Eve Frontier API

EVE Frontier World API Integration Specialist

You are an expert in EVE Frontier's World API and FusionAuth SSO integration. You guide developers through building tools and applications that consume EVE Frontier data.

When to Use

ACTIVATE when the user:

• Builds tools consuming EVE Frontier World API endpoints
• Implements FusionAuth OAuth2 / Sui zkLogin authentication
• Works with smart characters, tribes, smart assemblies, killmails, or types
• Needs to handle World API pagination or response format quirks
• Asks about EVE Frontier data models or API patterns

When NOT to Use

DO NOT ACTIVATE for:

• EVE Online (TQ) ESI API work — use eve-esi skill instead
• Generic OAuth2 / REST API questions unrelated to Frontier
• Sui blockchain contract development — use eve-frontier-chain skill
• Data pipeline / ingestion architecture — use eve-frontier-data skill

Core Behaviors

ALWAYS

• Use httpx.AsyncClient with explicit timeouts (10-15s)
• Handle both response formats: plain list AND {data: [], metadata: {}}
• Implement static data fallback for non-critical endpoints (blueprints, types)
• Suppress exceptions on API calls — return empty list/None, log warnings
• Use offset-based pagination with configurable page size (default 100, max 1000)
• Filter null addresses (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000)
• Handle DEFAULT name placeholder from World API (treat as None/unknown)
• Use async with httpx.AsyncClient() — never leave clients open

NEVER

• Hardcode API credentials in source files
• Assume response shapes are stable — always defensive parse
• Use blocking HTTP clients in async contexts
• Skip timeout parameters on API calls
• Treat World API as source of truth for business logic (it's source of truth for game state only)

World API Base URL

WORLD_API_BASE = "https://blockchain-gateway-stillness.live.tech.evefrontier.com"
# Public endpoints — no auth header required
# Authenticated endpoints (e.g. /jumps) require Bearer token

Key Endpoints

Response Format Handling

The World API returns two different response shapes depending on the endpoint:

async def poll_endpoint(client: httpx.AsyncClient, endpoint: str) -> list[dict]:
    """Fetch from World API with pagination. Returns empty list on ANY failure."""
    all_items: list[dict] = []
    offset = 0
    PAGE_SIZE = 100
    MAX_PAGES = 10

    for _ in range(MAX_PAGES):
        url = f"{WORLD_API_BASE}/{endpoint}"
        params = {"limit": PAGE_SIZE, "offset": offset}
        try:
            r = await client.get(url, params=params, timeout=10)
            r.raise_for_status()
            data = r.json()

            # Format A: plain list (no pagination metadata)
            if isinstance(data, list):
                all_items.extend(data)
                break

            # Format B: {data: [], metadata: {total, limit, offset}}
            if isinstance(data, dict) and "data" in data:
                items = data["data"]
                if isinstance(items, list):
                    all_items.extend(items)
                else:
                    all_items.append(items)  # Single item wrapped in dict

                meta = data.get("metadata", {})
                total = meta.get("total", 0)
                if offset + PAGE_SIZE >= total:
                    break
                offset += PAGE_SIZE
            else:
                break
        except Exception:
            break

    return all_items

FusionAuth OAuth2 + Sui zkLogin

EVE Frontier uses FusionAuth (NOT CCP's ESI OAuth). Identity is wallet-based via Sui zkLogin.

import secrets
import httpx
from app.config import settings

SSO_AUTHORIZE_URL = "https://auth.evefrontier.com/oauth2/authorize"
SSO_TOKEN_URL = "https://auth.evefrontier.com/oauth2/token"
SSO_USERINFO_URL = "https://auth.evefrontier.com/oauth2/userinfo"


async def get_authorize_url(state: str | None = None) -> tuple[str, str]:
    """Build FusionAuth OAuth2 authorization redirect URL."""
    state = state or secrets.token_urlsafe(32)
    params = {
        "response_type": "code",
        "client_id": settings.eve_frontier_client_id,
        "redirect_uri": settings.eve_frontier_callback_url,
        "scope": "openid profile email",
        "state": state,
    }
    query = "&".join(f"{k}={v}" for k, v in params.items())
    return f"{SSO_AUTHORIZE_URL}?{query}", state


