Hi there!

First of all, this is a great effort and very useful. A quick question around starbases details though:

The method GetCorporationStarbaseDetail() does not take a starbase ID as parameter. How do you intend it to be used?

I have not got round to using the method yet, awaiting director flag, but will want to soonish. I can then help you complete the POS API if you want.

Originally by: Xaroth Brook

Seeing as I don't have time to test this right now (as there's no source to fiddle with and this work puter doesn't do .net 2.0) (stupid terminals).
How is the caching done, one generic file, or numerous files, and if so, what's the confinement of em (I'm trying to get some ideas of building a cache server for myself since I tend to swap places quite a bit)

---

Originally by: Sister Madeline

---

Also, if you try to look at one char's character sheet, then try to do the same for another character on the same account you will get the other char's sheet info, as it's saying "NotUpdatedCacheActive"

While at the same time i do see that the charactersheet file is named 'properly'.

---

Originally by: Sister Madeline

---

I tested this, if you supply an erroneous api key it will still return the 'proper' info, as such bypassing api security.. it might be useful to use encryption for this.

---

Originally by: La Dudette

---

I persistently get "ClientMissingCacheFile". I deleted the EveAI directory in application data, same result. (Quick edit: I probably misunderstood how the error handling is supposed to work. Do you want us to check api.Result first and then errors? And if the results is not Error, the "errors" are not really errors?)

---

Originally by: La Dudette

---

Ok, dropped this in too.. am I mistaken or do I have to check the error code against 5 different possible error conditions everytime I call the API now? :P

---

Originally by: La Dudette

---

As it stands, I still won't be able to use the starbase details API - I can't specify the starbase I want the details for. What I need to do is:

1. Get the starbase list
2. Go through the list, get the details for each tower (this will probably have to be a parameter for CorporationStarbaseDetails

---

Originally by: La Dudette

---

Also, you are right about the last updated.. in fact, the value that will actually be necessary is the cachedUntil that CCP supplies - because that indicates when they last updated the API results from the actual game engine. There is no way you or I can derive that, it has to be passed on.

Thx for those continuing fast responses :)

api = new EveApi (1, "", 1, 1000, false); // false is important

I've got a further problem now, actually.

Calling the API a few times today, files are not being retrieved. To be precise: accountdataapi, alliancedataapi, conquerablestations and corporationsheetapi work. All others are still dated 19/01/2007 in the cache folder after calling the API. Any idea what might be happening?

Edit: I found out what happened. I used my limited API key this time. However, while the cache files were still there, instead of giving me an error saying authentication level not high enough, it just returned the cached data. When I deleted the files I got the error as intended.

---

AuthenticationData auth = new AuthenticationData ();
auth.UserID = 4683469;

StarbaseListApi starbaseApi = new StarbaseListApi ();
starbaseApi.AuthenticationData = auth;

EveApiBase.UpdateResult result = starbaseApi.UpdateData (EveApiBase.UpdateCharaceristics.OnlineCached);

Yes, the documentation is a "little" bit short ;)
To check for errors you should use LastUpdateResult property of the EveAPI class (if you are using the EveAPI class).
It will tell you if (and how) the update succeded. The LastErrors property that you have been looking at reveals what happened internally (e.g. in your case that there was no (valid) cachefile available). You usually do not need to use that property.

---

Thanks for the info, and I am using that prop from that class. However, it just returns a 4. When I pipe out the .Error to a string, it says not updated. How do these errors work?

I have been scanning through the api's as I am looking for a way to gather current pricing information on items in a characters asset list. Is there a way to gather that information? For example, I would like to, by item type, gather the average selling and buying price by Region or System.

Did I miss it or is it not there? If it is not there, is it possible to add?

Originally by: Dakmarid Darksun

Previously, all the skill ids were getting automatically resolved to their names. Now this is not happening in the CharacterSheet API and SkillInTraining API. Is this due to XML changes, or was this not implemented and I was just being spoiled by pulling this through the EveAI API before?

---

Originally by: Dakmarid Darksun

---

For instance I do the following:
(I have removed some code for simplicity's sake)

CharacterSheetApi charAPI = new CharacterSheetApi();
CharacterSheet charUpdate = new CharacterSheet();
charAPI.UpdateData();
charUpdate = charAPI.Data;
foreach (CharacterSheet.LearnedSkill skill in charUpdate.Skills)
{ 
 lSkills.Add(skill.ToString());
}

Previous to the API meltdown two weeks ago, this returned the names of all the skills and their associated levels (i.e. "Drones 2").

Now this just returns the Skill Id # and the level. Looking within the CharacterSheet object, within the Skills property, each individual Skill object is null. Am I using the API properly, or is this not the appropriate way to access this information?

