Safety: Your SSO username and password are completely safe from the third party application you're logging in to. When logging in to another service with SSO, you are actually logging on to the SSO server via a website hosted by CCP themselves. This setup is the core of an authentication method called OAuth (and its newer version, OAuth2). OAuth/OAuth2 are very widely used today, and act as the core component for logs on most social media giants, including Facebook, Twitter, and Google, including any other site that allows you to use those Social Media accounts to log in to them.

EVE Swagger Interface (ESI) is an API that can be used by [[Third-party_tools|third party applications]] to interact with data from the EVE game servers. It replaces [[CREST]] and the XML API which were shut down on May 8th, 2018.<ref>https://developers.eveonline.com/blog/article/important-information-on-the-future-of-the-eve-api</ref>

ESI has both public-data and authenticated endpoints, the latter of which require a character to log in via [[~~Eve~~ SSO]] to their character account to gain access to information specific to their character or, provided they have the appropriate corporate roles, their corporation. At present there are 81 public-data and 125 Authenticated endpoints (206 total).

CCP has indicated that their goal is to completely replace the [[Static Data Export|Static Data Export]] (SDE) with ESI, but as of December 2019, there are still many missing features.

ESI and SSO are commonly used together, however they do have independent features and uses as well. For this reason, they have been split into their own articles. See [[SSO]] for information regarding the character authentication (and management thereof) aspect.
