Image Server
The image server is a web server provided by CCP hosting images of characters and items, as well as corporation and alliance logos.
It is part of a group of services like the EVE Swagger Interface and Static Data Export provided by CCP for building Third-party tools.
Usage
The images follow a URL template of https://images.evetech.net/{category}/{id}/{variation}, where category, ID and variation must be replaced according to which image we want to see.
The following categories are available:
- alliances
- corporations
- characters
- types
The ID is either a alliance, corporation, character, or type ID depending on the category. See How to get ID for how to find the correct ID.
The variantion part should either be logo,render or portrait depending on the exact object. The available options for each object are listed when opening https://images.evetech.net/{category}/{id}/ (the url of the image without the variation part).
Examples
The alliance logo of EVE University with alliance ID 937872513 can be found here: https://images.evetech.net/alliances/937872513/logo.
The icon of the Rifter with type ID 587 can be found here: https://images.evetech.net/types/587/render.
Known Issues
While the image server claims to be able to display all types, for some more exotic items like the Abaddon Aurora Universalis SKIN, the image server does not return any image (which should be located at https://images.evetech.net/types/57016/icon) and fails with a HTTP error 404: Not found.
