An OpenAPI for EVE Online ESI API
A module to allow access to CCP's EVE Online ESI API. This module offers:
- Versioned Endpoints
- OAuth2 authentication to login.eveonline.com
- Handle many tokens, with different scopes.
- 100% ESI API coverage.
- context.Context passthrough (for httptrace, logging, etc).
go get github.com/antihax/goesi
client := goesi.NewAPIClient(&http.Client, "MyApp ([email protected] dude on slack)")
One client should be created that will serve as an agent for all requests. This allows http2 multiplexing and keep-alive be used to optimize connections. It is also good manners to provide a user-agent describing the point of use of the API, allowing CCP to contact you in case of emergencies.
Example:
client := goesi.NewAPIClient(context.Background(), "my esi client http://mysite.com contact <SomeDude> ingame")
result, response, err := client.V#.Endpoint.Operation(requestContext, requiredParam, &esi.OperationOpts{
Optional1: optional.NewString("someValue"),
Optional2: optional.NewFloat64(1234.56),
})
- Create a descriptive user agent so CCP can contact you (preferably on devfleet slack).
- Obey Cache Timers.
- Obey error rate limits: https://developers.eveonline.com/blog/article/error-limiting-imminent
Caching is not implimented by the client and thus it is required to utilize a caching http client. It is highly recommended to utilize a client capable of caching the entire cluster of API clients.
An example using gregjones/httpcache and memcache:
import (
"github.com/bradfitz/gomemcache/memcache"
"github.com/gregjones/httpcache"
httpmemcache "github.com/gregjones/httpcache/memcache"
)
func main() {
// Connect to the memcache server
cache := memcache.New(MemcachedAddresses...)
// Create a memcached http client for the CCP APIs.
transport := httpcache.NewTransport(httpmemcache.NewWithClient(cache))
transport.Transport = &http.Transport{Proxy: http.ProxyFromEnvironment}
client = &http.Client{Transport: transport}
// Get our API Client.
eve := goesi.NewAPIClient(client, "My user agent, contact somewhere@nowhere")
}
You should support using ETags if you are requesting data that is frequently not changed. IF you are using httpcache, it supports etags already. If you are not using a cache middleware, you will want to create your own middleware like this.
package myetagpackage
type contextKey string
func (c contextKey) String() string {
return "mylib " + string(c)
}
// ContextETag is the context to pass etags to the transport
var (
ContextETag = contextKey("etag")
)
// Custom transport to chain into the HTTPClient to gather statistics.
type ETagTransport struct {
Next *http.Transport
}
// RoundTrip wraps http.DefaultTransport.RoundTrip to provide stats and handle error rates.
func (t *ETagTransport) RoundTrip(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error) {
if etag, ok := req.Context().Value(ContextETag).(string); ok {
req.Header.Set("if-none-match", etag)
}
// Run the request.
return t.Next.RoundTrip(req)
}
This is then looped in the transport, and passed through a context like so:
func main() {
// Loop in our middleware
client := &http.Client{Transport: &ETagTransport{Next: &http.Transport{}}}
// Make a new client with the middleware
esiClient := goesi.NewAPIClient(client, "MyApp ([email protected] dude on slack)")
// Make a request with the context
ctx := context.WithValue(context.Background(), myetagpackage.ContextETag, "etag goes here")
regions, _, err := esiClient.UniverseApi.GetUniverseRegions(ctx, nil)
if err != nil {
return err
}
}
Register your application at https://developers.eveonline.com/ to get your secretKey, clientID, and scopes.
Obtaining tokens for client requires two HTTP handlers. One to generate and redirect to the SSO URL, and one to receive the response.
It is mandatory to create a random state and compare this state on return to prevent token injection attacks on the application.
pseudocode example:
func main() {
var err error
ctx := appContext.AppContext{}
ctx.ESI = goesi.NewAPIClient(httpClient, "My App, contact someone@nowhere")
ctx.SSOAuthenticator = goesi.NewSSOAuthenticator(httpClient, clientID, secretKey, scopes)
}
func eveSSO(c *appContext.AppContext, w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request,
s *sessions.Session) (int, error) {
// Generate a random state string
b := make([]byte, 16)
rand.Read(b)
state := base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString(b)
// Save the state on the session
s.Values["state"] = state
err := s.Save(r, w)
if err != nil {
return http.StatusInternalServerError, err
}
// Generate the SSO URL with the state string
url := c.SSOAuthenticator.AuthorizeURL(state, true)
// Send the user to the URL
http.Redirect(w, r, url, 302)
return http.StatusMovedPermanently, nil
}
func eveSSOAnswer(c *appContext.AppContext, w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request,
s *sessions.Session) (int, error) {
// get our code and state
code := r.FormValue("code")
state := r.FormValue("state")
// Verify the state matches our randomly generated string from earlier.
if s.Values["state"] != state {
return http.StatusInternalServerError, errors.New("Invalid State.")
}
// Exchange the code for an Access and Refresh token.
token, err := c.SSOAuthenticator.TokenExchange(code)
if err != nil {
return http.StatusInternalServerError, err
}
// Obtain a token source (automaticlly pulls refresh as needed)
tokSrc, err := c.SSOAuthenticator.TokenSource(tok)
if err != nil {
return http.StatusInternalServerError, err
}
// Assign an auth context to the calls
auth := context.WithValue(context.TODO(), goesi.ContextOAuth2, tokSrc.Token)
// Verify the client (returns clientID)
v, err := c.SSOAuthenticator.Verify(auth)
if err != nil {
return http.StatusInternalServerError, err
}
if err != nil {
return http.StatusInternalServerError, err
}
// Save the verification structure on the session for quick access.
s.Values["character"] = v
err = s.Save(r, w)
if err != nil {
return http.StatusInternalServerError, err
}
// Redirect to the account page.
http.Redirect(w, r, "/account", 302)
return http.StatusMovedPermanently, nil
}
OAuth2 tokens are passed to endpoings via contexts. Example:
ctx := context.WithValue(context.Background(), goesi.ContextOAuth2, ESIPublicToken)
struc, response, err := client.V1.UniverseApi.GetUniverseStructuresStructureId(ctx, structureID, nil)
This is done here rather than at the client so you can use one client for many tokens, saving connections.
If you would rather not rely on public ESI for testing, a mock ESI server is available for local and CI use. Information here: https://github.com/antihax/mock-esi
If you need bleeding edge access, add the endpoint to the generator and rebuild this module. Generator is here: https://github.com/antihax/swagger-esi-goclient
