EVE API Documentation Index
This set of pages documents the workings of the EVE API. If you are just looking for your API key, try here.
Introduction to the API
The EVE API is a platform created to allow third party tools (programs, web sites, etc) to access character and corporation data for the purpose of enhancing the EVE experience. We have chosen to expose some game data with this goal in mind. All of the data is protected by an API key that is unique to your account. (Read more about the API keys.)
If you find any bugs with the API, please use the bug reporting system to let us know. Discussion about the API, including comments and feature requests, can be made in the EVE Technology Lab section of the forums.
