Dear Council of Stellar Management
As it is written on Eve Online's homepage - there are "player-created empires, player-driven markets, and endless ways to embark on your personal sci-fi adventure".
I am web developer and I am learning how your APIs works (after few years break) - both XML and CREST.
I discovered few things I would like to clarify:
1. Listing citadels placed among the universe 2. Viewing market orders placed in citadels
Let's start with first one.
Listing citadels placed among the universe
I would like to know if you are planning to publish information about citadels created by players in your API? I see different kinds of views in this topic and just would like to know your statement.
From my point of view APIs I could give such information, but maybe not so detailed as in case of NPC stations described as follow:
40106568: celestialIndex: 2 moons: 40106569: npcStations: 60001096: graphicID: 20627 isConquerable: false operationID: 20 ownerID: 1000010 position: - 19318579200.0 - 1905500160.0 - -108134277120.0 reprocessingEfficiency: 0.3 reprocessingHangarFlag: 4 reprocessingStationsTake: 0.05 typeID: 1529 useOperationName: true typeID: 14
Station name is build basing on planet celestial index, moon index and corporation name.
Citadels have their own names and this is what I would like to have. "OwnerId" could be hidden, but an information of solar system, where citadel is located is crucial.
I think that most of information that players can check by their on in the game should be present in the API.
In this case I mean that players can:
- locate citadels in systems
- check it's owner
- check broker's fee
- check reprocessing yield
Some information about citadel is not necessary:
- position in the universe (X, Y, Z) as citadel can float (I may be wrong here)
I would like to use it with the market orders - my second topic.
Market orders
https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/market/10000020/orders/sell/?type=https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/inventory/types/3049/
CREST API returns two sell orders, but there are in fact 3, where missing one is placed in: Tash-Murkon Prime - GûêGûêGÖÑTash Murkon Trade HubGÖÑGûêGûê 1.0%
So there are two things in here:
- Sell/buy orders related to citadels are hidden
- Player sell/buy orders returned for herself/himself placed in citadels are returned by CREST API, but we cannot say which citadel it is because we cannot get it's name
Viewing market orders placed in citadels
So - after introducing citadels - API is not following this new feature and publishing market orders is not complete and consistent as it delivers only partial information
I don't know if market history includes orders placed in citadel to daily values. |
