Hence my suggestion and request is to split the charactersheet into "attributes and implants" , "skills" and "account balance" OR add an API request with JUST the skills.

Would either of these be possible?

One of the goals of CREST is to better model the EVE universe through the API. Rather than reflecting how information is displayed in-game, and the character sheet is an example of this, there should be a better, more cohesive conceptual model exposed.

Of course, this will take time and you'll have to use the API as it stands until CREST implements the features you need. As Louis suggests, you're just going to have to filter for now and trust whoever administers your server not to leak the filtered information.

Sorry for the late reply.


Galen and Louis thanks for your replies. I would be one of those to use the tool to readout the skillsheet. So I need to trust myself. Twisted

The thing is, even if I trust myself not to write the tool in a way that I can read the wallet balance, the possibility exists. And that is reason enough not to make use of an API key with that charactersheet ticked. There is just no reason for our seniors/FCs to know the wallet balance. Or the attributes. Or implants.

Someone after me might come and use the members key to fetch that information and misuse it etc, etc.

So I won't force our members to give that key out and will be happy if CREST will have the option for the members to filter the information he wants to give even more. So that I can freely "force" my mates to give me the info I want without having headaches, because that forces them to give even more.

Regards,