---

EveApi api = new EveApi ("userID", ...)
CharacterSheet charUpdate = api.GetCharacterSheet ();
foreach (CharacterSheet.LearnedSkill skill in charUpdate.Skills)
{ 
 lSkills.Add(skill.ToString());
}

it grabs the data and Caches it.

then all i need to do is call the data i want.... which thinking about it doesn't make all that much sense but there you go :P

it worked with the alliance call

List<Alliance> alliances = api.GetAllianceData();

but that was copped directly from then wiki Linkage

the error i get the the line

List<EveAI.Live.Corporation.Starbase> starbaseList = api.GetCorporationStarbaseDetail();

is

LOL. Let me rephrase my question. I'm not familiar with this API. I use libeveapi which I had to manually patch to work for my apps, and I was wondering if this particular API is open source. If it is open source, I may consider porting a current app over.

---

Again, I am not familiar with this API. Moreover, you are not being very descriptive the issue. How does it not work?

One possiblity is how did you construct the api object? It seems this library wants the userId, ApiKey and characterId up front in the constructor (which is deficient for what I need) The particular call you are making requires a full director key to acquire any data (for security reasons obviously).

---

Originally by: Lovarthis

---

Originally by: Amida Ta

---

No, it is not open source. However feel free to look at the source using reflector or a similar tool.

---

I don't understand the licensing of the libraries. Courtesy of Reflector, I have a private copy of the library sources and I've made additions and modifications that I need for my application (as I requested earlier in this thread). I'd like to share my application with others, but don't want to violate your rights as original author.

Are you permitting such modifications under any circumstances? Do you ever plan to go open source? Do you ever plan to simply release the rights to the sources so others can run with this?

---

Originally by: Lovarthis

---

I appreciate the quick reply and the temporarily hacked (?) library, but "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government". It looks like I get to reinvent this particular wheel. Which is a terrible shame. The libraries are a fine bit of work, but don't make the mistake that I did years ago of holding your creation so close to the vest that you smother its usefulness. Get it out there. Let others add to its usefulness. Let it become a community resource.

---

Originally by: Lovarthis

---

The value of having IDs in the data is that the IDs are a fundamental notion in the EVE data. Integration with any other EVE data source must be through either their static IDs or through some other invented identifier notion. If I were only using the data that you are making available, I'd be golden. However, I'm integrating with eve-central.com, which requires IDs. Any other source that I integrate with (e.g. CCP's data service directly when they add functions that you do not support) would produce the same requirement.

---

Originally by: Lovarthis

---

One means of including the IDs would be to override GetHashCode on all classes that have identifiers. I believe that's a valid use of that standard function.
(FYI, I'll be away from the web for the next two days)

You may want to do a rebuild of EveAI.Core.dll

The Eve.Data.Core.zip file in your project is missing the following files
dbo_eveGraphics.csv
dbo_eveNames.csv
dbo_agtAgents.csv
dbo_mapDenormalize.csv

The file dbo_invTypes.csv uses "#TRUE#" and "#FALSE#" for the published column but your method ReadBool uses a case sensitive comparison to "true" to set the Published property.


There is a logic error in your DataReader.Read() method, this.ReadNpcCorporations(); is reliant on this.ReadNames() being called first but the the only call to this.ReadNames() is optional.


I'd also like to add my voice to please open source this and give it a proper licence.

1) It is by design that Eve.Data.Core.zip is missing some tables. This is to reduce the size of the assemblies. The data mentioned is not needed for most cases. In case you need it you can get the data from http://wiki.eve-id.net/EveAI (or see the first post in this thread). It is sufficient to copy the EveAI.Data.zip into the Application Directory. Then the data will be automatically used.

Then can you add in a custom exception because getting a NullObjectException when you do new DataCore(); required me to disassemble the code to find out what was wrong.

I get some strange behaviour with the EveCentralMarketApi.
When I do something like this

EveCentralMarketApi mApi = new EveCentralMarketApi();
mApi.EveApiCore = new EveAI.DataCore();
ProductStatistics productStatistics = mApi.GetProductStatistics(someProductType);

I get a null reference on productStatistics.Product and 0.0 values for all the TradeQuotes.
Its the same if I use the DataCore from a new EveApi(), but not when I use the DataCore of a new EveApi(*Api Credentials here*).

Can you enlighten me on that? I need to use the EveCentralMarketApi without an "initialized" EveApi.

[Edit] The problem seems to be related to the EveApiCore.GetIdForObject() function... its doesnt return proper values on a new EveAI.DataCore(), plus it doesnt return proper values when I do something like

ProductType type = someAssetOrOrderFromTheApi.Type;
dataCore.GetIdForObject(type);

but it returns proper values if I use someAssetOrOrderFromTheApi.Type as a parameter, which is, as you might have guessed, some asset or market order retrieved by a GetCharacterAssets() or GetCharacterMarketOrders() call.

