django-eve-proxy

django-eve-proxy is a Django app that allows you to host an EVE API proxy that is open to web requests or internal requests programatically. Honors EVE API cache expiration intervals and updates as needed (which means you don't have to worry about stuff like cachedUntil).

Example Python Access

    # Query with no parameters.
    cached_doc = CachedDocument.objects.api_query('/eve/ErrorList.xml.aspx', params=None)
    # Print the results from EVE API as a string.
    print cached_doc.body

    # A query with parameters.
    cached_doc = CachedDocument.objects.api_query('/account/Characters.xml.aspx', 
      params={
       'apiKey': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 
       'userID': 'xxxxxxx'
      })
    
    # Print the results from EVE API as a string.
    print cached_doc.body

Example HTTP Access

Instead of pointing your script at http://api.eve-online.com, point it at http://proxy.yoursite.com.

Database Support

django-eve-proxy runs on all of the databases supported by Django (currently SQLite, Postgres, MySQL, Oracle, and a few others unofficially), but does experience some difficulty when using databases in encodings other than UTF-8 (which is what CCP sends their XML data back as). Notably, SQLite will run into occasional encoding errors that must be handled on your end.

Installation

To install, download the latest django-eve-proxy release from the Downloads section, run setup.py install as with any Python package, and add eve_proxy to your setting.py INSTALLED_APPS tuple. For those what would like to expose the HTTP proxy, you'll need to add an entry to your urls.py that points to eve_proxy.urls. More detailed may be found in the INSTALL file.

Example Project
