# NAME
Games::EveOnline::API - A simple Perl wrapper around the EveOnline XML API. (DEPRECATED)
# SYNOPSIS
use Games::EveOnline::API;
my $eapi = Games::EveOnline::API->new();
my $skill_groups = $eapi->skill_tree();
my $ref_types = $eapi->ref_types();
my $systems = $eapi->sovereignty();
# The rest of the methods require authentication.
my $eapi = Games::EveOnline::API->new( user_id => '..', api_key => '..' );
my $characters = $eapi->characters();
my $sheet = $eapi->character_sheet( character_id => $character_id );
my $in_training = $eapi->skill_in_training( character_id => $character_id );
# DEPRECATED
This module is no longer being maintained as the XML API is no more.
# DESCRIPTION
This module provides a Perl wrapper around the Eve-Online API, version 2.
The need for the wrapper arrises for two reasons. First, the XML that
is provided by the API is overly complex, at least for my taste. So, other
than just returning you a perl data representation of the XML, it also
simplifies the results.
Only a couple of the methods provided by this module can be used straight
away. The rest require that you get a user\_id (keyID) and api\_key (vCode).
# A NOTE ON CACHING
Most of these methods return a 'cached\_until' value. I've no clue if this
is CCP telling you how long you should cache the information before you
should request it again, or if this is the point at which CCP will refresh
their cache of this information.
Either way, it is good etiquet to follow the cacheing guidelines of a
provider. If you over-use the API I'm sure you'll eventually get blocked.
# ARGUMENTS
## user\_id
An Eve Online API user ID (also known as a keyID).
## api\_key
The key, as provided Eve Online, to access the API (also known
as a vCode).
## character\_id
Set the default `character_id`. Any methods that require
a characte ID, and are not given one, will use this one.
## api\_url
The URL that will be used to access the Eve Online API.
Defaults to [https://api.eveonline.com](https://api.eveonline.com). Normally you
won't want to change this.
## ua
The underlying [LWP::UserAgent](https://metacpan.org/pod/LWP::UserAgent) object. Default to a new one
with no special arguments. Override this if you want to, for
example, enable keepalive or an HTTP proxy.
# ANONYMOUS METHODS
These methods may be called anonymously, without authentication.
## skill\_tree
my $skill_groups = $eapi->skill_tree();
Returns a complex data structure containing the entire skill tree.
The data structure is:
{
cached_until => $date_time,
$group_id => {
name => $group_name,
skills => {
$skill_id => {
name => $skill_name,
description => $skill_description,
rank => $skill_rank,
primary_attribute => $skill_primary_attribute,
secondary_attribute => $skill_secondary_attribute,
bonuses => {
$bonus_name => $bonus_value,
},
required_skills => {
$skill_id => $skill_level,
},
}
}
}
}
## ref\_types
my $ref_types = $eapi->ref_types();
Returns a simple hash structure containing definitions of the
various financial transaction types. This is useful when pulling
wallet information. The key of the hash is the ref type's ID, and
the value of the title of the ref type.
## sovereignty
my $systems = $eapi->sovereignty();
Returns a hashref where each key is the system ID, and the
value is a hashref with the keys:
name
faction_id
sovereignty_level
constellation_sovereignty
alliance_id
# RESTRICTED METHODS
These methods require authentication to use, so you must have set
the ["user\_id"](#user_id) and ["api\_key"](#api_key) arguments to use them.
## characters
my $characters = $eapi->characters();
Returns a hashref where key is the character ID and the
value is a hashref with a couple bits about the character.
Here's a sample:
{
'1972081734' => {
'corporation_name' => 'Bellator Apparatus',
'corporation_id' => '1044143901',
'name' => 'Ardent Dawn'
}
}
## character\_sheet
my $sheet = $eapi->character_sheet( character_id => $character_id );
For the given character ID a hashref is returned with
the all the information about the character. Here's
a sample:
{
'name' => 'Ardent Dawn',
'balance' => '99010910.10',
'race' => 'Amarr',
'blood_line' => 'Amarr',
'corporation_name' => 'Bellator Apparatus',
'corporation_id' => '1044143901',
'skills' => {
'3455' => {
'level' => '2',
'skill_points' => '1415'
},
# Removed the rest of the skills for readability.
},
'attribute_enhancers' => {
'memory' => {
'value' => '3',
'name' => 'Memory Augmentation - Basic'
},
# Removed the rest of the enhancers for readability.
},
'attributes' => {
'memory' => '7',