The problem currently is that the static data in EveAI is very old (Pre-Empyrean Age). And I don't have the time currently to convert the new format into something that I can easily use for EveAI.
In fact I have been working on a scheme to read the static data directly from the game which means always up-to-date data. However it's not finished yet.

---

why not use db4o for storing your data, it might not be a 100% performance thing but it has some really nice features (like client/server built in, for auto-update support), plus you don't have to do any mapping between database/objects since db4o does this all for you.

Confirmed that if I create a new AveAPI per character that I don't have the problem anymore. I don't like this approach personally though as it makes using the foreach method of the Lists useless to loop through.

Originally by: GLotsapot

1. It generates 3 LastErrors: ClientMissingCacheFile, AuthenticationCharacterMustBeDirectorOrCEO, and ClientMissingCacheFile
2. Populates oStarbaseList with the starbase list of Character1

Now I expect the 1st part to generate those errors cause the character doesn't have access to get that data, and therefore cannot get/create that data, but the oStarbaseList should *NOT* get re-populated with the other characters starbase list.

• Changed CharacterIDs, CorporationIDs and AllianceIDs (and all IDs that reference to them) to Int64. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY BREAKING CHANGE. If you do not use the objects, but refer to these IDs you might get compile errors after upgrading. You will have to update your application to work on Int64 for these IDs as well if you are directly using IDs.


• Updated several other fields from Int32 to Int64 that might overflow in the future.

Originally by: Admiralis Deluxe

Sorry, the exeption is not, by creating a new eveapi instance. it¦s by calling the corp sheet.

EveApi CharAPI = new EveApi(UID, ApiKey, characterID);
CorporationSheet CorpSheet = CharAPI.GetCorporationSheet(); //error

This will happen if Eve-Central will not return anything (which results in a null-ref) due to internal Eve-Central errors or timeouts.

---

Still can't get it to work, no matter what item. It's more like the error's occuring right before grabbing the prices. It's probably some VB-newbie mistake, but i just can't find what. Anybody has some working VB-example for me?

Originally by: Woef

I'm having trouble to figure out how to get the prices from Eve-Central. I have the following code in VB.NET:
Imports EveAI.Live
Imports EveAI.Live.Market

Private Sub btnAssets_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAssets.Click

Dim api3 As New EveApi(userid, "apikey", charid)
Dim market As New EveCentralMarketApi
Dim marketitem As EveAI.Product.ProductType
Dim marketp = New ProductStatistics

Dim assets = api3.GetCharacterAssets

For i = 0 To assets.Count - 1
marketitem = (assets(i).Type)
marketp = market.GetProductStatistics(marketitem) <-- this gives NullReference
ItemPrice = marketding.BuyOrders.Median
Next i
End Sub

But it keeps giving me NullReference Exceptions, and i can't figure out what's wrong myself. It'd be appreciated if somebody could show/explain what i'm doing wrong.

I just did some debugging of the raw MSIL - reflector does not give you everything so I chose to look at the raw .net assembly - and it looks like my network traces with wireshark confirm that this library contains code that collects api keys.
I could be wrong, but since its not Open Source, I cant confirm this by looking at the code and I have no other way to confirm, however if you released the code everybody could check and confirm either that I'm wrong - and if so sorry (but I really doubt I'm wrong) - or that I'm right. Either way honesty is best, and I think you should release the code.

Till then, I suggest people stop using this unless they want to release the code. I don't trust it, and I have no reason to. Nobody does.

If you don't like it not being open source and don't trust me or are too lazy to look at the application using reflector then don't use the library. Simple as that. But don't spread lies.

Its not about me, and your attempts to make my claims look invalid by simply calling me lazy instead of actually denying this and defending yourself only put you in a bad light. I'm trying to help protect people from people that attempt to infect there computer or steal API keys, and I never would have looked so deep into the codes actions if my anti virus - AVAST - had not flagged it as a danger. Its not just me saying this is an issue.

Thanks for the time you put into this Amida Ta!
I clearly need some basic C# training, if anyone who's reading this could recommend a good path for a nooblet, I'd much appreciate it.

Meanwhile, I would like to extract the quantity for a specific item at a particular station and I am having some difficulty to conceptualize what needs to be done. Specifically I would like to end up with the quantity for each mineral at a particular station.

I pulled the assets via List<Asset> AshAssets = Ash.GetCharacterAssets(); and I am thinking that the next step would be to use AshAssets.FindAll to pull the data for the station I am interested in, and then proceed to extract the minerals?

Alternatively I could create a mineral object and extract the data that way somehow?

The generic lists are killing me. I'd just brute force my way by iterating through the list if(AshAssets[n].TypeID == 36) for example, but there has to be a better way to pull out the minerals. That's the type of C# stuff I need to learn, and Google provides information overload.

