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.

Hello. If somebody have problem with importing data to INARA:

Launch Elite Dangerous, wait until You see "continue/exit" screen, then ALT - TAB to inara and press import.

Working for me everytime.

Have good day.

Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve personal commander logs via API? I'm interested especially in the missions log, but it would be great to have the possibility to get all kinds of personal logs via API.

Hello, not at the moment, if do you mean Inara API. It's not exactly a planned feature currently, but it may be possible that such functionality will be added later.

I just have to say that I'm very happy with the Xbox data sync. It's been awesome being able to look over my status without having to log into the game itself. Also, seeing everything at a glance is super easy.

Thanks for adding this feature.

I too would really like to get my hands on the commander logs from Inara API. Honestly, I wouldn't mind retrieving them in any way possible.

My hard drive burned up and I lost my commander logs. I have found no way to retrieve them back onto my system. I really like to use ED Discovery, but now most of my existing history is missing.

Is the API still working correctly? When I try to upload my fleet, it immediately says my data is imported but it's not updating.

Does anyone know if it is permitted to use the same Inara API key on primary and secondary Elite Dangerous commander accounts?
12 Nov 2019, 11:26am
It is permitted, but not recommended, because you will update one Inara account by the data of two game accounts, which will cause a huge mess in your records. So set and use individual API keys for the individual accounts. I also recommend to turn the option "Cancel update when a commander name doesn't match" on, to prevent incorrect updates when the other key is used by mistake. Another option is to use the auto-updates (Import Frontier Data feature) without messing with the API keys.

Hi, Just wondering if there's any known issue with thargoid data. On the war screen I have zero scout and interceptor kills and zero rescues.
I have undertake all of these activities.
The rest of my cmdr data is fine, credits ranks, ships etc

Any advice?
13 Nov 2019, 1:46pm
I was just about to ask the same. I just imported for the first time but I see no thargoid kills, but I definitely do have a few.

The data are taken just from the recent kills/rescues as there are no lifetime values in the journals. It seems I forgot to mention it in the note there. So unless Frontier will add such numbers to the in-game statistics, there is currently the only way how to get it from the recent events.
