EVE Online has always been one of the most open and accessible MMORPGs in terms of in-game data. The new Tyrannis expansion, recently delayed a week to May 26th, will expand on the game's history of making its APIs (application programming interface) available to players and enterprising programmers.
"In Tyrannis we are delivering a vastly improved contacts system and the new calendar. For these features, we will be providing a new set of APIs for you to consume in your own applications. Not only will we expose this new data to you, we have made some changes to existing APIs, and two Outpost related APIs have been added to help ease outpost management," writes CCP Stillman in an EVE dev blog entry posted earlier today.
Whether the new APIs are incorporated into the the plethora of player-developed EVE tools already in existence, or they inspire the creation of entirely new programs, we can't wait to see what New Eden's residents do with the new information. You can check out all the details over at the EVE dev blog.

I'd hoped for more out of the API add-ons, but this is something. Full mail content (body text) would have been nice.

who would you be giving full api to anyway?
yes theres a few websites that make use of it for market orders and such, but I highly doubt the person who created the tool feels like spying through the 9million evemails
I often skim through 2-3 then hit mark all as read as theres so many damned copied emails forwarded around through my corp lol, so silly to see the exact same mail from 5 different people through out the alliance -_-
