Ok, so I am not very familiar with the API application, and would really like to request some one informing me on how it works and how I can make it work for my corporation. What I am hoping to do is use the limited API, as requested to the newer recruits, to me so I can view their pilots. Is this what it is for? I am told it is helpful to ask for this because it makes it so you can view corp thieves, but I am not very well informed on the use.
Please, can some one fill in my blank understanding here and also give me a link to where I can ask for the limited from players and apply it so I can see the history of their other character?
Thank you early to anyone that can help out, and I really appreciate the help.

The API (Application Program Interface) isn't an application but something that applications can use to do something. In the case of the Eve API it allows access to some of the in-game data so other people (third-parties) can make some cool things. Because CCP decided to use a fairly simple XML file format for the data it is also human understandable. One way of checking on their other characters on the same account is to just enter their userID and API key into Evemon and it'll show them to you so you can then look them up. There's has also been a couple web bases applications make to just check what you're asking for. You can find threads about them in the forums here. I'd link them but I can't seem to find them myself today so maybe someone else can help you with that You might also find the sticky thread above useful as it has many links to sites with links to many applications. -- Finds camping stations from the inside much easier.

Thank you very much Dragonaire for answering the question for me; it was very useful, thank you again.
My next question, though, leads to the EVE-Mon set up that I seem to be having a large issue with. One of my soon to be members accounts, and my own, will not produce the information needed on EVE-MON. Does anyone know why this is? Other member's information does work very well, and for some reason this one member and mine do not work at all. I have reset the Limited API, and have the other member, and am making sure we both are using correct USER ID #'s. I feel that I have looked over the EVE-MON FAQ's and not sure what I am missing. Please assist me in figuring this issue out or heading me in the right direction, thank you. -=Governor of Blue Nova Industries=- ôWe build the items you need to blow stuff up!ö |

If this has just been since last eve patch make sure you update Eve-mon and it's data files but also note that the API has been a little flaky as they are working out some bugs it seems and it's returning a lot of errors right now so might give it another couple days. Also remember that the API key is cached on the CCP servers for a while so right after you change your key it might not work for up to a couple hours sometimes. Normally it takes about 5-15mins but there are time it seems to cache it longer. If after a day it still doesn't work I'd be filling a petition if I could access any of my character APIs manual using something like the test pages at Chucker's site. -- Finds camping stations from the inside much easier.
