I'm surprised this thread is getting close to 2 years old, and we still haven't gotten news about a PI API. I'm working on a tool in Python that would be very much enhanced by the ability to grab inventory and processing data from planetary structures. I hope we hear something soon!

Since CCP is working on its mobile platform strategy.

Planetary Interaction + Smartphone/Tablet = Nice

I would like to activate my PI while traveling.

Not out of the question, we are working on replacing a lot of APIs at the moment with CREST interfaces so I will write this suggestion down.


Anything further on this? Thread still alive form #1 Posted: 2011.09.07 12:27...come on CCP, don't tease and then leave!

I would love to see this as well.. feed my addiction for all things eve-monitor while I am at work, please?

I think an interactive interface accessible through mobile/tablet would be saaaweet too. Official Eve App.

IMHO, an PI Client (even for handheld devices) is absolutely out of the question as it would greatly differ from any other EVE-API-Functions which are known today and would definitely affect ingame mechanics.

My understanding of API in general is to provide an interface for the customers and third-party developers to access ingame *information* not alter them in any other way (e.g. you cannot change your skill-queue from anywhere but the actual EVE client).

That said, I would greately enjoy seeing the PI API realised when it would do the same as any other API function: provide me (or EVEMon or the Planetary Planner) with useful information regarding my colonies, especially time remaining on my ECUs ;-)

PLEASE CCP, implement it ;-)

Best regards

I never asked for the PI API to allow modification of data.
All I am asking (and those that support this idea so far) is that we get the current status of our PI.
Planets with PI installation, current configuration of the planet PI, ...

I do not like the idea to be able to modify PI from outside of EVE itself because it would remove players from the game.

Realy, CCP, if it take so long time to make CREST just give as opportunity just to read PI data from usual API, I don't think that it will take so much time.

This seems a simple thing to implement and extremely useful.

If the reason it has not been looked at after two years is some objection to its effects on game play, someone should post that so people do not keep waiting fruitlessly.

It is not unrealistic to want all aspects of your toon's productivity available via API. I blame this oversight on laziness more than anything else. The API for the last several years has been read-only so I cannot fathom how it would negatively affect game play to view the status of one's PI.

I believe this has been addressed in the new CREST API, but until its fully published and developers start using it...
