This is true. EVEMon is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. But I want more-- official support from big developers like Blizzard and Turbine, and even better tools to put all this data to good use.

Arturis is right-- a lot of cool stuff from the Armory, but it's all scrapes and hacks. Blizzard has yet to release an API like this one. Or even their own tools-- they've been rumored to be working on a cell phone app with Armory-ish functions.

One of the things I really like about how Eve did theirs is the security they built in, with the read-only and the full access web keys that are generated from the account screen.

I'd love to see guild, guild bank and other management (and logs omg omg) via APIs

Combat log data? Now you got me drooling. /infogeek
