API docs

Hello people

I’m trying to build my first application. It will use only public data to calculate useful info for private personal purposes. I can’t find enough explanations in documentation.

I must read regions, systems and “types” data from downloaded static YAML files, is it right ?

Also, is it mandatory to register my application if it will use only public data for private purposes?

I will also let others, more experienced people, correct me, but I mainly used www.fuzzwork.co.uk which contains CSV/xls etc formats that made it very easy for me to extract the data I wanted.

I think the reason you register your application is mainly to get your eve client ID and secret (for example to have SSO). If you don’t need those I don’t think you “need” to register.

Thank you for idea about fuzzwork, didn’t know there’s SCV files, it will make things much easier.
