CCP Phantom C C P C C P Alliance 7226	Posted - 2016.11.08 18:41:20 - [1] - Quote The EVE Swagger Interface (ESI) is a new framework developed by Team Tech Co to underpin the new ESI API. This new blog from Team Tech Co. will dive a little deeper into the design and technical specifics of ESI, going to get into the base design of ESI to explain a few basic principles of what's going on behind the scenes.

Phrynohyas Tig-Rah Black Cat And White Cat 14	Posted - 2016.11.08 19:15:58 - [2] - Quote This new API is awesome. Still where should we report bugs in it? F.e. Quote: GET /corporations/{corporation_id}/icons/ returns Quote: { "px64x64": "https://http://image.eveonline.com/Corporation/98446724_64.png", "px128x128": "https://http://image.eveonline.com/Corporation/98446724_128.png", "px256x256": "https://http://image.eveonline.com/Corporation/98446724_256.png" } Mean, icon url's are misformed
NUBIARN Brutal Ballerinas 27	Posted - 2016.11.08 20:01:06 - [3] - Quote great stuff, just started looking through the documentation for the endpoints, awesome stuff CCP. at last a api that doesn`t require a crystal ball to start working with, I'm impressed. and it looks likes the SSO work I did will still fundamentally work so cool, looking forward to getting to grips with this. one happy camper here. oh did I mention the "try it" button which will create the endpoint link required, oh yes very nice, trial and error for devs gone. link to documentation in case anyone missed it

Minerva Arbosa Astrocomical Warped Intentions 26	Posted - 2016.11.08 22:43:10 - [6] - Quote Yeay!! Another new API system which will be like the last one of very little documentation. How about you all finish one project before starting on another please? I know documentation isn't terribly great to be writing, but a little would go along way with CREST.

Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Tactical-Retreat 2095	Posted - 2016.11.08 23:53:17 - [9] - Quote Best of luck for this "new" (kinda not but you know what I mean) project! Eagerly waiting for the unleashing of the full ESI potential :) Seriously though, you mentionned cool new features with a special attention put into not breaking the game... But what about existing XML API features that are already breaking the game? For instance, the Silo contents endpoint impact on the viability of mobile Siphons. Can we expect this endpoint to be ported into the ESI API? Will there be some kind of game designer oversight of new ESI features to prevent them from altering too much the viability of gameplay features?

Also, have your first like haha haha, thanks for the like ;) we are working closely with Five-O to ensure any new ESI endpoints are cleared by them first. The feedback process so far has been amazing, very thorough and well reasoned responses to any questions/concerns we've have when putting together these new specs, based on XML and CREST. as for your specific case with the silos and siphons, that's something we'll have to look at again when we transition that endpoint. from my point of view, I'm more interested in the types and structures of the response and request. the data that's actually returned, and the "how" that data is returned, isn't really interesting to ESI, and is something ESI tries to abstract away from (the "how" could change at any time, without ESI being affected).

Wayne Donne Royal Oaks Glen Oaks Oakwood Oaks Country Club All My Friends Are Ded 1	Posted - 2016.11.09 03:52:33 - [11] - Quote Is it possible to post a list of end-points that are going to be in the final release? Are you guys going to add a way to query the id number of more than just alliances, since you need an id number for most GETs.

Well right now, you can call: https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/regions/ https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/inventory/groups/ and cascade into basically everything from there. I am curious if that kind of luxury will still exist in the new api.
YeuxVerts Belle Viziam Amarr Empire 9	Posted - 2016.11.09 09:28:00 - [14] - Quote https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/#/ lists a lot of endpoints, but the dev blog seems to declare this as a work-in-progress. How much of this new API is operationnal ? Can we switch to it already ? Also, AWESOME. The above message presents my opinions on the topic at hand. If there is a conflict between my views and reality, consider reality to be correct until proven otherwise.
Golden Gnu EVE University Ivy League 192	Posted - 2016.11.09 10:40:11 - [15] - Quote Thank you for this new API. I welcome the change, swagger makes everyone life easier, even if it kills pretty much all the API libraries. I can barely wait until you finish all the endpoints I need. /universe/structures/{structure_id}/ actually returns some of the citadels locations, but, not all... Would it be possible to return all of them? Unresolved locations is really frustrating for jEveAssets users...

