Ahh thank you very much!!!
I understand now. I was thinking that you would need to pass in a starbase id when calling the get method or something like that. Didnt realise it had to be set through the Authentication part.
Will have a play around and see, seems simple enough now tho :)
Thanx again!

Haven't tested this, but it should work:
CharacterNameLookupApi namelookup = new CharacterNameLookupApi ();
namelookup.CharacterIDsToLookup.Add (1234567);
namelookup.CharacterIDsToLookup.Add (2345678);
namelookup.UpdateData ();
String charName1 = namelookup.FindEntry (1234567);
String charName2 = namelookup.FindEntry (2345678);

Private Sub BtnLookUp1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnLookUp1.Click
If TxtCharID.TextLength <> 0 Then
Dim namelookup As CharacterNameLookupApi = New CharacterNameLookupApi()
namelookup.CharacterIDsToLookup.Add(CInt(TxtCharID.Text))
namelookup.UpdateData()
LabCharName.Text = namelookup.FindEntry(TxtCharID.Text)
End If
it is Ok for CharacterNameLookupApi
--------------------------------
but
Private Sub BtnLookUp2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnLookUp2.Click
If TxtCharName.TextLength <> 0 Then
Dim idlookup As CharacterIDLookupApi = New CharacterIDLookupApi()
idlookup.CharacterNamesToLookup.Add(TxtCharName.Text)
idlookup.UpdateData()
LabCharID.Text = idlookup.FindEntry(TxtCharName.Text)
End If
End Sub
for CharacterIDLookupApi , returns -1. |

Hi
first off thanks for this - its fantastic (even if i am struggling)
second i have some VERY basic .net skills so i dont know if my lack of knowledfe of .net or EveAI is the problem here
I CAN do this:
Dim api3 As New EveApi
Dim myskilllist As New List(Of Skill)
myskilllist = api3.GetSkillTree
Me.GridView1.DataSource = myskilllist
Me.GridView1.DataBind()
This returns a full list of all skills BUT please can somebody explain how i get back a list of a characters learned skills
Thanks |

Hello.
There is a bug in .GetCharacterAccountBalance(0).Balance, it returns 4 292 529.2969 while the amount is much more higher, the xml from api is;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><eveapi version="2"><currentTime>10/11/2008 10:05:15 PM</currentTime><result><rowset name="accounts" key="accountID" columns="accountID,accountKey,balance"><row accountID="xxx" accountKey="1000" balance="429252929.69" /></rowset></result><cachedUntil>10/11/2008 10:20:15 PM</cachedUntil><utcTimeDifference>00:00:00</utcTimeDifference><cacheVersion>0.9.10.0</cacheVersion></eveapi> |

Hi Amida Ta! I finally got time to play with your great API lib again  To the point: On rare occasions I get a null reference on the Type from the GetCharacterAssets(), I havent nailed it down to a specific asset yet. [Fake Edit:] I have nailed it down now: It's a freakin' Apotheosis, TypeID 29266. I guess its time we get a new data dump  . I don't know if you can work around that.  And just to be sure: Do you cache queries to Eve Central via the EveCentralMarketApi? Or am I hammering them to death right now? Regards, A.S. |

Seems like CCP changed this. I will update the API accordingly. Already fixed an will be included in the next version. |

I guess its time we get a new data dump . I don't know if you can work around that.
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. If anybody wants to help I would need the static data dump converted to the sql create format it had before. There it is important that the format has ONE create table and then n inserts, otherwise my import app will not read it correctly. As an alternative I could also use the old CSV format. So if anybody wants to help I would be very happy ;) Originally by: Alfred Spangler

Regards, A.S.
As soon as you call GetProductStatistics no more caching occurs. Whenever you call that function a query is made on Eve Central. You can read the result as often as you like, but on the next call of GetProductStatistics a new Call to Eve Central will be made. |

The SkillTree is the Entire Skilltree in Eve and has nothing to do with your character. To get the skills of your character you have to use (have not used VB in some time ;) Dim api3 As New EveApi(_userid_, _apiKey_, _characterID_) Dim character As CharacterSheet character = api3.GetCharacterSheet Me.GridView1.DataSource = character.Skills Me.GridView1.DataBind() |

Edited by: Alfred Spangler on 02/11/2008 11:28:30I 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. At least I found a workaround for the second problem while digging around with reflector  And on a laste note: What exactly do you need from the new data dumps for your import functions? One create table plus inserts per file, one file per table? Regards, A.S. |

By default it creates an empty core dataset which is why you get null-ref exceptions. If you like you can initialize it manually from the data that is embedded in the core by calling something like: DataCore core = new DataCore (); DataReader reader = new DataReader (core); reader.Read (DataTypes.BasicMapData | DataTypes.Products); reader.Read will read the static data from internal datafiles. In that case it will read everything relating to Map and Products. Originally by: Alfred Spangler

I would need exactly that: One file per table containing one create table followed by one insert per data item. |

First, add the Api .dlls to your project as a reference. You can pass the api credentials to the api on instantiation of the EveApi class, although I'm sure you could even do that later on. My VB is a bit rusty, but it should work like that: Quote:
using EveAi.Live
Dim eveApi As EveApi = New EveApi(userID, apiKey, characterID)
Most (all?) Get-methods of the Api give you a reference to some EveAi-specific object, like a character sheet, list of assets, etc. So, to show your corpname in a textbox you can do: Quote:
using EveAi.Live
using EveAI.Live.Character
Dim eveApi As EveApi = New EveApi(userID, apiKey, characterID)
Dim characterSheet = eveApi.GetCharacterSheet()
text1.Text = characterSheet.CorporationName
Voilá, your corpname in your textbox. Magic!  Regards, A.S. P.S.: Amida, what about a XML comment file? Would make some things make more sense... like... more intellisense  I could do with a german one, I might even do some translation on it... ok I'm probably lying about the translation part  |

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. |

I already thought about that. But plain db4o itself is already as big as the entire EveAI.Live CONTAINING most of the Eve static data. If you then add the database for db4o it becomes bigger than anybody would like a library or even an entire application to be. |

Afaik it should be Dim characterSheet as CharacterSheet = eveApi.GetCharacterSheet() Also you forgot your characterID in the line above. And I hope you replaced those "myapikey" with your real key ;) |

Version 0.9.16 has been released. It adds support for most of the new APIs (basically everything except the medals stuff). It should also fix all errors that appeared because CCP "fixed" their previous errors in the APIs like multiplying stuff and things like that. Unfortunatelly the static data is still very ancient and I haven't got any new data. I'm mostly able to read cachefiles, but a) they do not contain all the data that is part of the static data dumps and b) I still haven't got any clear answer from CCP if it would be ok to use/embed them in the API library. Here is the new version: http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/Foxfire/EveAI_Live_0.9.16.zipAs always it comes with the testapp to see the new APIs in action. |

The format that I use is CSV. One file per table. First line is omitted (ideally a description) Then one line per dataset. (Separated by $ and Strings surrounded with "", but I could change this easily) I have a converter from the old SQL-format into the CSV, so I could also use that. |

Version 0.9.17 has been released. It adds everything that has been missing from the previous version. Now all API calls are supported again (added the three Medal-based ones) Also TADAAA: ALL static data has been updated and is now on line with the current Eve static data export.
