description	Query and manage EVE Online characters via the ESI (EVE Swagger Interface) REST API. Use when the user asks about EVE Online character data, wallet balance, ISK transactions, assets, skill queue, skill points, clone locations, implants, fittings, contracts, market orders, mail, industry jobs, killmails, planetary interaction, loyalty points, or any other EVE account management task.

Data Handling

This skill communicates exclusively with the official EVE Online ESI API (esi.evetech.net) and EVE SSO (login.eveonline.com). No character data is exfiltrated to third-party servers. Optional integrations (Telegram, Discord) are user-configured via environment variables and only transmit alerts defined by the user.

EVE Online ESI

The ESI (EVE Swagger Interface) is the official REST API for EVE Online third-party development.

• Base URL: https://esi.evetech.net/latest
• Spec: https://esi.evetech.net/latest/swagger.json
• API Explorer: https://developers.eveonline.com/api-explorer

Skill Location

All scripts live at: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/eve-esi/scripts/

Always use full paths when calling scripts:

SKILL=~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/eve-esi

Authentication

Tokens are stored in ~/.openclaw/eve-tokens.json (created by auth_flow.py, chmod 600). All scripts (get_token.py, esi_query.py) read from this file directly — no env vars are required for normal operation.

First-time setup (once per character):

# 1. Set up SSH tunnel on your local PC:
#    ssh -L 8080:127.0.0.1:8080 user@your-server -N
# 2. Run auth flow on server (pass Client ID directly):
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/eve-esi/scripts/auth_flow.py --client-id <YOUR_CLIENT_ID> --char-name main
# 3. Open the shown URL in browser, log in with EVE account

Get a fresh access token (tokens expire after ~20min, refresh is automatic):

TOKEN=$(python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/eve-esi/scripts/get_token.py --char main)

List authenticated characters:

python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/eve-esi/scripts/get_token.py --list

For full OAuth2/PKCE details: see references/authentication.md.

For contracts, fittings, mail, industry, killmails, market orders, mining, planetary interaction, loyalty points, notifications, blueprints, standings, and all other character endpoints, see references/endpoints.md.

Dashboard Config

The skill supports a modular dashboard config for alerts, reports, and market tracking. Each user defines what they need in a JSON config file.

• Schema: config/schema.json — full JSON Schema with all fields, types, and defaults
• Example: config/example-config.json — ready-to-use template

Features

Module	Description
Alerts	Real-time polling for war decs, structure attacks, skill completions, wallet changes, industry jobs, PI extractors, killmails, contracts, clone jumps, mail
Reports	Cron-scheduled summaries: net worth, skill queue, industry, market orders, wallet, assets
Market	Price tracking with absolute thresholds and trend detection

Security

Tokens should not be stored in plain text. Use environment variable references:

{
  "token": "$ENV:EVE_TOKEN_MAIN",
  "refresh_token": "$ENV:EVE_REFRESH_MAIN"
}

The config file should live outside the workspace (e.g. ~/.openclaw/eve-dashboard-config.json).

Validate a config

python scripts/validate_config.py path/to/config.json

# Show example config
python scripts/validate_config.py --example

# Show JSON schema
python scripts/validate_config.py --schema

Using the query script

SKILL=~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/eve-esi
TOKEN=$(python3 $SKILL/scripts/get_token.py --char main)
CHAR_ID=$(python3 $SKILL/scripts/get_token.py --char main --json | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin))" 2>/dev/null)

# Simple query
python3 $SKILL/scripts/esi_query.py --token "$TOKEN" --endpoint "/characters/$CHAR_ID/wallet/" --pretty

# Fetch all pages of assets
python3 $SKILL/scripts/esi_query.py --token "$TOKEN" --endpoint "/characters/$CHAR_ID/assets/" --pages --pretty

# POST request (e.g. asset names)
python3 $SKILL/scripts/esi_query.py --token "$TOKEN" --endpoint "/characters/$CHAR_ID/assets/names/" \
  --method POST --body '[1234567890]' --pretty

Best practices

• Caching: respect the Expires header; do not poll before it expires.
• Error limits: monitor X-ESI-Error-Limit-Remain; back off when low.
• User-Agent: always set a descriptive User-Agent with contact info.
• Rate limits: some endpoints (mail, contracts) have internal rate limits returning HTTP 520.
• Pagination: check the X-Pages response header; iterate with ?page=N.
• Versioning: use /latest/ for current stable routes. /dev/ may change without notice.

Resolving type IDs

ESI returns numeric type IDs (e.g. for ships, items, skills). Resolve names via:

# Single type
curl -s "https://esi.evetech.net/latest/universe/types/587/"

# Bulk names (up to 1000 IDs)
curl -s -X POST "https://esi.evetech.net/latest/universe/names/" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '[587, 638, 11393]'
