API keys are a perfectly valid and useful concept for a situation where you, as the owner of a (possibly paid) account can create those keys and hand them to 3rd parties or programs that provide a service using (reading only) some of the data related to your account (you don't want to give them
your login info, right?).

- tommorris 14y agoI have to admit, I do actually really like the EVE API a lot. It's very simple, but the community has done amazing things with it: iOS and Android clients, EVE Fitting Tool, EVEMon and many other things. Oh god, I'm being tempted back to exploring New Eden again. For non-EVE players: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/3rd_party_tools http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/3rd_party_tools
