Openclaw Eve Skill

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,...

Data Handling

This skill communicates with the following external services:

• EVE Online ESI API (esi.evetech.net) — all character and universe data queries
• EVE SSO (login.eveonline.com) — OAuth2 authentication and token refresh
• zKillboard API (zkillboard.com/api/) — optional, for PVP threat assessment data (public, no auth required)
• Telegram Bot API — optional, user-configured via TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN for alert notifications
• Discord Webhooks — optional, user-configured via DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL for alert notifications

No character data is sent to third-party servers beyond the above. Telegram/Discord 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.

More endpoints

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

Using the query script

SKILL=~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/eve-esi
# Replace 'main' with your --char-name if you authenticated under a different name.
TOKEN=$(python3 $SKILL/scripts/get_token.py --char main)
# get_token.py --char-id prints just the character ID for the named character.
CHAR_ID=$(python3 $SKILL/scripts/get_token.py --char main --char-id 2>/dev/null) || \
CHAR_ID=$(python3 -c "import json, os, pathlib; p = pathlib.Path(os.environ.get('OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR', os.path.expanduser('~/.openclaw'))) / 'eve-tokens.json'; d = json.loads(p.read_text(encoding='utf-8')); chars = d.get('characters', {}); char = chars.get('main') or next(iter(chars.values()), None); print(char['character_id'] if char else '')")

# 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)

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.

Threat Assessment & Route Planning

The skill provides threat intelligence for PI systems in low/null-sec space. Data sources: ESI (kills, jumps, FW, incursions) and zKillboard (PVP activity).

ESI Threat Endpoints

Threat Assessment Scripts (Workspace)

Hinweis: Die Workspace-Skripte (threat_query.py, cache_threat_data.py, cache_market_prices.py) sind Referenz-Beschreibungen und müssen erst im Agent-Workspace erstellt werden, bevor sie genutzt werden können.

These scripts live in ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/ (not in the skill repo):

# Threat level for specific systems
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/threat_query.py --action threat_assessment --system-ids 30002537,30045337

# Threat for all PI systems across all characters
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/threat_query.py --action threat_assessment_pi

# Route with per-system threat annotation
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/threat_query.py --action route_annotated --origin 30000142 --destination 30002537

# Route from character's current location
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/threat_query.py --action route_annotated --character main --destination 30045337

# Full PI + Threat morning briefing
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/threat_query.py --action pi_briefing

Threat Levels

Level	Score	Meaning
low	0-15	Normaler PI-Betrieb
medium	15-40	Schnell rein, schnell raus
high	40-80	Nur mit Scout/Cloak
critical	80+	NICHT reinfliegen

Threat Cache

Threat data is cached in Redis (30min TTL for ESI, 1h for zKillboard). The cache is updated every 30 minutes via cron:

# Update cache manually
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cache_threat_data.py

# Show cached threat data
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/cache_threat_data.py --check

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]'
