiRequest.UserAgent = "EVE Planetary Planner";

apiRequest.UserAgent = @"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4";
using (HttpWebResponse apiResponse = (HttpWebResponse)apiRequest.GetResponse())
{
    Stream dataStream = apiResponse.GetResponseStream();
    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
    string strResponse = reader.ReadToEnd();
    // do things here
}

Can someone show me an example of how to use the EVE Developers credentials? or point me to a tutorial?

Thanks

It requires authorization because it will only work on structures that you have access to, ie are on the ACL.


Reference this thread for some info on C#:

Also this for the general way to go about doing it:

After authentication the user will be redirected to this URL on your website. It must match the definition on file in the developers site.

I have no idea. Have to have someone with C# exp help you there or figure it out yourself.
