Request: Endpoint for Alpha Skill List

[Ebag333]

Not the current player skill list, but the actual back end skill list (static data, but not in the SDE).

This isn't published anywhere (that I know of), and would be quite useful for 3rd parties.

Yep, this should be a public long-cache endpoint under skills.

In addition to an Alpha list of a skills, a full list would also be nice to have via a single endpoint.

Right now to accomplish this would require a minimum of 503 queries:

1. https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/universe/categories/16/?datasource=tranquility&language=en-us to get all the Skill Groups.
   • 1 request
2. https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/universe/groups/{{group_id}}/?datasource=tranquility&language=en-us to get the type_ids for each group.
   • 23 requests (24 groups, but 1 of them is Fake Skills)
3. And then looping over those those ids with GET /universe/types/{type_id}/ to get the skill names and published status.
   • 479 requests

It would be really nice to have a single endpoint to access Skills that would return something like:

[
  {
    "group_id": 270,
    "group_name": "Science",
    "type_id": 11442,
    "name": "Nanite Engineering",
    "published": true
  },
  ...
]

To combine both the initial alpha request and the full list, you could add an attribute for alpha-max: <integer> that would show the maximum level a alpha could have of that skill (0 meaning they can't have it).

Have to revise this. Since the list of skill_type_ids from the groups could have skills that aren't published, changed 3. above to account for the change in endpoint to universe/types and the associated change in requests.

Alpha skill lists will soon no longer be race specific (as described in https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/clone-states-the-next-steps/), so resolving this should become much easier: the permitted skill levels could simply be listed as an attribute on the skills themselves, at least until more clone states start getting added.

FYI for anyone stumbling upon this, the data is available (from a third party, me) at https://sde.hoboleaks.space/tq/clonestates.json as a workaround until such a time that an official resource provides it.
