Static Data Export

CCP provides developers a series of static files, known as the Static Data Export(SDE), which contains static data from the Tranquility server. The SDE is currently exported as .yaml and .static files, however, different and easier to use formats(mentioned below) are made by the community. The SDE can be found at the EVE developers Services and Resource page. All resources provided by CCP are subject to the developer license agreement.

Fuzzwork SDE Conversions

To aide fellow developers and players in consuming this data without having to extract or convert from YAML or static format every time Steve Ronuken has hosted conversions in PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, MSSQL, and CSV formats. They can be found at Fuzzwork under SDE or more directly at www.fuzzwork.co.uk/dump. Individual table data can be found in CSV and SQL (MySQL) formats here www.fuzzwork.co.uk/dump/latest.

Opening a file from Fuzzwork SDE Conversions

To extract data from compressed files, use tar for .tar.bz2 files or bunzip2 for .bz2 files in Linux, and something like 7-zip for either format in windows. Once extracted the files can be opened in the appropriate application that supports the file format.

How does the ESI fit into all this?

The EVE Swagger Interface intends to have endpoints to account for all of the SDE, currently, it's not quite there yet, and the SDE is needed for many projects. The progress can be tracked here.

How to implement the original SDE into your application

Step 0: Preface

This is not a guide to Python or programming, if you don't know how to program, there are tons of resources to learn to code, there are a few of my favorites in the External Links section down below, if your having issues, contact me at Asgore Astroficus (talk).

Step 1: Opening the file

Firstly, find the file containing the data you need, for this example, I'm going to use fsd/blueprints.yaml. This file contains all the information required to build an industry cost predictor. Next, open the file using your desired programming language, I'm going to use python, so to open this I'll run with open("fsd/blueprints.yaml", "r") as f:. The file is open! To the next step!

Step 2: Reading the file

Step 2.1: Installing PyYAML

Assuming you're using pip, this should be as simple as pip install pyyaml. If you having issues, contact me at Asgore Astroficus (talk) or have a look at this article.

Step 2.2: Interpreting the file

Now that PyYAML is installed, we need to use it to parse our file, we have already opened it, so it should just be a matter of parsing it with PyYAML, which can be done by blueprints = yaml.load(f, Loader=yaml.FullLoader), remember to have import yaml at the top of your .py file. Hopefully now if you print out the blueprints variable, your console will be filled with sweet, sweet data and the taste of success. The data will be a dictionary, and the rest from here should be relatively simple, it should just be navigating through the data as if it was a dictionary.

Step 3: Postface

I hope this short guide helped you somewhat get into the SDE, I might write one for the Fuzzwork conversions soon. If you have any issues, pop me a message here Asgore Astroficus (talk).
