zKillboard is a new approach by EveKill to killboards using fresh ideas and modern technologies. It's different, but it's a good different. The developers are Karbowiak and Squizz Caphinator, with insight and directions from many others.
Please keep in mind zKB is currently beta and there are lots of things to be done yet.
Issues: - Fitting Wheel (yes, we're adding this) - OMG BIG ICONS! Yes, we'll be removing those. We hear you! - No campaigns yet. - Other various minor things which you may or may not notice :)
Please feel free to give your constructive feedback. http://evewho.com - Alliance and Corporation Member Listings http://evechatter.com - Free Alliance and Corporation forums for all. |

tl;dr: Eve-Kill is now zKillboard's *****.
Many of you already know that zKillboard is Eve-Kill's project on a new killboard. One of the big improvements we were able to make with zKB is the ability for efficient KillLog fetching and parsing.
Some history: zKB initially fed from Eve-Kill for several months using a shared cached system (that Eve-Kill was in charge of). Then zKB became more mature and began doing its own KillLog fetches while also using the same shared cache system.. And now zKB is in charge of this shared cache and eve-kill is feeding all kills from this cache.
In short, rather than me rambling I'll bullet point how this will improve kill fetching overall:
- More efficient and reliable KillLog fetching. - Better error handling (<3 you CCP) - Integrated corp director key fetches. If you have four directors each with their own corp key, then zKB can fetch new kills 4 times an hour! (CEO counts as a director) - Don't worry, API verified kills on EveKill will still show up as.... api verified.
Next on my list of things to do is importing the ~12 million manually posted killmails from Eve-Kill to zKB. Now that, my friends, will be fun...
In the meantime, feel free to ask any questions or say EveKill sucks. You suck too, now go get some kills!

DelBoy Trades wrote:Eve-kill seems to forget pilots kills all the time now. As an enormous killboard *****, I check my main's killboards religiously, lately every time I look it says I either have no kills or only shows a few recent months of kills. Is this likely to be fixed soon or are we looking at a complete transition to the Zkillboard. I'm also a bit concerned that on EVEKill I have 1700 kills on a particular pilot but only 1100 on the Zboard.
This is because zKB only has API verified kills at the moment. So that 600 kill discrepancy means there are 600 kills that zKB doesn't have the CCP provided xml.
Yes, we will be importing manual mails, so no worries about that. http://evewho.com - Alliance and Corporation Member Listings http://evechatter.com - Free Alliance and Corporation forums for all. |

Quote:"please login or register to view top kills" So not only do you want advertisement and CCP to give you money for a new server but you also want to collect a mass of emails from eve players for some strange reason.. I might design a nice simple, responsive site togive you guys some competition. It will share kill-mail information with a HIVE, the hive will link to a cluster of donated mysql databases all linked with at-least 2 copies of 1 killmail randomly distributed, a truly open system for the community.
Wow, aren't you jumping the gun a bit? We're restricting that in beta because some of the queries haven't been tuned just yet, and we only want to hit the database if we have to. Relax, this isn't going to be permanent.

Medusa,
The problem with hangar flags is a problem with EDK, which EveKill is based on. I fully understand your frustration on this and it is one of the reasons why we're designing zKB. zKB will produce json output equivalent to the imported CCP xml, which means no flags (or anything) are altered. If you'd like to inspect this on a killmail by killmail basis, replace /detail/ with /raw/ in the URL to see the raw json for that particular kill.
zKB's API will have a modifier that will allow you to request kills posted after a certain time. It won't be a number, it'll be a date. Its not currently available because the search parameters are not optimized for it. I'm well aware of the problems posed with not having it, and I ask that you display patience in the meantime. http://evewho.com - Alliance and Corporation Member Listings http://evechatter.com - Free Alliance and Corporation forums for all. |

I noticed on the "solo" tab, kills that have an NPC or a warp disrupt bubble on them don't show up as "solo".
I think this should be changed to allow all kills that have only 1 player (regardless of what else) on them to count as solo.
I've put a lot of thought into this and it boils down to this: "If external factors somehow contributed to the killmail then that killmail is not solo." I feel the same way about booster alts, however, the API doesn't account for those in a killmail... http://evewho.com - Alliance and Corporation Member Listings http://evechatter.com - Free Alliance and Corporation forums for all. |