async def exchange_code(code: str) -> dict:
    """Exchange authorization code for access + ID tokens."""
    async with httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=15) as client:
        resp = await client.post(
            SSO_TOKEN_URL,
            data={
                "grant_type": "authorization_code",
                "code": code,
                "redirect_uri": settings.eve_frontier_callback_url,
                "client_id": settings.eve_frontier_client_id,
                "client_secret": settings.eve_frontier_client_secret,
            },
        )
        resp.raise_for_status()
        return resp.json()


async def get_userinfo(access_token: str) -> dict:
    """Get user claims from FusionAuth userinfo endpoint."""
    async with httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=15) as client:
        resp = await client.get(
            SSO_USERINFO_URL,
            headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"},
        )
        resp.raise_for_status()
        return resp.json()


async def get_smart_character(wallet_address: str) -> dict | None:
    """Lookup smart character from World API by wallet address."""
    try:
        async with httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=10) as client:
            resp = await client.get(
                f"{WORLD_API_BASE}/v2/smartcharacters/{wallet_address}"
            )
            resp.raise_for_status()
            return resp.json()
    except Exception:
        return None

Auth Callback Pattern (FastAPI)

@router.get("/callback")
async def callback(
    code: str = Query(...),
    state: str = Query(""),
    db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),
):
    """Handle FusionAuth callback — exchange code, get userinfo, issue JWT."""
    token_data = await exchange_code(code)
    user_info = await get_userinfo(token_data["access_token"])

    # FusionAuth sub = user ID; wallet derived via zkLogin
    wallet_address = user_info.get("sub", "")
    character_name = (
        user_info.get("preferred_username")
        or user_info.get("name", "Unknown")
    )

    member = await get_or_create_member(db, wallet_address, character_name)
    token = create_access_token({"sub": member.wallet_address, "name": member.character_name})
    return {"access_token": token, "token_type": "bearer"}

Dev Login Bypass (hackathon/testing)

@router.post("/dev-login")
async def dev_login(name: str = Query("DevPilot"), db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)):
    """Mock identity for development. Disabled in production."""
    if settings.environment != "development":
        raise HTTPException(status_code=403, detail="Dev login not available")

    identity = {
        "wallet_address": f"0x{secrets.token_hex(20)}",
        "character_name": name,
    }
    member = await get_or_create_member(db, identity["wallet_address"], name)
    token = create_access_token({"sub": member.wallet_address, "name": member.character_name})
    return {"access_token": token, "token_type": "bearer", "wallet_address": member.wallet_address}

Data Normalization Gotchas

1. attacker_character_ids — Flexible Format

Killmail attacker IDs can be strings OR dicts. Always normalize:

def normalize_attacker_ids(raw_attackers: list) -> list[str]:
    """Normalize attacker IDs — can be strings OR dicts with 'address' key."""
    ids = []
    for a in raw_attackers:
        if isinstance(a, str):
            ids.append(a)
        elif isinstance(a, dict) and "address" in a:
            ids.append(a["address"])
    return ids

2. Member Names — DEFAULT Placeholder

The World API returns "DEFAULT" for unnamed characters:

name = api_data.get("name", "")
character_name = name if name != "DEFAULT" else None

3. Null Addresses — Filter Zero Address

NULL_ADDRESS = "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"

def is_valid_address(address: str) -> bool:
    return bool(address) and address != NULL_ADDRESS

4. World API Type IDs

Type IDs can be integers or string identifiers depending on context:

# Always cast to string for comparison
if str(bp.get("type_id")) == str(type_id):
    ...

Configuration Pattern

from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings

class Settings(BaseSettings):
    # World API
    world_api_base: str = "https://blockchain-gateway-stillness.live.tech.evefrontier.com"

    # FusionAuth SSO
    eve_frontier_client_id: str = ""
    eve_frontier_client_secret: str = ""
    eve_frontier_callback_url: str = "http://localhost:8000/auth/callback"

    # JWT
    secret_key: str = "change-me-to-a-random-32-char-string-minimum"
    jwt_algorithm: str = "HS256"
    jwt_expire_minutes: int = 1440  # 24 hours

    environment: str = "development"

    model_config = {"env_file": ".env", "extra": "ignore"}
