=What is the EVE Uni API key=

The University requires every one of its members, may it be students, staff or faculty, to provide an API key. What in the name of Bob is an API key, will you ask ? Well, it is a tool CCP devised in order to allow 3rd party tools (such as EVEmon, EFT, Pyfa, Fleet-up, to name a few) to pull information from your account '''without being able to take any actions in your stead''' - in short, it allows you to give a very controlled monitoring right to a third party.

Line 19:

Don't forget to tick the "No expiry" checkbox such as the API key doesn't stop working after a year (by default). This will make sure you do not have to go through this process again unless there is a change in our required API mask (the information the API key gives access to).

~~[[File:API-no-expiry-checkbox.png]]~~

~~Select only~~ the ~~following fields (a selected field appears yellow) ~~

Below you can see the information that is requested for an E-UNI API:

~~Private Information~~:~~ ~~

~~-Skills ~~

~~-AccountStatus ~~

~~-CharacterInfo ~~

~~-SkillQueue ~~

~~-SkillInTraining ~~

~~Public Information~~:~~ ~~

[[File:Api.PNG]]

~~-CharacterInfo ~~

~~-Standings ~~

~~-Medals ~~

~~-KillLog ~~

~~Leave all other fields unselected (no yellow highlight) ~~

Now it's just a matter of generating the API and copying the API Key ID and verification code into the E-Uni tool.

Now it's just a matter of ~~validating~~ the ~~creation of the API key.~~

~~[SUBMIT]~~

~~WAIT AT LEAST FIVE HOURS FOR YOUR~~ API ~~KEY TO PROPAGATE THROUGH THE SYSTEM. If a user tries to copy/paste the Key ID~~ and ~~Verification Code within an hour of generating it, the system will display an error. The user must wait at least five hours before entering~~ the API Key~~. Create your API Key, sleep,~~ and ~~try entering the information in~~ the ~~morning~~.~~ ~~

==Step three : update your Tools account with the proper API information==
