EVE-Central API Upgrades
I’ve taken the chance now to upgrade some of our APIs, make them more consistent, cleaner, and better documented.
The first primary change is moving from the old /home namespace to the new /api namespace. This allows for some cleaner separation of the logic and not the old mismash of stuff. I’ve also cleaned up the marketstat API, allowing multiple type IDs to be passed in a single query.
The new API has a version header now as well <evec_api version=”2.0″>…</evec_api>. You can distinguish responses, and possibly in the future request specific versions of formatting.
As before, the API is open, not requiring a key to use. I’ve contemplated a key based approach but haven’t deemed in necessary yet. If you suddenly find you can’t connect to the server - you’ve probably been doing something naughty (or it broke).
I have a few IPs blocked for bone-headed use of the system - such as querying every typeID from 1 to 100000000, and in string order at that. Don’t do that 
The old APIs based off of /home will continue to work for now. It would be a perfect world if everything would upgrade, but thats not always possible. I’ll monitor usage of both and cut off the old one once its no longer popular.