Alrighty, I'll bite and explain my reasonings:
- CCP lists more than one attacker on a killmail. It is not solo. - NPC's could have scrammed, ECM'ed, webbed, or done nothing at all. - Wormholes affect both victim and attacker(s). All parties get those nerfs/bonuses.
Any killmail that has more than one attacker listed is not solo. If I anchored a bubble and caught someone and killed them, sure, *I* think that's solo. However, the killmail lists more than one attacker.
1 attacker = solo >1 attacker != solo
1 human + 1 npc != solo
That's the logic of the code. It isn't going to change. The Solo tab isn't going anywhere. You can hate me or love me for it.
Per the zKB API feature request: Maybe.
Any further discussion on the definition of solo and what it should or shouldn't be will be ignored. Feel free to call me an a**hole but I've discussed this many times over a 2 year period with numerous people, Some agree, some don't. I can't make everyone happy. I'm not interested in discussing it again. http://evewho.com - Alliance and Corporation Member Listings http://evechatter.com - Free Alliance and Corporation forums for all. |

It also aims to separate the victim and final blower columns because each column's contents are centered on the very column respectively (awful english, but the image should explain it), making it easier to read the page. Also icons for the killmail link (perhaps a skull for the mail and a letter for the comments instead of my painted icons). And I would like to see an site intern comment feature, or at least no 3rd party links like disqus lists. Other then that: ******* awesome stuff, keep it up!
Nice suggestions. I'm going to study your image a bit more later.

Some various things I've done in the last couple of days:
- ranks + recent ranks - zKB now recognizes and uses all character sources in zKB tables - added CEO to corporation pages and Executor to alliance pages - related pages: you can now click the ship loss row to get to the killmail (team listing) - related pages: you can now click the image of the ship to get to the killmail (team listing) - tuned some queries that were misbehaving - Added "Top X - Last Hour" to the top dropdown. Now you can see hot spots in the last hour. - Reduced points for Orca from the ridiculous 2500 to a sane 800 - fixed up a couple minor zKB API bugs - various other little things I can't remember at the moment http://evewho.com - Alliance and Corporation Member Listings http://evechatter.com - Free Alliance and Corporation forums for all. |

As far as your keyID, did you add your API under an account, if so, go to: http://zkillboard.com/account/api/
If you didn't, re-add the API on that page and it'll get assigned to you.

Battle-wise it does not add anything valuable - because it just says anomaly strength, but omits anomaly type. So you either add both anomaly type and strength (e.g. C6 Wolf Rayet, or Wolf Rayet 6), which is imo good idea, or do not add it at all.

Not really an easy thing to do without joining a couple of tables together. Joining tables is a design aspect that we are trying to avoid in designing the site unless A) the data set is small, or B) we absolutely have to. The alternative is to add the security level to the kills table itself which is both redundant and a waste of space when millions of rows are involved.

A quick update:
A couple of bugs fixed, including team lists on the Related page possibly linking to the wrong killmail in some rare cases.
zKillboard is now the home for everything KillLog API related. Eve-Kill now redirects all API key submissions to zKB.
WARNING!!!!
Karbowiak stated he's going to work on the templates this weekend to make them more tablet friendly. He will a) (95% chance) do a decent job but break something significant and leave it for me to fix, or b) (4% chance) Do a kickass job! or c) (1% chance) rage hardcore about bootstrap and give up on the whole idea.

There are many, and I mean, many ideas that we can implement. We're working on getting the base stuff done first (and hopefully correct too). The nature of the code and database of zKB will make all the new additions rather painless too.

Sarah, thanks for your feedback. Just so you know, we aren't going for "bigger is better". The bigger look is just a side effect of bootstrap.
Also, that battle report page will be getting some major love as it is far from complete. None of us are happy with the way it works atm, but its there as a placeholder until we get around to the presentation.

