Answer: none! Good one. I assume your corp is pretty irrelevant, otherwise it's full of spies and you have no way of knowing if they're on the take or not from another corp or alliance.

Pok Nibin Filial Pariahs 567	Posted - 2015.03.03 22:09:46 - [33] - Quote Aralyn Cormallen wrote: What you need to know about API's is: - They can see your skills. They cannot change your training. - They can see your assets and wallet, and they can see who you have given money to in the past. They cannot take any of those assets or send them on to anyone else. - They can read your mails. They cannot read mails you have deleted, and they cannot send mails in your name. - They can see your contacts. They cannot change any of your personal contacts or add any personal contacts (although, if you join, you will inherit corp/alliance contacts) If you are giving your API to anyone, you have to ask yourself:.. I'll ask myself whatever the F I want. I'm certainly not going to consult YOU to find out what I should ask my SELF. I find this attitude to be overbearing and useless...which are the two traits most in common with CEOs that demand full APIs. I don't want anyone to read my wallet. Why? It has nothing to do with PRIVACY. It has to do with, the information is useless. CEOs that think they're getting spy information from seeing member's wallets are IDIOTS. I don't want an IDIOT for a CEO, so I don't want my CEO looking at my wallet. I know that makes sense, but does it make sense to YOU? (I seriously doubt it.) I do not want my CEO reading my contacts; none of my contacts. They are MY contacts. That's why they're called "MY CONTACTS." This informations is of no use to a CEO and can be hilariously manipulated by a SPY to create any impression a SPY wishes to create. If a CEO doesn't know this, then he/she is too dumb to be a CEO and I don't WANT a DUMB CEO so I don't want my CEO looking at MY CONTACTS! Is that too SUBTLE FOR YOU? If anyone is asking for your API to be in their corp, you have to ask yourself, "Do I want to associate myself with people that are this STUPID?" Dont fight it; Rejoin your Amarrian patriarchs; You know you want to.

Actually the corp is my own and all the drama that accompanies applying for a large corp (not to mention the political drama you deal with once you get in) is the main reason I don't even bother.
Commander Spurty Dimension Door We need wards. 1429	Posted - 2015.03.04 00:39:01 - [36] - Quote No Class wrote: Wow, thanks for the honest responses. I feel allot better about it now. It's a READ ONLY view of your characters. The purpose is often to allow for automation of access to secure resources such as forums, communications and 3rd party tools. Now, if you need to 'hide' something from recruiters, you're probably already too much effort for any entity with over 100 characters in it.

Serene Repose 2325	Posted - 2015.03.04 01:22:41 - [38] - Quote War Kitten wrote: Vimsy Vortis wrote: Loraine Gess wrote: Pok Nibin wrote: Full APIs are unnecessary, and any CEO asking for one demonstrates a lack of knowledge about the game sufficient to call his or her competence into question. Should a corp ask it of you, take that in consideration and ask yourself if you really want to be part of a group if their leadership is so...questionable. So apparently everyone better than you, including all the large nullsec organizations, are incompetent. Of course. If you think it's necessary to view someone's industry information and faction warfare stats when recruiting them then yes, you are incompetent. 70% of the information available via the API is totally irrelevant to a recruiter, but they still ask for all of those boxes to be ticked anyway. That is dumb, you shouldn't ask people for a bunch of information you don't want and don't intend to even look at. It just makes people suspicious of your intentions. If the information is irrelevant, why are you intent on hiding it? Industrial activities can tell your leaders whether or not you're building cap/supercaps and selling them to enemies. Faction war stats can indicate whether you're familiar with lowsec. Just because you haven't done any recruiting and don't think it is useful information doesn't mean it isn't. ... and for large alliances, the API is the best way to keep tabs on hundreds or thousands of people. An active API key is used to authenticate you on forums, teamspeak, jabber, mumble, and various other tools that your group might offer. It's going to be non-negotiable for most serious corps and alliances in the game to maintain an active API key. But if you don't want to be a member of a large organized group, that's entirely your choice, and you can hide all your dirty secrets about faction warfare and how many scourge missiles you've built in the last 3 months. Please. Tell me you didn't say that. You need an API to tell if a corpy is selling capitals to the enemy? The only way this makes sense is if you AREN'T a CEO. Tell me, just how many people in this game can build caps? How many can build caps on the side - UNDETECTED? The best way to keep up with personnel in a large organization is by structural hierarchy and authority delegation. The best way to THINK you're doing all this is to monitor APIs and hallucinate. ...scourge missiles.....yeah...a lot of text you have, but no point. Treason never prospers. What is the reason? Why, if it prospers, none dare call it "treason."
Scipio Artelius The Vendunari End of Life 34302	Posted - 2015.03.04 01:47:43 - [39] - Quote Thora Zhubilai wrote: can i have API key from recruiters, directors or from CEO?... no! Have you ever asked? If you applied to join Vendo and we wanted to look at your API (we only use limited when we need them at all), then I'd have no problem handing over mine. None of the Directors or the CEO would have a problem with it. I'm sure we aren't unique in that regard. We know what people feel about being asked for an API. Only right that they be able to check us out as well. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

Yarda Black Militaris Industries Northern Coalition. 576	Posted - 2015.03.04 11:17:39 - [43] - Quote Not asking for a full API is only viable if you have nothing and don't plan on being anything more than a casual player with no real ties . The guy that stole 600 bill gave his full API, so its not even foolproof on its own. Thieves and spies can grow after recruiting them too. A proper spy will also take the time to manipulate what he can before submitting it. But just ignoring a full API simply means less work for spies and other "destructive" EVE careers. Or in other words; more spies and thieves. Trusting somebody in EVE you've played with for years is a calculated (and often rewarding) risk. Trusting someone you don't know is plain stupid. Welcome to EVE. For all ambitious folks out there only one option exists: Play the metagame. Get max intel about everything. That includes a simple thing like a full API. If you don't even take basic steps to try and get at least some intel and weed out the easiest to find scum, good luck protecting yourself against the more experienced ones ....

Kiandoshia Applied Anarchy SpaceMonkey's Alliance 2196	Posted - 2015.03.04 12:05:43 - [45] - Quote Claud Tiberius wrote: The reason Corps ask for full API is to mainly: - Find out where you are. - What you have been doing. - What your abilities are. - Tally corp statistics. - Other(?). So a great example of what this can do: If your corp is on deployment and your not helping out - the CEO can confirm this by looking at your API. I like to say, It's a great tool for people who inspire to be an NSA equivalent. You can see that in the corp window and potentially the corp wallet journal =p But yeah, most of the time, or in my experience, API keys are used to be able to tell what kind of ships you can fly, roles you can fill and that sort of stuff. Since a full API key pretty much shows everything except for private convos (I think), you can also use them to screen a character, figure out alts and all that.

Great, I can put an alt on this account into your corp for premium super easy awoxing opportunities and you'll never even know. Well I would if your corp was half way relevant.

It puts a barrier up between the corp and awoxers/theft.... my character has 75mil skill points all PvP orientated... im a good catch how do you know i havent awoxed before? i could go from corp to corp using my apparent skill to get in and no one would know different. With api check this toon would be useless after the first time.... assuming the recruiter knows what to look for lol. That means to do it requires a lot more effort and effectivly burning a toon... THAT is the biggest deffence for a corp DISCLAIMER! I have not and will not awox or steal from a corp... well... that can be proven No Worries

You talk people through registration processes for 60 different third party services and by the time you get to the API, you just think you know what.. just tick everything.
