So at downtime today we stealth deployed an update to enable a new public CREST endpoint which details the current state of planetary conquest in Molden Heath. You can view the data here:
http://public-crest.eveonline.com/districts/
(If you just click this link it will download a file due to mimetype handling in the browser. You will need to open the file in a text editor to view the contents)
The information we provide includes:
- The name and location of each district
- The corporation who currently owns the district
- The number of clones, maximum clone capacity and the current clone generation rate
- The date that the district will next enter its reinforcement cycle and its configured reinforce hour
- The type of surface infrastructure installed
We are providing this as a beta test for people to start experimenting and building 3rd party applications or website with. There are a couple of caveats:
- You do not need a license or any kind of authentication to use this data
- We are making no gaurentees about its availability just yet, the API may even completely disappear if we find a problem with it
- All the data is accurate within a minute, but that cache interval may get tweaked in the next few days
- Our webserver supports gzip compression so you would be best to use that if possible as the resource can be heavily compressed
- The structure of this data may change in the future but we will do our best to communicate the changes ahead of time
Other than that, if you have any questions about how to interpret the data you can post in this thread. If you create something cool with it please let me know and we can help share it around with everyone.

Now to see what crazy things people make with this stuff. If it's anything like we saw out of ATXI, it will be amazing.

It's so these guys don't have to keep typing all their data in by hand: http://dustreports.com/
Also /districts/ can be easily cached and requires no session data so it is a good candidate for a public resource.
Talks about a Dust SDE are in progress but are unrelated to CREST. |

We will probably do more granular URIs when we add more districts but for now the size of this single resource is easily handled by even limited devices (for example the PS3) so you should have no trouble dissecting the information yourself.
The benefit of keeping it a single resource means we get regular cache hits at our web front end making it super fast for people requesting data. |

The benefit of keeping it a single resource means we get regular cache hits at our web front end making it super fast for people requesting data. The coders out there will figure out how to show wins and losses very quickly I am sure but until we see stats from each fight we will still not be able to tell what type of fight happened.
So we have to walk an interesting balance between exposing data for people to see, and keeping some elements a secret in the interest of corporate security. You will be able to see when a district changed hands for example, but not exactly how they won it.
Intel is a valuable commodity in New Eden, we can't give *everything* away for free, we certainly have room to provide more than we currently do though. |

Please keep the CREST format between Dust514 and eve the same.
We have a single sign on server that provides auth tokens for use with CREST. The SSO supports PSN and EVE accounts already which we use on the PS3 and the forums. The plan is to open this up to 3rd party developers at some stage but I don't have any information on when that will happen sorry. It was definitely designed to be 3rd party accessible though, and things like leader boards would be a perfect candidate for resources to expose with this. |

While you can't get to it just now, the root of the API does indeed returns a list of available resources. You'll get access to it eventually. |