This is something I have thought of and would like to do. But please keep in mind that it isn't as easy as you might think. Sure, we can make something that will just hand the html over to you, but what about the CSS formatting? Will your server properly include that? Will the forum/blog/reader embed it properly? Will the client properly parse it? In some cases yes, other cases no, and we're too lazy of programmers to really want to account for all the cases.

I'm assuming this means that a corp with an identical name was founded in 2007, but disbanded some time before 2009. Then was re-founded by my friend. The API then considers it to be the same corp, due to the identical name. Correct? Is there any way to omit the kills from 2007 and 2008 to get a more accurate picture of my corp history, or is this just one of those "deal with it" consequences of the API?
zKB doesn't suffer the same name problem on kills that EDK does, if, and only if, the kill is backed by API. During our import from Eve-Kill I've run into various problems having to do with names which I'm sorting through as we go. Mostly its a "deal with it" issue as killmails from 4+ years ago are kind of iffy. This isn't really the fault of you, us, or even CCP, its just the way the game has changed over the years.
Manic Velocity wrote:It also says we have only 2 members in the corp, when I know we have 11. How often is that updated?
Prior to today corp membership was only updated once a month. Its funny you ask that since I *just* finished modifying that code about an hour ago that will allow zKB to update those values about once every 3 days or so.

This week if you've been trying to use zKillboard it's probably been slow, unresponsive, or just downright not responding to you. I'm sorry for that.
I've spent the past few days doing some major changes to our 2nd biggest table: 100m rows, 19 columns, 33 indexes, for a total of 50 gb in table size. These changes have reduced the footprint of the table by roughly 20% and allowed us to implement better indexes on the data. Unfortunately any major changes to the table took 18 hours at a time, so I'd start it in the morning and finish it the next morning (I do have to sleep!). Hopefully we are over this major table shakeup.
Over the next few weeks you should see a flurry of development from us which will have less impact on you. You'll be seeing more of a polished, final project as well. I'm really proud of us for getting as far as we have on this and I hope you all enjoy the new killboard with at least half the enjoyment I have had in creating it :) Various projects I enjoy putting my time into: http://eve-kill.net | http://zkillboard.com | http://evewho.com | http://evechatter.com | http://skillq.net |

Something I really liked about the old API (Epic one) was the "Mask" attribute, which was really good to select the information you want.
We may, or may not do this. Yup, that's completely uncommittal :)
Reason being we are trying to keep this particular API as close to CCP's API as possible by not adding any fields that CCP wouldn't include themselves. I'm not saying this is how it will always be, but that's just the reasoning we have for it today.

Poetic, yes, when you specify before a killID it is converted into a date. All CCP killiDs are sequential in order and date, so killID 123 happened before killID 321. This does NOT apply to manual killID's, which are purely random because we cannot allocate an ID for a kill we don't know about (obviously).
If you haven't already, create an issue for a manual-only filter on the API and I'll get it done Monday for you. HOWEVER! Any oddities that come from the API involving only manual kills will just be ignored. You have to deal with those yourself :)

Medusa The Gorgon wrote:Is it possible to fetch killmails my timestamp they are posted to killboard database? According to api page I see no way to create normal feed that is not hammering zKillboard server or mine to process data with overhead. The idea is not to use pages or count killmails or request lastseconds with already posted stuff. I have feed from custom killboard with this principle, it works very nice.
Yes, it is possible. But no, we aren't doing it at this time. Why? Such a query would require a join between two tables that are tens of millions of rows, each. The code within zKB is designed in such a way to avoid joins as much as possible. Joins are what almost killed Eve-Kill before we implemented split tables, and these same joins are still trying to kill Eve-Kill even with the split tables.
Please note I did say "at this time". This might happen in the future as we discover better ways to do things and better database engines to work with that can handle the sheer size of our tables and the types of queries we throw at them.

Just an update on the things I've been doing. I've been regularly breaking the database looking for ways to bring down the size of our database. We're currently experiencing an issue where a table is only 5 gigs in size, but the indexes on that table is over 50 gigs in size! Crazy eh?
Also, I've figured out a method of reducing the zz_items table from 230m rows to less than a 1m rows with no data loss whatsoever. That will reclaim a lot of space as well as make the website a fraction of a millisecond faster on each page request. I just need to code up the change and then convert the data.
What can I say, its the little things.