Althalus Stenory Flying Blacksmiths 88	Posted - 2016.11.09 12:57:22 - [16] - Quote Got few questions too : What is the purpose of the Live tag with all the other operations there ? Showing what's really implemented / finished ? Just wondering, is the list of scope in the securityDefinitions complete ? I believe that it is, but as I don't really know swagger yet... :) . Will we have to register an application to use the SSO again (like for CREST) ? Or do we just have to use the infos from the securityDefinitions object ? Anyway, this is really cool that CCP now use a standard to expose its API :D (especially with a complete doc <3) Thanks, and I really hope it will grow fast and fine with everything from both XML API and CREST
Raw Matters Brilliant Starfire 50	Posted - 2016.11.09 13:03:34 - [17] - Quote It is nice to see that this API has at least the basic documentation, however there are a lot of "Getting started" infos missing. Like: "What's a character-ID and how do I get one?" A few examples would be really helpful here. Not having a rate limit is a mistake. As someone who has developed a few bigger REST APIs I guarantee that you will have to change that in the future. I'd recommend to do it earlier than too late. It doesn't have to be limiting to the standard user, but there just has to be one for the "stupid" user that sends 20k requests/minute because "polling is the best way to get accurate data". What I am really missing form this API are market price data. I can of course get those by running over thousands of accounts and their wallet, but then having this as a simple and clean API would be useful. At least the major trade-hubs would be great for price calculation tools.

Jack Bladder EVE Trader PnL 0	Posted - 2016.11.11 17:49:42 - [30] - Quote With the XML API, I can retrieve the character information, and most importantly the character id, using a key id and verification code. How do I do this in this brand new world? The characters/ urls already expect the {character_id} to return a response, so I must obtain it from somewhere else. But where? How?

Dirk Morbho Mindstar Technology Goonswarm Federation 59	Posted - 2016.11.12 17:14:22 - [32] - Quote Please make sure not to repeat the mistakes of the past. 1) ASPX won't cut it: run it on unix, not windows (I've blatantly made the assumption you are running the XML API on a windows box since it's ASPX ) 2) CREST doesn't give you the grouptype IDs when you query the ItemtypeID. Cross-referencing becomes lotsa extra work. 3) Help the server load out by using a caching proxy server in front of the main server that respects the cache timers. Varnish Cache is in my mind this moment. Looking forward to the new gizmo!! Keep up the good work lads!

Legedric Striker DRUCKWELLE Evolution 68	Posted - 2016.11.17 19:05:49 - [34] - Quote Added Issues #93, #94 and #95 to github. All issues are about character information that's absolutely necessary to do skill training calculations. With the current state of ESI they are simply impossible as it lacks things like character attributes, current active set of implants and the new clone state.

Pizza Thief The Price Of Freedom Get Off My Lawn 5	Posted - 2016.11.18 08:36:10 - [35] - Quote o7 CCP & Independant Devs, Just wanted to bring a small issue (I think) to attention. Currently the Swagger client at https://esi.tech.ccp.is/dev/ and https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/ show "GET /corporations/{corporation_id}/roles/ \| Get Corporation Members" when I assume the part after the vertical pipe is supposed to read "Get Corporation Roles". On that same entry the SSO scope says "esi-corporations.read_corporation_membership.v1" where I expect it is supposed to read "esi-corporations.read_corporation_roles.v1". Hope this helps! o7 Pizza Thief
Pizza Thief The Price Of Freedom Get Off My Lawn 5	Posted - 2016.11.18 08:40:54 - [36] - Quote Sorry to spam the forum but I had another question, On https://esi.tech.ccp.is/legacy/ there are multiple functions including "GET /alliances/{alliance ID}/" that are labeled as deprecated, however they still exist in https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/ and https://esi.tech.ccp.is/dev/ so I'm wondering if this is something we should ignore? Thanks! o7 Pizza Thief

Michdelle Arnoux Dot.Inc TRUE VINE 0	Posted - 2016.11.19 18:59:18 - [40] - Quote I had written my entire app in the new system (being new to Eve) and am now finding all the market APIs are no longer live (with no idea when they'll return). Is there any way to find out this information? If this was planned, would be good to have a spot to go to determine when APIs will be up / down and when to start relying on them.

