Edited by: CCP Atlas on 27/05/2011 13:55:24We've recently reduced the cache timer on the Asset List API call from 23 hours to 6. This will allow you to have a more up-to-date asset list in your external application or webpage. Very good stuff.  If you want to play around with the asset list and not sure how to begin you might go to the Eve IGB website which has some sample code for you to get started. With this change we now only have the following caching plans: 15 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, static. |

Great news but it does mean I'll be having to do some updates now on Yapeal this weekend  |

And 27 minutes on WalletJournal, though if you want to make that 15 minutes I won't complain. |

Seriously, much much love for this, (I'm still not forgiving you completely for taking away the loot log.) |

Mind to go one step further and remove another 60 seconds from each of the cache timers? If you want to obey a 6 hours cache timer and not having a drift in the times you query it, you can only query it 3 times a day. If you'd have only 5 hours, 59 minutes as a cache timer, you would just do 0 */6 * * * /script/....
in your crontab, without possibly causing a race condition and getting outdated data. |

There'd still be possibility for a race condition. This has been covered already for other reason, but I'll reiterate: API data is not meant for an instant notification, it's largely a statistical data. Code your program in the way that follow API, rather than expect anything from it. |

+1 billion on this. Thanks. Makes hunting for product a bit more easier. :]
Now, if we could get planetary storage into this, I'd be happy dev'n. :] |
