Hi all,

I was lead to believe by wiki.eve-id.net (Cache List & Cache Styles)* that some API calls did not return data after first call, eg:

  • Asset List
  • Contact List
  • Kill Log
  • Mail Messages
  • Market Orders


However I tested this and found that for example AssetList & ContactList seem to provide the cached data every call.

Are there any API calls that do not return data after their first call (and before their cache timer runs out)?

Thanks!
Jacob

All calls return persistently the cached data, except the ContractBids call, which creates a serious defect on apps that use it.
