HOLY BATMAN IT'S HAPPENING! I think... assuming this testing goes well it will happen. Right now you can go and create a CREST application for Sisi and request the scopes for fitting (characterFittingRead and characterFittingWrite). Upon requesting those scopes you can begin having people log into your site/application with those scopes at which point you should have authorization tokens that work for reading and writing saved fits. Here is how you go about using them. If you follow CREST links from the root to the fittings resource you should go along the path of root -> decode -> character -> fittings. Doing a GET on the character resource should get you results similar to the following: { "totalCount_str": "1", "items": [ { "description": "THIS IS A TEST ... read more

Hey people, Just a heads up. The rate limit for public CREST was previously increased, and all the market details are available there. If you are currently scraping market details from authed CREST I would ask that you start doing it from public CREST instead. Public CREST should be faster and fail less often due to how we load balance the requests. Additionally, authed CREST will have its rate limit reduced in the next few weeks. Public CREST rate limit: 150 requests a second Authed CREST rate limit (to be implemented in a few weeks): 20 requests a second Any questions, let us know, CCP FoxFour read more

The cache timer for the eve/SkillTree.xml.aspx endpoint in the XML API has been reduced to 24 hours from the previous duration of 10 years. That's all. ~~ CCP Tellus read more

A new endpoint to the XML API is deployed on Tranquility. Chat Channels List of player chat channels you have created or are an operator of are exposed through the new endpoint char/ChatChannels.xml.aspx. It includes a list of characters, corporations, and alliances that have been allowed, blocked, muted, or been made an operator of the respective chat channel. New access masks are required for access to this endpoint. None of your existing API keys will have access to this endpoint without first updating them and explicitly granting access to chat channels. The new access mask is 536870912.

Hey people, Just a quick heads up about a change with the image server. We've previously had a CDN in front of the image server (http://images.cdn1.eveonline.com/), but it never supported HTTPS. Due to this we previously recommended that people use the origin image server (https://image.eveonline.com/) as it supports HTTPS. We are currently in the process of changing CDN providers, and one of the results of this change is that we have a new CDN in front of the image server that supports HTTPS. We are therefore now recommending that everyone switch their image server links to use the following address: https://imageserver.eveonline.com/ If you encounter any problems with this please let us know.

Along with the Aegis Sovereignty release, the char/ContactList.xml.aspx and corp/ContactList.xml.aspx endpoints on the XML API have been updated to include your contact labels. The rowsets "contactLabels", "corporateContactLabels", and "allianceContactLabels" have been added, each with the columns "labelID" and "name". The column "labelMask" has been added to the existing rowsets. LabelMask is a bitmask of the labelIDs indicating which labels have been assigned to each respective contact, or zero if the contact has no labels. Example XML 2015-07-13 12:23:12 ... read more

Dear fans of bookmarks, I bring good tidings. A new endpoint to the XML API is to be deployed with the Aegis Sovereignty release. So without further ado, here are the details. Bookmarks! Your personal and corporation bookmarks are exposed through the new endpoints char/Bookmarks.xml.aspx and corp/Bookmarks.xml.aspx respectively. Information such as name, location, creator, and creation time are exposed. For your own security and safety in space, new access masks are required for access to these endpoints. None of your existing API keys will have access to these endpoints without first updating them and explicitly granting access to bookmarks. The new access masks are 268435456 for character and account API keys, and 67108864 for corporation keys. Very important disclaimer! Due to the sensitive nature of this endpoint, CCP reserves the right to remove or modify this endpoint at any ... read more

Good news everyone! We have deployed to Tranquility a fix for a long-standing bug in the XML API where alliance contracts were showing up in corp/Contracts.xml.aspx, but were not queryable via corp/ContractItems.xml.aspx. With this fix deployed, you will now be able to query alliance contracts via corp/ContractItems.xml.aspx! ~~ CCP Tellus read more

Hey guys, we've got another spicy little change has been deployed to the XML API on Tranquility. The eve/ConquerableStationList.xml.aspx and corp/OutpostList.xml.aspx endpoints have had three new attributes added to them: x, y, and z. These are the in-space coordinates of the respective stations. Here's an example output from corp/OutpostList.xml.aspx: 2015-07-08 14:45:21 2015-07-08 14:46:21 Your imaginary friend, CCP Tellus read more

With just under a week to go before the new Sovereignty system hits Tranquility it's probably time that we start getting you information on the APIs we will be deploying to support it. So without further rambling, here’s the details. Structures All of the new APIs are in CREST and the first resource to look at is the SovStructures resource. This lists every structure in New Eden that is contributing to sovereignty be it a TCU, IHub, or a station. This is completely public information that will be available from within the client and so we are also making available via public CREST to everyone. Here is how it looks in the client: Via the client you can show info on any solar system in the game to get details about the structures ... read more