Some changes have been made that will make folks using the API happy. A new field has been added to the JSON that is returned, zkb, and this field contains points and totalValue as calculated by zKillboard.
At this time, only kills processed after I pushed the changes are affected. I haven't decided yet how to handle the other 19.7 million killmails. But don't worry I'll come up with something!

Some more fixes to the API were done last night. This includes removing apiv2 (sorry karbo, but it had issues), and a severe fix to the rate limiting we put on folks using the API. While working on the API I noticed someone hit the API 98 times in 1 second... they had figured out a workaround, and I went ahead and fixed that.
Every API request will include the header X-Bin-Seconds-Between-Request, which tells you how long to wait between each request. If you fail to wait this long, you'll be given an error message telling you that you're requesting too fast, and then you'll have to wait X-Bin-Seconds-Between-Request seconds again to make your next request.
Right now X-Bin-Seconds-Between-Request is set to 10 seconds, which is very reasonable and allows you to make 8,640 calls a day.
If anyone has any questions feel free to post them, I'll get back to you. Or, you can create a ticket on zkb if you'd like to be a bit more private.

Ah... well... apiv2 was going to limit you to about 5k requests per 24 hour period, api v1 gives you 8,640 requests per 24 hour period.

For bulk data gathering apiv1 is obviously better as you said. Do you have a policy on people trying to download all killmails ever? Do you try and stop them or do you permit it as long as they stick to request limits?
I've modified the code to allow 8,640 requests per day at any rate you want. Same limits as before, just not as limiting, heh...
If someone wants to download all our killmails via the API they are more than welcome to do so, we have no policy for or against it. Its all there for anyone to use, we believe in being open about it. However, we aren't going to provide a dump of the killmails, they'll have to use the API. At 1.6 million mails per day it'll take them a couple of weeks, they'll just have to be patient :) Various projects I enjoy putting my time into: http://zkillboard.com | http://evewho.com | http://eve-kill.net | http://evechatter.com | http://skillq.net |

Thank you!
At this time you risk missing some if they are inserted out of order. I don't like it, you don't like it, but it is what it is at the moment. The data that handles *when* we got the kill is stored separately from the data that stores when the kill happened, and the size of the tables prevents joins to execute in a timely manner.

No indexes are going to be removed - that would make some things worse. I am looking at columns that can be removed and the information can be used pulled from JSON.

As it is, I would have to extend the IGB window (from my current ~50% of the screen width) over 2/3rds of my client's screen (1920x1080) to get the condensed list, which would however obscure large parts of vital information windows on the screen. The long list, however, requires a lot of scrolling, which is not ideal either. Another thing that I don't really cannot really convince myself to like is the killmail window itself. There's the same problem as with the long list view: If the browser window is too narrow, you have the items in the ship listed first and then the involved pilots in the kill - which again requires a lot of scrolling or extending the browser to over 2/3rds of my screen size. is it possible to condense the design quite a bit so that less space is required to display all the information and that less empty space is displayed between the list entries? I'd appreciate it a lot if this long list view was not necessary to be triggered if the browser window is not wide enough just because there is so much empty space to be displayed. 
A lot of your complaints are because of our design choice to use Bootstrap, it gets finicky sometimes. With that said, I am revisiting a lot of the layouts on many pages and attempting to condense them somewhat.

The implants are figured out on the fly since its all pretty simple and an implant can only fit into one slot anyway. CCP doesn't provide any information on where they actually were except that they were plugged into your head.
For these older killmails, the fitting on your ship, however, just says this stuff was with your ship. It doesn't say whether it was fit or not, or in what order they were fit, etc. We've purposely left code that decides all of that information out because it is complicated and error prone, and!, newer killmails include the information for said layouts.

No need to reset your whole database. Execute this command in your database to reset the feed

This will reset the feeds to start fetching from the beginning.

Yes, we could do this. However it would get pretty stale since we'd see the same top ships over that length of time. Top ships tend to be titans, and while its nice to see a 5 titans killed in the last 3 weeks, we might want to see that noob ibis with seventeen thousand plex in their hold. Or something like that. Everyone has a different preference and a week is a good solid compromise for just about everyone.

