new api works, i had to redo mine
It does? I'm hearing exactly the opposite from people who have changed their API (most cos Evemon kept whining at them).

got evemon to work too.
Odd. I've just confirmed with someone that they have Evemon & eveboard working but EFT times out. I'd have thought if they got eveboard working then EFT should work too as EFT only needs CharacterInfo and CharacterSheet api, both of which would be enabled if eveboard works.
thanks for letting me know you have it working - I'm even more confused now

Did you create an old format API key or the new CAK format?
Edit - someone in the thread says Gripen is working on it, hopefully he's right.

You're both talking EFT right? Cause some people tend to confuse EFT and EVEMon for some reason...
I'm talking EFT.
Evemon is one of the apps/sites nagging me to update the API key to the new CAK format.
My understanding is that if I do this then the new CAK format will break EFT.

If you had to "re-do" it - then you didn't use the new CAK API key (the top two in the picture below).new api works, i had to redo mine
They don't work with EFT, as EFT looks up the "UserID" as the first component of the web query. The new CAK keys do not use the UserID at all.
You can have a new CAK key as well as the legacy one as in the screenshot above.My understanding is that if I do this then the new CAK format will break EFT.
NB - The new CAK keys however, are the only thing that works with the latest version of EVEMon...
Which is a bit unfortunate - if you do any industry. The "old" format API key allowed EVEMon to track your invention, build, and market stuff that you had active at corporation level. However, the new CAK key is specific for personal OR corp only, and EVEMon does not support the Corp ones, so you lose the industry/market tracking function if you upgrade EVEMon and move to CAK, if you do industry at a Corp level.

For example (as described HERE), to get your current skill in training, the query:
https#://api.eveonline.com/char/SkillInTraining.xml.aspx?UserID=XXXX&apikey=XXXX&characterID=XXXX
is used. I would give you an example, but TBH I don't want to hand out one of my API keys to everyone that can read this thread, even if it is "deprecated" as CCP put it.
Under the new CAK keys, to get the same data, you need to use:
https#://api.eveonline.com/char/SkillInTraining.xml.aspx?keyID=XXXX&vCode=XXXX&characterID=XXXX
It literally cannot work.

For the old-fashioned API key, I go through here: Old API Keys
This old website still works (for now) and I can even generate new old-fashioned keys.
For the new API keys, I go through here: New API Keys
I've been wondering why so many people are having problems. Perhaps it's because they don't have the URL for the old-fashioned keys?

You sure you did not just generate "new" legacy keys? Atm, you can still generate the "old" keys anew, but that doesn't make them the "new" API keys ppl are talking about..?i updated evemon with new keys and works fine, eft still works fine too, so i dont see what all the fuss is about. I have even removed all old keys.
Edit: In fact, to give the link, Granger was talking about the keys you can generate here. And not the ones that are shown under "Legacy" there... Edit 3: Dange, URLs being posted already further up. Go, go, Toran, to the kitchen, come back when you get to read properly.
Edit2: And while I don't advertise EveHQ too much as it seems to suffer a bit from sloppy programming (he fixes every bug you hand him in 1-2 days, but then, there's a reason he's busy all the time), it is updated to the new keys since their launch and uses them properly (from what it seems).

Yeah I must admit I don't know what all the fuss has been - other than the knock on effect of not being able to see corp industry jobs or market orders in EVEMon with the new CAK API, if you simply do not delete the old keys, things like EFT will continue to work until CCP retire them - by which time Gripen will hopefully have updated EFT.I am blissfully using the latest versions of both EveMon and EFT at the moment with no problems. I use a new custom API key for EveMon and I use an old-fashioned API key for EFT.

no not old key NEW keys, i removed all old ones
Then I'm at a complete loss to see how EFT works for you. Cool if it does but I don't see how.
