In order to prevent unauthorised access to private character/corporation data, the API uses an ''API Key''. This is a randomly-generated string that essentially works as a password for API calls. Account owners generate their own API keys through [~~http~~://community.eveonline.com/support/api-key/ this page]. That page also informs you of your unique numeric user ID, which is used in API calls instead of your username. This allows a degree of trust with third-party applications, in that they neither need to know your login name or password.

Note that at time of writing, a new API Key system allowing more granular access permissions was in development, and is discussed [~~http~~://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=912 here].

A number of third-party libraries are available for PHP programmers, which will do the bulk of the work for you. For the purposes of these examples, we will be using [~~http~~://sourceforge.net/projects/eve-apiphp/ Ale] - make sure you have downloaded this and placed a copy on your webserver.