If you weren't logged in when you added the API there is no easy way to remove it other than to invalidate it via CCP's API tools. If you were logged in, simply remove it from your API list in your account settings.

Bugger, I forgot to post about this here. Your kills are coming back, just slowly as they are being CREST verified.

Trying to do a pull via groovy, tried pulling directly to json via a jsonSlurper as well as just pulling raw text from the website. Using the URL

Returns the script a 406
Whereas visiting the URL via a browser results in a return as expected, any insight?
Edit - Seems this was caused due to not adding accept-encoding : Gzip to my header (Seriously couldn't find this in the docs, found this in a reddit post...) now I just get nothing returning, yay.
Correct, the 406 is a custom error code for the API. Believe it or not it knocked down a full terabyte of outgoing traffic per month when I implemented that. Sorry its missing from the doc, I'll get that fixed up.

I really, really hate that I had to implement this and the reason: some folks were hitting the API with the same request every 15 seconds despite absolutely nothing changing in that 15 seconds. Yea, granted, nothing changed, but that's what the 304 is for.
Btw, 304 means use the cached version of your request, browsers understand this, but most CLI tools do not. It is up to the programmer to make their tool understand how to handle a 304 response code :)

I made some changes to the API the other day which I haven't documented yet (they aren't complete), when they are complete you will be able to drill down in a more intuitive manner (I hope).
To obtain the data you're looking for:
https://zkillboard.com/character/276758740/kills/victim/group/29/
In short, using your character's kill look for victims of the group 29
Please keep in mind these changes are ongoing and need a few more tweaks. Then the documentation will receive a full over haul.

About that: The zKB API seems to behave strange itself. Take the reply to this request: https://zkillboard.com/api/corporationID/98221864/api-only/startTime/201307061931/orderDirection/asc/
This request should get a list of kills starting at 2013-07-06 19:31:00 and it should be sorted in ascending order. But when looking at the actual output, the first kill is from 2013-06-27 06:34:00, which is BEFORE the start date. In fact, the last kill is from 2013-07-06 21:31:00, which, corrected for possible timezone differences/DST is exactly the start time. So it seems starttime is confused with endTime by zKB. Also, if the sorting modifier is left out completely, the startTime is ignored completely and kills from 2015 are returned. https://zkillboard.com/api/corporationID/98221864/api-only/startTime/201307061931/
If I'm not missing something, there seems to be a problem on zKB's side? Since the EDK zKB fetcher relies on the results getting returned in ascending order, sorted by timestamp, it somewhat misbehaves as well. And granted, it isn't equipped to handle HTTP 304 as of yet. Kind Regards, Salvoxia

I just wanted to ask if you have updated the documentation yet? And if so, point me to the info please? The link you gave me for pods did work for a few days. But now it just says exception: $elemMatch needs an Object. I figured I would wait a while and see if you had a chance to fix it. But since it's been almost a month, I figured maybe I should let you know just in case you're unaware of the bug, it can be added to you list. When looking at https://zkillboard.com/character/276758740/stats/ and clicking on the Capsules link I still get directed to https://zkillboard.com/character/276758740/group/29/ which doesn't show just the capsules. Do you have updates on this?
Hey, you're welcome, and a big thank you for putting up with me for making all the changes live :P
I wasn't aware of that bug until I saw your post and did some digging. It's all fixed up now!
As for https://zkillboard.com/character/276758740/group/29/ it is working properly, it's showing all kills involving that character and a capsule, whether the char was the victim or not.

All API requests are cached for one hour by CloudFlare, could be you are hitting one cache server but your server is hitting another. Waiting an hour for them to match makes sense too since the CloudFlare is instructed to cache api requests for one hour.

