I have a fairly simple question that I cant seem to find any answers on in any documentation. Is there an API call for victory points in a system (i.e - the level of contested it is?)

Thanks in advance for any help!

I read this information before posting, and I thank you for responding, but my understanding of that API information is that there is no "system specific" information given - maybe I'm wrong?

Nope. I don't see any API call returning VP per System.

Thanks for your help mate, I know it can be done in some way - as I know of a tool that is API driven that gives percentage of contested of given FW systems... I just dont know how they are getting the information from the documented API tables.

Anyone else have any ideas on this?

There are several APIs related to faction warfare. There are per char and per corp ones plus top 100 general stats and if you combine that with killlog data it shouldn't be hard to come up with the data you're trying to figure out. The kills include faction info in them so once you have that info it should be simple enough to figure out how many were contesting the system etc.