Any chance that the way the cache works can be manipulated, like definable delegates where you can use your own caching storage (be it serializing to xml, using db4o or whatever) .. that way it might be usable for developers to replace their own implementation with EveAI without having to re-write their systems.

Additonally, a MarketOrder owns a Station and and Type which are more complex classes which can not easily be reconstructed from strings. Is there any way for me to serialize and parse the data obtained from the EveAPI library? Your library is outstanding and I am really looking forward to using it more fully.

Thanks for the great lib Amida. I have been using EveAI for a little while and have been trying to familiarize myself with it. I have one question though.

Quick question about caching. Lets say my app uses the EveAI to pull Jump data (cache interval is 1 hour) at 21:00:00. Then the app tries to pull updated Jump data at 22:00:00. At 22:00:00 exact, will the app get new data or cached data? I guess what I'm trying to ask is are the cachUntil timestamps inclusive or exclusive?

---

I also prefer to disable caching on the client side and just ask the server for updated data every hour. Is there an API call in EveAI to do that? I looked at the EveApi but couldn't find any relevant members.

As for fixing the problem... I'm not really sure you can in my case as its a webserver issue more then your code.

Unless you can dynamically identify a working directory that the IIS user has access to, and point the cache files there rather then the standard location (which the webserver user does not have access to)

I'm fairly certain that EveAI is reporting the incorrect server status. When I run it, it returns false with 0 users while EVEMON and the server itself are reporting that it's fine.

Could it be a caching issue?

Edit: this occurs after downtime.

---

Originally by: Cableworth

---

Edit2: After further experimentation, I'm not sure whether it's something that I'm doing wrong or what, but the cache seems to work solely off the characters ID's and ignores the api key altogether. If a user submits a valid user ID yet the api key is modified slightly, EveAI will still return valid data. This is a problem since the method I'm using to verify if auth data is correct is to determine if there are any characters returned by this (any better ideas?). It's artificially creating valid entries when they should be invalid.

Here is what I'm doing:

EveApi eve = new EveApi(newUser.APIID, newUser.APIKey);

List<AccountEntry> accounts = eve.GetAccountEntries();
if (accounts.Count == 0) {
//Send error
}

^ This problem was resolved by comparing the API ID rather than the API Key with existing ones. Looks like your internal implementation of the cache only checks against ID's :).

---

Originally by: Cableworth

---

Thanks for the feedback, I'll use that method for authentication instead. In terms of the online status, I'm stumped as to what the problem could be...how would I go about viewing the raw data from the API to make sure I'm not going mad? Also what's the way evemon uses?

CelestialAreas (like SolarSystem, Region and Constellation) have a new Attribute Area INSTEAD of MinLocation and MaxLocation. Also the locational attributes have been changed to float/single instead of double.

EveAI.Core: Serveral (some are somewhat breaking, but usually they only break things that were broken anyways e.g. outdated static data) changes to DataCore. The static data is now much more complete. Some highlights are:

Stations now have all sorts of useful information instead of the unusable info from before. Agents, NPCCorps and Factions have lots of additional properties.
Through optimization the size on disk, memory AND load times have been reduced.
If you are using DataCore directly, there are now two additional load parameters NpcData and Stations to load/not load these individually.

Please note that the Universe property of the DataCore is currently wrong and will be replaced with multiple universes (there are now two) in a later version.

EveAI.Live: No changes

EveAI.Core: The Universe property is now a list and contains both universes (Normal and Wormhole)

EveAI.Live: SkillInTraining has additional Properties (IsCurrentlyTraining, SkillPointsGainedPerDay and SkillPointsCurrently). SkillPointsCurrentlyEstimated is deprecated. SkillPointsGainedPerSecond and SkillPointsCurrently do now always deliver info, even for skills not currently trained.

Could you give an example? And what did you expect?

No, thats a limit of the CCP APIs, not of EveAI.Live

- when i do an "advanced" call, does a changed Updatemechanism also changed for "simple" call?

Yes, both will use the same disk cache (unless you would change it). However memory-cache would not work when mixing both variants.

- can i change the location where the cache in saved on Harddisk?

EveApiBase.Configuration.BaseDirectory
However I would strongly advice against changing it because it means if you use several applications using EveAI.Live they will get incorrect cache data or will not be able to get data at all.

- how can i clean the cache from code? Ok, i can unload eveai, delete the files, and reload, but i like to force an online update in simple mode.

You cannot force an online update. The update times are enforced by the CCP API. If you delete the cache files you CAN get EveAI to recall the CCP APIs but the CCP APIs will either return OLD data (the same data you already had cached) or they will just return an error. So doing what you are trying to do is utterly useless.

Thanks for answering,