Erik Kalkoken wrote:Hey Squizz,
I am currently building a PHP script which fetches statistics data for a group of characters using multi curl.
Almost every time the API request fails for some characters with a curl SSL_CONNECT_ERROR(35). But it only fails for some request of the group (about 20 chars) within one multi curl session and for different chars.
Here is an example from my log: (time is UTC+1) [2016-01-22 12:46:31] [Error] Utility.php: Curl error on url 'https://zkillboard.com/api/stats/characterID/92910441/': 'SSL_CONNECT_ERROR(35)'
Curl verbose only gives this info as far as I can see: " Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to zkillboard.com:443 "
I am currently compensating by just repeating failed requests. However this is pretty slow and I would prefer to help fix the root cause Can you maybe see something on your end? Any idea what the root cause might be?
I'm not even sure how to recreate this issue. I've tried calling that particular API with curl using a couple different methods (command line, php) and had no issues at all. My only guess is you may be hitting the API too quickly and Cloudflare's algorithms think you're up to no good and is shutting you down somehow, therefore returning the error. That is just a guess though.

zkillboard is the official location, beta.eve-kill.net came about from Karbowiak and I working together, but some differences between us prompted me to stop working with him.
Older killboards, such as Battleclinic, eve-kill, and the beta.eve-kill.net that you see, have a history of receiving invalid killmails made up by players. These killmails show such things as titans being killed that weren't actually killed, or an Ibis being killed with 3000 large towers in its cargo. These fake killmails were a pain to deal with.
The difference in kills is because I've taken the time to CREST verify every single kill on zkillboard.com. You can be assured that every kill on zkillboard.com has actually happened. So, while you might see better stats on beta.eve-kill.net, they might not be 100% accurate. I'll leave it up to you though to use whichever killboard you prefer

Killmails do _NOT_ automatically show up on zKillboard. You have to have an API key, post the killmail via CREST, or sign into zKillboard and allow zKillboard to pull your killmails. Keep in mind, that API and signing in only pull kills on which you are the victim or get the final blow.

Not everyone reads Reddit, so I'm trying to get in the habit of posting updates here too.
Points were revamped again and all stats were recalculated. The new point interation seems to be much more welcomed than the previous iteration, and for good resaon.
Solo kills now include any kills that also have NPCs on them as long as there is only one (1) actual player on the killmail.
Also, the tracker system has been revamped. The buggy drop down menu in the account settings has been removed and replaced by clicking a + or - on each of a character's, corporation's, or alliance's overview page. A much simpler system imo.
Lots of other little things have been done within the code too, but nothing too big - just minor enhancements here and there.

Yea, we've had discussions on this. Unfortunately this is how CCP reports the killmail. It doesn't specify how many were originally part of the group or how many were actually destroyed. There are too many assumptions to be made to give an accurate number here.
Samuel Sachs wrote:Hello, Another thing is the fact that NPC losses show up on zKillboard, i think i am not alone when i say this is something i do not like to see, either zKillboard shows also NPC kills or nothing from that, its just free intel for ratting systems, and it is pain in the ass for killboard numbers for those who take care of them. Maybe it can be possible to give users more control to change settings for this before anything will show up on zKillboard?
For many years NPC killmails didn't show up on killboards. Then some people started showing them, and asked that zkillboard start showing them too. After about a year of numerous requests from various people, I decided why the hell not. Eve is a game about explosions, we should all be proud of our little explosions :D
Also, NPC kills do not count in stats on zkillbaord, so your killboard numbers only reflect PVP stats.

=IMPORTXML("https://zkillboard.com/api/group/463/losses/xml/","//victim/@shipTypeID")
and this worked till a couple days ago, if i use just the url and put it into the browser it works but sadly not longer in docs there is always an error message about parsing not possible, idk was there a recent change on formatting or what can be the problem?
Nothing has changed. Not sure why GoogleDocs would complain, but they can be a bit testy at times when it comes to XML

I'm red-green color blind and it's extremely difficult to see the difference between kills and loses. It would be so cool if there was an option for alternative color background for kills/loses (green/red).
Log in if you haven't aleady, then in the top right click the dropdown and select Account. On that screen you can choose from several different themes, the default one is cyborg, the rest are varying colors. Others with color blindness have had success with other themes.
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

I posted that kill several times without any result. Is it normal ? Is it a bug ? Thanks for your help.
I see it listed, maybe you were just looking at a bad time and seeing cached results. Check Sep 3, 2016 at 18:53, you'll see it in your kill history there.
