Introduction
The Carbon RESTful (CREST) HTTP API is a read and write API to the EVE Universe. It gives the ability to interact with the game cluster in an effective manner from clients and applications other than the EVE game client. Although not all CREST endpoints been released yet, there are plenty of useful public endpoints available at this time, with more being released on a regular basis.
Resources
CCP exposes various things in EVE Online as resources, each of which have a canonical URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). CREST allows third-party developers to obtain (and read) representations of these resources by making an appropriate HTTP GET request to the resource's URI. Resources can be appended (written to), by making an appropriate HTTP PUT request, and deleted by making a correct HTTP DELETE request to the resource's URI.
All resources can be reached from the root API entry point URI, which will be shortened to entry point from here forward. Entry points will be discussed more in-depth later, in their own section.
