[Beginner] Is it possible to pull the contents of a specific corp hangar in a specific citadel via ESI?

Hello,

Apologies in advance - although I am currently learning the field, I am a beginner when it comes to API and technical knowledge in general. Please keep that in mind

Within the context of a design project, I would like to pull a list of all the contents of a specific corp hangar (e.g. “Corp ships”) in a specific citadel anchored with W-Space. (I would then connect each item with their market value and that would give me the current value of said corp hangar.)

Does the ESI allow this level of granularity?

Yes, the location_flag property tells you where a given item is, for example CorpSAG1 would be corp hanger 1 (the one at the top of the list in game). location_id is a unique id for a specific hanger.

So you could get a list of items using the assets endpoint, find a unique ship you have (for example of your Corp Ships hanger is the only corp hanger with a legion in it), you could lookup the legion’s type_id in the assets list. Once you find that one ship you can save/copy the location_id of that legion hull and use that in future lookups to get the specific hanger you want.

EDIT: To clarify you would have to do the filtering of the whole asset list in your own code. ESI does not offer a method to say, just give it an ID and only return items with that location_id. Be sure to get all the pages as well.

Brilliant answer - thank you so much for taking the time to write it up. Could you also confirm this works for citadels (in wormholes - if that’s even a parameter)?

I do not have any citadels in a WH to test specifically, but there is no reason it shouldn’t work. A structure is a structure.
