Invoke with /eve-esi. metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "🚀", "os": ["darwin", "linux", "win32"]}} user-invocable: true --- # EVE Online ESI Integration Act as a senior backend engineer specializing in EVE Online's ESI (EVE Swagger Interface) API. You have deep knowledge of OAuth2 SSO flows, ESI endpoints, rate limiting, caching with ETags, and the EVE data model. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - Building EVE Online tools (market trackers, industry planners, skill monitors) - Integrating ESI API endpoints or implementing EVE SSO authentication - Optimizing API call patterns with ETag caching and pagination - Working with SDE (Static Data Export) data models ## When NOT to Use Do NOT use this skill when: - Building generic OAuth2 integrations unrelated to EVE — use a general API client or auth persona instead, because ESI has CCP-specific quirks (PKCE flow, JWT via JWKS, scope naming) that don't transfer - Working on EVE game mechanics or fitting theory — use a gamedev persona instead, because this skill covers the API layer, not in-game knowledge ## Core Behaviors **Always:** - Use ESI v2+ endpoints where available - Implement ETag caching to minimize API calls - Respect rate limits (error limit headers) - Use bulk endpoints over individual lookups - Handle token refresh automatically - Validate scopes before making authenticated calls **Never:** - Hardcode client IDs or secrets — because leaked credentials grant full account access to every authorized character - Ignore rate limit headers (`X-ESI-Error-Limit-Remain`) — because hitting the error limit results in a temporary IP ban from all ESI endpoints - Make sequential calls when bulk endpoints exist — because it wastes rate limit budget and adds unnecessary latency - Cache data beyond its `Expires` header — because stale market/wallet data leads to incorrect decisions and lost ISK - Store refresh tokens in plaintext — because refresh tokens grant persistent access and are the primary target for credential theft ## EVE SSO OAuth2 Flow ```python # 1. Authorization URL AUTH_URL = "https://login.eveonline.com/v2/oauth/authorize" TOKEN_URL = "https://login.eveonline.com/v2/oauth/token" JWKS_URL = "https://login.eveonline.com/oauth/jwks" # 2. Required parameters params = { "response_type": "code", "redirect_uri": CALLBACK_URL, "client_id": CLIENT_ID, "scope": "esi-skills.read_skills.v1 esi-wallet.read_character_wallet.v1", "state": secrets.token_urlsafe(32), } # 3. Token exchange def exchange_code(code: str) -> dict: """Exchange authorization code for access + refresh tokens.""" resp = httpx.post(TOKEN_URL, data={ "grant_type": "authorization_code", "code": code, "client_id": CLIENT_ID, "code_verifier": CODE_VERIFIER, # PKCE }) resp.raise_for_status() return resp.json() # 4. Token refresh def refresh_token(refresh: str) -> dict: resp = httpx.post(TOKEN_URL, data={ "grant_type": "refresh_token", "refresh_token": refresh, "client_id": CLIENT_ID, }) resp.raise_for_status() return resp.json() # 5. JWT verification import jose.jwt def verify_token(access_token: str) -> dict: jwks = httpx.get(JWKS_URL).json() return jose.jwt.decode(access_token, jwks, algorithms=["RS256"], issuer="login.eveonline.com") ``` ## ESI Client Pattern ```python import httpx from datetime import datetime, timezone class ESIClient: BASE = "https://esi.evetech.net/latest" def __init__(self, access_token: str | None = None): self.session = httpx.Client( base_url=self.BASE, headers={"User-Agent": "your-app contact@example.com"}, timeout=30.0, ) if access_token: self.session.headers["Authorization"] = f"Bearer {access_token}" self._etag_cache: dict[str, tuple[str, Any]] = {} def get(self, path: str, **params) -> Any: """GET with ETag caching and rate limit handling.""" headers = {} cache_key = f"{path}:{sorted(params.items())}" if cache_key in self._etag_cache: etag, _ = self._etag_cache[cache_key] headers["If-None-Match"] = etag resp = self.session.get(path, params=params, headers=headers) # Rate limit check remaining = int(resp.headers.get("X-ESI-Error-Limit-Remain", 100)) if remaining < 20: reset = int(resp.headers.get("X-ESI-Error-Limit-Reset", 60)) time.sleep(reset) if resp.status_code == 304: return self._etag_cache[cache_key][1] resp.raise_for_status() data = resp.json() if "ETag" in resp.headers: self._etag_cache[cache_key] = (resp.headers["ETag"], data) return data def get_paginated(self, path: str, **params) -> list: """Fetch all pages of a paginated endpoint.""" results = [] page = 1 while True: resp = self.session.get(path, params={**params, "page": page}) resp.raise_for_status() results.extend(resp.json()) total_pages = int(resp.headers.get("X-Pages", 1)) if page >= total_pages: break page += 1 return results ``` ## Common Endpoint Patterns ```python # Character info (public) char = esi.get(f"/characters/{char_id}/") # Market orders (regional, paginated) orders = esi.get_paginated(f"/markets/{region_id}/orders/", order_type="sell", type_id=34) # Universe type info (with localization) item = esi.get(f"/universe/types/{type_id}/", language="en") # Bulk ID resolution names = esi.session.post(f"{ESIClient.BASE}/universe/names/", json=[30000142, 500001, 1000125]).json() # Character skills (authenticated) skills = esi.get(f"/characters/{char_id}/skills/") # Wallet journal (authenticated, paginated) journal = esi.get_paginated(f"/characters/{char_id}/wallet/journal/") # Industry jobs (authenticated) jobs = esi.get(f"/characters/{char_id}/industry/jobs/", include_completed=True) ``` ## Key ESI Scopes | Scope | Access | |-------|--------| | `esi-skills.read_skills.v1` | Character skills and queue | | `esi-wallet.read_character_wallet.v1` | Wallet balance and journal | | `esi-assets.read_assets.v1` | Character assets | | `esi-markets.read_character_orders.v1` | Active market orders | | `esi-industry.read_character_jobs.v1` | Industry jobs | | `esi-universe.read_structures.v1` | Structure info | | `esi-corporations.read_corporation_membership.v1` | Corp members | ## Data Model Patterns ```python from dataclasses import dataclass from datetime import datetime @dataclass class MarketOrder: order_id: int type_id: int location_id: int price: float volume_remain: int volume_total: int is_buy_order: bool issued: datetime duration: int min_volume: int = 1 range: str = "station" @dataclass class IndustryJob: job_id: int blueprint_type_id: int activity_id: int # 1=manufacturing, 3=TE, 4=ME, 5=copying, 8=invention runs: int start_date: datetime end_date: datetime status: str # active, delivered, cancelled, paused, ready # SDE type mapping ACTIVITY_MAP = {1: "Manufacturing", 3: "TE Research", 4: "ME Research", 5: "Copying", 8: "Invention", 9: "Reactions"} ``` ## Error Handling ```python class ESIError(Exception): def __init__(self, status: int, error: str): self.status = status self.error = error # Common errors: # 403 - Token expired or missing scope # 404 - Entity doesn't exist (character biomassed, structure destroyed) # 420 - Rate limited (error limit reached) # 502/503 - ESI backend issues (retry with backoff) # 504 - Gateway timeout (retry) RETRIABLE = {502, 503, 504} def esi_get_with_retry(client, path, retries=3, **params): for attempt in range(retries): try: return client.get(path, **params) except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e: if e.response.status_code in RETRIABLE and attempt < retries - 1: time.sleep(2 ** attempt) continue raise ESIError(e.response.status_code, e.response.text) ```
