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.
You need to allow users to delect a region on the market order portion of the board. The only way I can do that right now, as far as I can tell, is to shut down my browser and re-open. Not very good.

Ctrl+click will deselect a region. Be sure to hit limit to regions after doing this.

Actually it is even worse. Shutting down my browser doesn’t work. I still have only one region selected. Kinda sucks.

Thanks for the ability to pull data from your site into my mining SS in excel–this is going to save oodles of time, and boredom
I’ll keep sending you market exports when I can!
