API: How to get blocked contacts?

Hello - Using the API to get a character’s contacts, one of the documented fields is “is_blocked” (true/false). However, when I get a character’s contacts, I don’t get any of their blocked contacts. One of my characters has 361 contacts, of which 332 are blocked (because Jita, of course). However, when I fetch that character’s contacts via the API, I get only the 29 non-blocked contacts (all of which have the field “is_blocked”: false).

The way I’m reading the API docs, all of the character’s contacts should come over including the ones that are blocked. Is there another endpoint or a query parameter I need to send to get all of my characters’ contacts including blocked ones?

Thank you

Perhaps you need to check additional pages of results?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already handle that. The character I refer to with the 361 total contacts (332 blocked, 29 non-blocked) only comes back with the 1 page of 29 non-blocked contacts. I appreciate the tip though.

When I call, it works for me ?

I receive all the contacts, and some have is_blocked set to true.

I have figured out that the only ones that have is_blocked set to true are ones that you have added as a contact with a standing and then blocked them. If you block a character without adding them as a contact, you will not see that blocked character when you fetch your contacts.

So, the question is, is there any way to get a list of the characters you have blocked via the API? Doesn’t seem to be the case. :frowning:

interesting.
submit a bug ?

Thanks - that was a good idea. I found the open issue here:

It’s more than a 7 1/2-year old request, but about 3 months ago someone removed the in-backlog label so hopefully that’s an encouraging sign… (?) :slight_smile:

Backlog means it’s to be done.
removing it means it’s not to be done.

That being said, this issue is not about a bug but about a feature request.
It is about EVE Swagger Interface missing the attribute “blocked”.

Right but this issue, to expose blocked characters in the ESI, was marked as a duplicate of the one above.

yes, both are about updating the contacts.
While yours is about retrieving the blocked people who are not added as contacts.
