Third Party Developer Blog

Exceptional third-party developers!   A couple of quick updates on the ESI and the SDE:   ESI: On 11 July 2024, a few enhancements were made to a selection of existing ESI endpoints to restore them back to full functionality. You can find the complete list of updates here: https://github.com/esi/esi-issues/blob/master/changelog.md#2024-07-11.  Please note that the cache for individual endpoints will expire naturally, so some endpoints will start showing the new data once their cache expires. SDE: On 11 July 2024 a new patch was deployed (2024-07-11.1), which contained a new selection of skills for the SKINR. An updated SDE to include these new skills is scheduled to run at 10:00 UTC on 12 July 2024 and will be made available on https://developers.eveonline.com/resource from 10:30 UTC onwards.   Thank you all for your continued support and dedication! o7 read more

Hello, my wonderful 3rd party developer community!   A quick update from me - CCP Stroopwafel just blasted out a new SDE for everyone a short while ago and is availble over on the resources page.   During yesterday's update, new values were assigned to planets/stars in terms of output in addition to Sov upgrade costs; these updated values are now reflected in the latest SDE.   Happy number crunching! o7 read more

Hey everyone!   Quick update - a small patch is scheduled for tomorrow (20 June 2024). Consequently, we'll follow up with a new SDE deployment, which should be completed around 1500 UTC and available on https://developers.eveonline.com/resource shortly after.   There will also be a minor outage on ESI - it will be disabled prior to downtime at about 10:55 UTC, and service should resume at 11:30 UTC. We're working on a few databases and wanted to ensure minimal impact during that time.   Thank you all! o7 read more

Hey folks!   Quick update - today's patch saw a bundle of updates to static data, so we saw fit to rerun another SDE ahead of next week's initially planned deployment.   We'll still deploy one around Tuesday/Thursday next week, but we just wanted to run a new one to encompass today's changes.   It is available over on https://developers.eveonline.com/resource now!   o7 read more

Our wonderful developer community, EVE Onlines' next expansion, Equinox, is here! Let's dive straight into it. SDE Update: We mentioned in the last update that we planned on making a few changes to the SDE; the first iteration of that arrives with this expansion: All yaml files now stick to a firm 2-space indent. [The inconsistency between 2 and 4 was angering CCP Stroopwaffel, so this has been adjusted] The Korean localization (ko) was missing for types, groups, and categories, which are now included. This means that the SDE zip has grown by a few MB because of the increase in text Some files have been renamed. Their contents remain mostly the same (except the added ko localization): typeIDs.yaml => types.yaml ... read more

Greetings, developers! Today's post covers Plans for developer-related news, an SDE update and clearing up an old "Temporary" alert that existed here. News update: We know it's been a long time since this page was updated, but it's time we have a home for third-party developer-related content once again. We had been using a combination of the forums, Tweetfleet Slack and Discord to convey messages, but having an RSS news feed enabled post and a clean-from-clutter central location for information was the most requested thing from the community, so resurrecting this blog, as it has all the desired functionality seems to be the best avenue to facilitate that request! SDE: This is a two-fold announcement - the SDE with the updates from the balance patch from 20 February 2024 is now available at https://developers.eveonline.com/resource ... read more
