====== Using the EVE Online API ======

<WRAP important>\\ **Under construction!**</WRAP>

===== Useful Documentation and Necessary Websites =====
  * Third-party documentation [[https://eveonline-third-party-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sso/intro.html|site]]
  * Main EVE Developers' [[https://developers.eveonline.com/|site]] (get application credentials here)
  * EVE Technology and Research Center [[https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=263|forums]]

===== Additions to Web2Py to Support Access to the EVE Online API =====

  * Add a Web2Py OAuth [[https://gist.github.com/jtkorb/5f7577d9510348d90d715ff47b7586ff|module]] to the models directory (alphabetically after db.py).  Details coming soon (faster, if you [[jtkorb@bikmort.com|let me know]] you're interested).
  * For convenience, add ''~/python/bin'' to path (in, for example, ''.bash_profile'').
  * Install additional Python modules needed by Web2Py to support the EVE Online API (be sure to install using pip in virtualenv):

  source python/bin/activate
  pip install requests
  pip install bravado      # some effort to fully install; needed to --force-reinstall
  pip install functools32  # should have been installed automatically with bravado
  pip install pytz         # to use the timezone utility for local conversions
