This is the first API you decide to publish? Give me a SDE and access to characters skill sheet. I could care less about this PC BS.

Nice but will have to agree it's an odd thing to start with really...

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.

Do those endpoints support any kind of parameters? Like for sorting or filtering and stuff. Would be nice if we didn't need to get all the data all the time and do it client side.

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 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.

Oh sure http://www.dustreports.com/ gets help so they don't have to type things out by hand, but http://www.dust514stats.com gets no love.

I like this and I hope some sort of VITA announcement follows.

:P

Really happy for the data, Really happy for dust reports. Thank you ccp.

Now we need Api keys for Dust accounts,characters , Corp information and implement it with eve api for corp in the future.
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.

I think the issue with the leaderboard is how we are getting data thru crest, if they did a public endpoint for the leaderboards the file would be massive, since it would give us all of it at once. and limiting it to calls on spesific mercs thru the sso/auth system will reduce overall stress on the system.

It'd be cool if http://public-crest.eveonline.com/ returned a list of available resources.

I'm wondering, as soon as a district attacks another district, does the attacking district show up with less clones? So could you make something that 'guesses' if there is an attacking district?

I guess you'd have to test that. I think it does. In the relatively small sandbox of Molden Heath, you'd have a finite, and manageable list of people undergoing attacks. With a one-minute latency, one district losing clones and another district being under attack would be enough data to figure out someone attacked someone else. Though it wouldn't help you identify clone pack attackers.

I'm still confused about biomass sales at the moment. Do you get isk for every clone killed after the minimum 150 as a victor? Or as long as a minimum are killed you get biomass sales for every clone killed?

You get payout for every clone killed in the battle. This includes any additional clone deaths that occur to the losing side to bring them to the 150 clone death minimum.

This ensures there will always be a minimum of 150 clones deaths. Unless the losing side started with less than 150 clones, due to it being the final PC battle for the district.

Wow more useless crap for the players, fix gameplay and catch some hacker, who the hell cares about this. You making me so sad ccp seriously, who is giving advise about what to bring out next. Cus you def need to fire hes or her ass. Or do you guys just realy dont care?

Go pod yourself. Over and over again since you're immortal.

First off, the team that made this API system is NOT the same team that fixes exploits or balance weapons and stuff. There are already other teams working on stuff that you want finished.

Second, the CREST API will become much more useful once it's fully finished so that you can calculate fittings, gather district data, and other stuff without having to log into the game. Hell, have you seen Twitter lately? Look for @DUSTAlerts. Because of the new API, they are able to provide a live feed of which corp loses/gains which district to/from which corp. Just 19 minutes ago, TeamPlayers corp lost Osvetur V - District 5 to the G I A N T corp and I didn't need to access anything in game to figure that out. That's just for starters which brings me to my next point..

Third, imagine all the third party developers creating tools based on the CREST API such as a DUST Fitting Tool that you can access as an Android or iPhone app without having to log into tthe game. Imagine seeing an up-to-date map on a web browser that tells you which corp or alliance has control over which planets and districts and how each planet is influencing the other. Imagine an app or web browser that imports your character's data so you can put together a skill plan without logging into the game. All for free.

Tell me, which other first person shooter offers this kind of service to the players? Perhaps Halo, but Halo's Waypoint doesn't give you the kind of immersion and metagaming experience that CCP's API system gives you.

You obviously have NO idea how important this is. This is by far the most important thing CCP has ever done for DUST 514. It's more important than gun balance. It's more important than fixing exploits. It's more important than economy.

My honest reaction, who cares about this aplication? Doesnt improve the game itself, and only like 5 to 10% like this api cus they do pc. Reason why other shooters dont have it, cus it doesnt add to the gameplay at all. Dust is not Eve so dont treat it like its Eve.

Then you dont have a cleu how shooters work.

So how would we feel about API for FW districts...?

Hi All,

I've put together a visualization of the current district ownership shares in Molden Heath. The data backing this visualization is refreshed every hour and will pick up any changes to alliance affiliations and adjust the graph accordingly.

You can see it here:

http://www.dustcharts.com/moldenheath

For the sake of clarity, only corporations with a 1% share of Molden Heath are labeled along the outer edge of the graph. However, you can still see data for the other corporations by mousing over that slice of the pie and reading the tooltip that pops up.

Feel free to respond in the thread with any feedback/questions and keep an eye out for a full dashboard experience on Dust Charts in the near future Shocked

If you like it, you can always donate ISK to BGoat in game.

Hello there. Thanks to mr. shandybin we have a very helpful tool for overviewing districts by selected time period: http://rust415.com/liga/en-districts

Please feel free to use.

Best regards,

RUST415 Alliance

Now THIS is awesome! :D Cannot wait to see what you guys do with it.
