Inara API

More about Inara API is on the API page, general dev guidelines are here and more detailed documentation about the events and data format here.

Just a note for tool authors using Inara API - please ensure your apps are doing  TWO requests per minute AT MAXIMUM. As I have discovered, many users are using multiple apps at once (nothing wrong with that), but are also updating their profiles from all of the applications at once, which is causing quite serious overhead. For such reason, I have needed to make API requests limits much tighter. For bots and other similar non-demanding apps are requests rates set same as before. If do you need another requests rate limit, please send me a PM.

Inara API update for Odyssey:
  • The header property isDeveloped was renamed to less confusing isBeingDeveloped. You don't need to change anything on your end though, the old property will still work.
  • A new event addCommanderTravelLand for commanders landing on the celestial body was added (should be triggered at journal's Touchdown, DropShipDeploy and similar).
  • The events addCommanderTravelCarrierJump, addCommanderTravelDock, addCommanderTravelFSDJump and setCommanderTravelLocation now contain optional properties for the star system coordinates, celestial body and celestial body coordinates. It's not required to set, it may however help to further precise commander's location when the star system is not in the database, etc.
  • The events addCommanderTravelDock, addCommanderTravelFSDJump and addCommanderTravelLand are now having boolean properties isTaxiShuttle and isTaxiDropship for travelling with Apex or Frontline Solutions ships.
  • New events setCommanderInventory, resetCommanderInventory, setCommanderInventoryItem, addCommanderInventoryItem and delCommanderInventoryItem added. Those are supposed for handling the new Odyssey events like ShipLockerMaterials and similar, you can however use it also for the existing engineering materials or ship cargo instead of the existing dedicated events (but you do not need to, they are not going anywhere).
  • New events setCommanderSuitLoadout, updateCommanderSuitLoadout and delCommanderSuitLoadout for the suit loadouts added.

Aleks ZakharovGot this problem with every sync

Please give it five minutes (to be sure, it's important to give the Frontier's server some time to finish its job) and try again. If it won't work even on second or third try, please drop me a PM and I will adjust your import date.

Inara API should be filtering out market data from fleet carriers with docking restrictions. They aren't buying, just transfering credits between friends or alts. It's wasting time for those of us looking for a Tritium market.

Hi all.
Every time I try to authenticate my account with Frontier Development servers, it just gets stuck on the redirect page. Tried through steam as well. Anyone else having this problem?

Hello, it seems to be working alright to me, just tested.

StarmarinerInara API should be filtering out market data from fleet carriers with docking restrictions. They aren't buying, just transfering credits between friends or alts. It's wasting time for those of us looking for a Tritium market.

The outputs are filtered already - no carriers with confirmed "non-All" docking access are listed. Just those with confirmed "All" access (marked with blue "A" ) and those with unknown access (use at your own risk).

Exactly the same for me, auto updates stopped a few months back and can't be restarted as it won't auth through steam...

Is there a JSON API to collect Inara data about a Minor Factor and/or Systems/stations (ie. the same data available on a page like https://inara.cz/galaxy-minorfaction/?search=Inara%20Nexus)? Or is the Inara API just for the Commanders log?

None for such things, but you may be interested in elitebgs.app's API to get some BgS stuff.

Thanks. I had seen that but it always seemed to be much slower to update than Inara and ROSS doesn't easily allow editing/fixing things that are wrong (half the time I get an error and the other half it's really slow!). Inara is just so much better!

I'm thinking about developing an application and was wondering if there's any way for me to access Inara's crafting lists using the API. I'm not seeing anything about it here on Inara or in searches for other 3rd party tools for E:D. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction? I think it would be really nice to be able to integrate my application with Inara.

Not in the API at the moment, but it's something I may add there in the future.

Dunno if this is API related, but it's a bit awkward to control ranks for squadrons when there's several more ranks on Inara than in game.
07 Sep 2020, 9:47am
You can use just a few of them then, not all ranks needs to be used. Having a wide selection of ranks in squadrons is a popular demand and it's also useful for the squadron organization, so no rank removal is planned.

When I try to import Frontier data I get following error message:

There was a problem with Frontier's service while requesting the data. Please try to re-link your account (reset account link in the Settings) and repeat your request.
[httpCode: 0, fetchCode: 28]

Tried to reset the account link twice but still get the same error. Any suggestion how to solve this?

I have adjusted your import date a little bit to skip the problematic journal, please try again.