Alt Two Caldari Capital Construction Inc. 135	Posted - 2016.11.19 22:09:11 - [41] - Quote I'm in the same position. I had just finished my market app late at night, and when I woke up the next day I found that they had vanished and I had to rewrite the whole thing for CREST instead. There's even a (not surprisingly very empty) thread just below this one where CCP said they would announce breaking changes to the API. Deleting several endpoints seems like a breaking change to me.
Kentaro Kawaii Black Aces Swords of Damocles 1	Posted - 2016.11.19 22:51:09 - [42] - Quote wow I spent half the day looking for the market endpoints, I knew I saw them earlier this week and was looking for where they went, but they're gone... and no mention of what happened to them until I saw these posts here...
Dax Buchanan Pandemic Horde Inc. Pandemic Horde 4	Posted - 2016.11.19 23:14:37 - [43] - Quote +1 to writing my app using the new API only to have the endpoints removed. Doesn't give much confidence in using this API if major breaking changes like this will be made without notice.

Luzz Achell NextGen Industries 0	Posted - 2016.11.21 02:05:44 - [46] - Quote I noticed that the market end point disappeared on Friday(or Thursday?) and reappeared later that day and then disappeared again on Saturday. Maybe it's just being switched off for technical issues. Would be great to have it noted somewhere to keep everyone updated.

I did notice as I was testing Saturday I started to get more and more errors so maybe it's just being switched off for technical issues. Would be great to have it noted somewhere to keep everyone updated. Unfortunately the swagger thread is thread locked. So no way to know when or if they are getting closer to getting it to work. But it's hard for me to write semantic algorithms when there's no pattern to properly import the data from. I'm a huge fan of json, so that probably aggrivates me even more because I don't want to touch xml. To be fair, I know where incredibly lucky that CCP even considers 3rd party developers this way. There are lots of games that don't have the most basic of interfaces.

There are some end points that will respond with a 500 error, just wait half a second and then make the call again. I did write loops into my script to reattempt the call if the HTTP Status Code is not 200. Generally the second call is successful and if not the second then the third. I have never had to go beyond the third call unless they took the endpoint down for maintenance, but then I just wrote a script that disables that call if it is down. It is good practice to have a fall back in your code. ESI is still in development to a degree and is actively being worked on. What you have done should not be look at from the standpoint that ESI is unrealiable, from the viewpoint that it is forcing you to take the extra steps to ensure that your code is more reliable. One should never rely on a single API if there are other options available. If able, code the fall back. All this does is make your application that much better.

But where can I find which type id is which item? Also where can I find let's say recipe info? Or skill infos? And the last one is the market prices endpoint: what does that average_price mean? is it the average of selling and buying prices of all region? Is the only way to get the current price is to get all orders then order them by price? Thanks in advance.

I suggest join the tweetfleet slack and subscibe to the ESI Channel. A lot of questions can be answered there. As far as the questions you answered here, these are mainly my personal opinion Q. Which Type ID is which item? A. GET /universe/types/{type_id}/ Q. Also where can I find let's say recipe info? Or skill infos? A. Not available via ESI right now. If you think it should be, please post an issue on GitHub at the link below. A lot of us keep a local copy of the SDE. At Least those of us who have project that reside on a server. I don't know if this is possible for you. But it make it a lot faster to retrieve static data such as those asked in this question. Q. Market Prices A. I apologize, I am unable to answer this question since my project does not interact with the market place endpoint Like I recommended earlier in my post. Join Tweetfleet Slack. - Info is in this forum I believe, but I know that Steve Roukin hosts the registration page - Subscribe to the Github Issues page. Your inbox will get rapes every weekday with emails, but you will learn lots about what is going on with ESI and how to work best with.

Undefined Destiny Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 10	Posted - 2017.03.08 14:09:03 - [69] - Quote Given the Calendar API end-points are cached server side, and return loads of duplicates for the same event (yes, it seems broken? https://github.com/ccpgames/esi-issues/issues/216) , can we please have more filtering parameters. I'm open to other ideas, but here is my use-case and problem with ESI currently: At the moment to get the entries for your corp and alliance for a given time range (e.g. "my corp and alliance event for the last two weeks), one has to: Call "/characters/{character_id}/calendar/ " Get the earliest "event_id" from the JSON returned. Either (walk forward from a known event) or; Walk backwards one request every >5 seconds at the time calling "/characters/{character_id}/calendar/?from_event" for "event_id - (X * )" until you find something at or before your start date. terate over all responses calling "/characters/{character_id}/calendar/{event_id}/" for each (unique) event_id. Check the "owner_type" is "corporation" or "alliance" (Optional) sanity check the owner_id matches the expected corpID / allianceID. Repeat 4->6 walking forwards on "/characters/{character_id}/calendar/?from_event" for the latest event_id seen until you reach the 'end date' of the range you care about. Can we please have options to: Suppress duplicate event_id's from "/characters/{character_id}/calendar/" An "EventScope" parameter which allows us to only pull down (Corp \| Alliance \| Character \| All). A "FromDate" (and ideally a "ToDate"). A "maxResults" and 'page' parameter allowing a decent number (e.g. 250) events. and iterating over more if the query results in more than maxResults hits. EXAMPLE: /v2/characters/{character_id}/calendar/?scopes=Corporation,Alliance&fromDate=2017-02-20&toDate=2017-03-05&maxResults=10&page=2&noDupliates=yes Would get a only the calendar entries owned by the Corp or Alliance of the character (without duplicate event_ids), between the two dates given, returning entries 11-20 out of however many may have found.

