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.

Ah ok thanks for the answer Artie , so my next question is, considering my information is only entered in by EDMC (and not manually), why aren't all of my entries "verified"?

That's because it's still considered as entered by user as the information can be altered (although it was made automatically via API). The data marked as "verified" are get right from the Frontier's server, so the risk of data manipulation is minimal.

Hey, can anyone help me with tracking my Thargoid kills? I've downloaded EDMC and the Canonn plugin. EDMC seems to send information to Inara just fine, but even with the Canonn plugin installed, it still isn't tracking my Thargoid kills. Have I missed something, or is there a better way to get Thargoid kills sent to Inara?

Hello,
please use the direct journal import (via Import Frontier data on your CMDR page). As the Thargoid kills are used for medals and Thargoid war stats/rankings, Inara requires verified data for that.

Thanks for the reply. I've manually imported my journal file but still nothing. Is there a different journal file I have to import from somewhere?

Hang on, I tried letting it import Frontier data automatically (it wouldn't let me yesterday which is why I tried to do it manually today) and that's worked, thank you!  :D

Ah, I forgot to add - the Thargoid kills are not counted in retrospectively, because there is no lifetime value in the journals and until Frontier will add something like that into journals, is not possible to get. So only the recent kills are counted in (Inara tracks the individual kill events in the journals). As I see, you have some numbers in already, so I suppose it works as intended.

Hello,
there is no such option. But as you are the author of the entry, you can just copy the link (or text itself) to the Discord, it's just a few seconds of extra "work".

For the past few days or so I haven't been able to make the connection between Inara and Frontiers data to import my CMDR data into Inara.

When I click the 'Import Frontier Data' button in Inara it tries for a minute or two then says:

"The Frontier's service is down or didn't return any relevant data, please try to repeat your request later.
[httpCode: 504, fetchCode: 0] "

Anyone else got this issue or is it just me?

I just did it and it worked fine. Maybe try logging out of everything and turning it off and on again?

I have done. It was turned on originally but stopped updating. I have logged out and back in and tried to re-enable it but now it won't enable.

It was solved via Inara Discord, but for anybody else who may meet this rare error - it seems to be similar to the well-know error 28 and if nothing else works, just let me know and I will adjust your import date to skip the day(s) Frontier's server is refusing to provide the journal(s).

It's a subject to change and I would like to replace the "adopt" tag by some automated/slightly different solution soon. So, no way at the moment, but for the future just keep the desired faction assigned to your squadron and will work then.
