Inara updates, bug reports, requests
When you try to link your accounts, you may receive the http error 400 about expired tokens. It's an issue on Frontier's end that I cannot solve on Inara. Fortunately, the solution is simple - please give it a few days and it will start to work later (probably when the access token on their cAPI server expires). If the error 400 appeared later and it worked before, try to reauthenticate as said in the error message (may be just a regular reauth forced by Frontier). Alternatively, you can try to use the workaround below. If even that won't work, it's the problem described above.
Please vote for the issue on the official bug tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/21258
Possible workaround: Try to connect the account while you are in the game. It may work.
Game data and imports not available for console commanders and PC players with Legacy game version
Inara supports only the Live game version (so PC Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey) since game update 14, thus all the game data on the site and the commander data imports work only for those game versions.

CES BlackratIt seems that every time I import my journal, it updates my credit total to what I had at the start of the *previous* flight session - so my credit total figure on Inara is always one session behind. Everything else seems to update to the latest value, just not my credit total.
Am I doing something wrong?
You’re not doing anything wrong.
However from my understanding Inara only update the credit total when there is a LoadGame event in the journal
This event is only generated when going from the main menu to the game, and unfortunately not when leaving the game.
A workaround you can use, is to go back to main menu then back in game one more time before leaving, to have the latest value in the log ;-)

That's what I do and it works very well. It just adds a few more minutes to your quitting process but I do like seeing all my current data displayed on Inara.

Nothing wrong. FD does not adjust credits earned in the log to account for crew earnings so Inara just shows the latest predictable/consistent value.

I posted this in "Inara API" as well, not sure exactly where it belongs...
I'm a relatively new player, and I'm trying to connect Inara to my game data.
I click the "Link Your Account" button, and select Steam (as that's how I access the game).
I enter my login and password, and authenticate via Steam's 2 factor authorization on my mobile phone.
It finds my Steam account and I click "Sign In'
I'm then taken back to Inara's site, where I get the following error message:
An error occured or the access was denied. Please try to connect to Frontier Authentication Service again, grant Inara a permission to access your data there or wait a while if the service is offline.
Details: Access denied by user.
I've repeated the process a dozen times, and I get the same response. I can't figure out why I'm unable to connect my Frontier account to Inara via Steam.
Is anyone able to help get me on track?
Thanks in advance.

You've posted your query in exactly the right place. The author of Inara, Artie, will answer as soon as he's able.

I've got another enhancement request.
Would it be possible to add a My Systems page which showed systems in the same format as the Minor Factions page (with the addition of the system owner in the table).
This would be helpful for players who don't have a faction, but also for faction players who want to monitor systems they don't yet control.
Users would manually add a list of systems, even if you limited it to say 20 systems it would be super useful.
Thanks muchly for the fabulous site.

CES BlackratOk cool, thanks everyone for clarifying. I'm glad I hadn't missed something obvious! Maybe I'll try logging back in at the end of each session as you suggest.
As others wrote. But, I would like to change that however, so the credits/assets will be written on the session end instead (I would like to tie it to a transactions log feature, too).
NumaSome minor feature request, if you have the time. I'd like to be able to sort the ship statistics page by set as main alternatively.
Not immediately, as there isn't complicated to get the overview from the table, but I will add that to the ToDo list.

Hello, yes. I think I have something similar on my list already, related to the favorite star systems. No ETA, though.
NemnutsHi Inara ED Fam,

Thanks in advance.
Please try to use Frontier login instead, I suppose that should work (as your Steam account may not be connected to your Frontier account).

connecting via Frontier worked
now I've got another silly question... how do I get my commander avatar to import? or does it at all?
I've found the Account Settings in which I can upload an avatar, but is there a way to import that from Frontier along with the rest of my commander data?
Otherwise, how do the rest of you go about pulling your commander avatar from the game for upload here?
Thanks!

I visited LHS 1097 yesterday and today, but the latest data is actually yesterday's data.
Feb 27th 2:46pm is correct, Feb 28th 3:46pm is correct, but Feb 28th 5:55pm is actually the data from the 27th.
I visited the system again just now but it hasn't updated Inara for some reason.

Inara doesn't pull your Commander avatar. You need to take a screenie and save it to your PC, then import it on your commander profile page.
No such thing as a silly question. They're just questions you don't yet know the answers to!

Aunty SledgeI've noticed some odd thing in the system status pages. Happiness states have been going from Elated to Discontented in a couple of systems, plus data from yesterday is being reported as today.

Feb 27th 2:46pm is correct, Feb 28th 3:46pm is correct, but Feb 28th 5:55pm is actually the data from the 27th.

It came in that way, probably some cached data client-side. As those data "pretends" they are actual it's complicated to catch. They are usually override by the correct newest data shortly, anyway. I see the update was made around your timestamp.

Yes it has been corrected now. Took a while for my update to come through, I updated at 9pm'ish but didn't see it change last night, it is showing the last update at 6:36pm. So I'm confused about the timing. I did CTRL-F5 but didn't see any changes, server cache perhaps?
Sanna is showing as DIscontented again when it is actually Elated.