Kelath Erebus Galactic Imperium 2	Posted - 2017.03.27 23:15:11 - [75] - Quote Hoping to get an actual dev to confirm this, because so far the only people who answer the question have been other players (unless another player has a link to a dev post that says as such)... When I tell others they seem clueless and ask for a dev post to backup the claims, which I haven't been able to find... In the dev post back on 2016-11-08 (https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/introducing-esi/) it says "Once we replicate all current CREST and XML API functionality in ESI, we will be shutting down both services." however people have been saying that player level data is going to be stripped out of the new API, which doesn't sound like all current functionality... meaning... No longer seeing what characters are linked to an account. (people use that for low hanging fruit security) No longer knowing if someone is Omega or Alpha (people use that for skill calculations, low hanging fruit security, etc.) No longer knowing when an account is going to expire (people use that for off-line subscription monitoring) etc... So can a dev to answer if these rumors are true because like I mentioned above, the last thing I've seen posted by the devs on this is "Once we replicate all current CREST and XML API functionality in ESI, we will be shutting down both services." and every time someone talks about it the devs seem to ignore it like they don't want to answer the question because of what that could mean to everyone. Beyond that, ESI looks like an awesome API, looking forward to more end-points being added! Thanks!

David Davaham Athanos Industries Cohortes Triarii 20	Posted - 2017.03.30 05:18:01 - [77] - Quote Kelath Erebus The answer to you all of your points is no. Yes they will eventually turn off the Crest and XML API's and that will likely be when ESI has reach parity with them, BUT some things that WILL be different about ESI is that account t level data will just not be included in the ESI. This is CCP's domain and that is the judgement call they have made. So what are some methods of getting around this? 1. There no longer a way to detect how many characters are on an account. And unfortunately no work around d has been thought of nor will it be. 2. Skill calculation based on Account Type. Give the user the freedoms to flip flop between the two to see the affects on his skill queue. In addition, implants are not available Le either, so build a page where the user can input the implants that he currently fly has in. 3. As Car Hark was pointed out, there are no account expirations anymore. Just downgrades to Alpha status. So this point is no longer relevant. You ask for links to all this information. My answer is a multi part If you want to know this information like I do, monitor Reddit. That is prolly your best source of information. Get on Slack and Join tweetfleet and then join the the rooms #devfleet & #esi - The devs are here more than on the forums Monitor twitter, YouTube, hit up a CSM, etc. Fly safe and o7 Developer of EVEmail
ENFEMUS DEALER Vibez Ltd TRUE VINE 0	Posted - 2017.04.24 22:01:06 - [78] - Quote Hey everyone, I am a programming student and I am about to graduate. I need to make some projects to build up a portfolio of work so I can apply to various tech companies. There is something I have always wanted to build that is probably simply o most experienced developers. I want to make an app with the EVE API that will pull all the BPOs available and cross references them to what a corporation owns. That way they would know what to buy and stop buying duplicates. I am new to API stuff and the best way to learn is to jump in with both feet. I have basic to intermediate experience with XML and JSON. Because the school I go to is funded by Microsoft we are taught C# and SQL alongside JAVA, javascript, HTML, XML, UML, CSS, JSON, AJAX. But not PHP or Python... :-( I guess I am asking my bigger bros of programming what would be the best way to go about this? Can I still build a decent app in C# using the API from EVE. I tried looking at the GitHub S.e.A.T. (Simple Eve Api Tool) GitHub API tool But I do not understand it yet. Any help is much appreciated. Enfemus Dealer
