As mentioned in the Patch Notes, the EVE Data Export Project has been deployed.
The EVE Data Export project will allow players to view information about the game world, their characters, corporations and more. Through the use of the API key process (EVE-specific documentation available here players will be able to export the following:
- Character(s) on your account,
- Current data on character skill training,
- Character skill sheet, including trained skills, implants, etc.,
- The EVE skill tree, including all published skills, descriptions, training modifiers and times, etc.,
- Corporation information (corporation details, members, base, date of join, etc.,
- Wallet balance (corporation & personal, including divisions),
- Wallet journal log (corporation & personal, including divisions),
- Market transaction log (corporation & personal, including divisions), and
- Solar system sovereignty.
Documentation for the API key process can be found here. More information will be added to the API page and document in the future.

woot. I've checked out the stuff on the character sheet, looks good. Although I was using CSV and a couple of them appeared to have a column missing or something. Columns were off. Didn't have time to research further as I'm at work. ---

Would love to know more. They seem fine on my side. Make sure you have the columns properly expanded, as by default Excel makes them small and it can look weird/like something's missing.

Edited by: Sylfamas on 21/06/2007 15:16:09 wouldn't it be nice if Eve Online had something like a page where you can search a character and see all the information about it, or a corporation, etc just like you can do in-game ? I don't think CCP has such a page...i'm just saying.... :) If such a page exists, i am sorry for my post i am posting this here because this can be possible with this data-export API -----------------Signature-------------------------

In the Corporate Wallet export, there are headers for date, refID and accountID. It looks like the accountID is not included in the data. The data appears to be refID then refType. (edit: This is from the Character page on myeve, not through the API, which I haven't tried.)
So far that's the only problem I've seen. Otherwise it's nice to see what I've wasted all my ISK on. I second that 'woot'.

This is really quite excellent! I can't wait to start making some useful applications with this!
In any case, I did notice something: In the XML version of the Journal, there is an ID number that corresponds with the type of transaction. Could we have a table that corresponds these numbers with concrete descriptions? Thanks!

The docs seem to be missing documentation for /account/Characters.xml.aspx which is needed to get the characterID for characters associated with a userID.
Something like: /account/Characters.xml.aspx Returns the characters with their characterID and corporation with corporationID for each character associated with a userID (account).
Method Parameters namedata type description/purpose userID number user account number apiKey stringer user authentication token
Method Sample Output <eveapi version="1"> <currentTime>2007-06-22 04:57:06</currentTime> <result> <rowset name="characters" key="characterID"> <row name="NetMage" characterID="########" corporationName="State War Academy" corporationID="1000167"/> </rowset> </result> <cachedUntil>2007-06-22 05:57:06</cachedUntil> </eveapi>

That information is in the Generic Data method /eve/RefTypes.xml.aspx

this is going to change the face of eve metagaming for the better in my opinion. spies will no longer be able to falsify data. this is pretty awesome.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a webservice to poll semi-static data from? Use the expires-at headers to indicate when it is fresh and so forth.
It'd limit the need for huge downloads in one go. A simple HEAD request could save a lot of time.

What programs do you guys use to compile this raw data into more useful data(sorted and added together etc)?

So far it looks like people are programming their own stuff in php/asp/python, java, c/c++/c#
However I think you should be able to use ex. the data from the CSV functions directly in Excel ----- http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online ----- Top wishes: - No daily downtime - Faster training on sisi - Updated data export - Speedup IGB table rendering |

Edited by: zibelthurdos on 24/06/2007 04:22:26 can we please get the balances as CSV like the journal and transactions?
it would be greatly appreciated

Suggested improvement to /char/SkillInTraining.xml.aspx
Please add one more data item, that tells how much longer it is till completion. Days hours and minutes would be nice, but hours with decimal for minutes would be fine as well.
Or a way to set the timezone for the date-time displays. Right now it is displayed in GMT (I think) and every time I look at it, my brain goes to mush trying to determine when that is here (CDT)...
Otherwise, thanks for the implementation of this API. I look forward to managing things a little better with these tools.
Also, if you haven't done one yet, another data export would be nice. I'm off to make sure you haven't done one for Rev 2 yet...

This API is awesome, thank you for implementing it.
I have noticed one (apparent?) bug so far:
When accessing older entries of the character or corporation transaction log as CSV, I sometimes get the following error, even if it was a programmatic second call to the wallet asking for the rest of the log:
# error 100: Expected beforeTransID = 0: wallet not previously loaded.
All I'm doing is the transaction walking as described in the documentation. The error vanishes if I re-try often enough (2-5 attempts).
I also have one feature request. As the transaction and journal stuff will probably most often be used to keep a mirror of the transactions locally (in an SQL DB in my case), it would be really nice to have an afterTransID parameter in addition to or instead of the beforeTransID. If not given, it dumps the 1000 oldest entries. If given, it dumps all entries after that transaction (or at most 1000 entries since then, if you care about the bandwidth).

Very good job. This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for us third-party developers. Thank you, Garthagk and all others involved.
As Arkady suggests above, a helpful addition to WalletJournal transactions would be an afterRefID parameter. It's a shame to have to waste bandwidth downloading 1000 wallet entries when all you're after are the most recent few.
Keep up the good work! |

API is great, but what about static data export: items, ships, information for maps, agents? Thats the only thing I'm missing

Very much agree. Neither the Item Database, nor the static data export are up to date, and need to be very badly. ------------------- Brainstorm ideas to make EVE better:->http://eve.stormingbrains.org/index.php

For pictures check here. For a DB export, I think Chruker is currently working on one.

Not at the current moment, since I still have hopes for an official one from CCP :-)
The number of new items in Revelations 2 is huge, and would probably take as long to input as it would take CCP to hire a monkey, train it in database management, and then have it make the database export.
However I've been thinking of making an item database editing system which would make it a bit easier to keep it updated. And with a bit of access and revision control it would even be possible for more people to work on it. ----- http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online ----- Top wishes: - No daily downtime - Faster training on sisi - Updated data export - Speedup IGB table rendering |

One more idea: Would it be possible to get an API function to send a mail to a character of the authenticated account (so, no spam)? :-]
Would be very nice to send reminder to a character, or for a web form contact formula, etc.
