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> The data returned by ESI is in the JSON format.

Most ESI endpoints don't have rate-limits, but are error-limited instead, meaning an ESI application is blocked if it makes too many erroneous requests. However, there are two notable exceptions: The <code>/v2/characters/{character_id}/corporationhistory/<code> and the <code>/v1/markets/{region_id}/history/<code> endpoints have rate limits of 300 requests per IP per minute.<ref>https://forums.eveonline.com/t/resolved-esi-characters-corporation-history/391132/27</ref><ref>https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/eve-evolved-the-future-of-eves-api</ref> This rate limit is unfortunately not documented in the ESI docs.
