/universe/names vs /universe/ids inconsistent characterid

[Gadgetwhir]

Inconsistency

/universe/names sometimes does not properly resolve character id's that are returned from /universe/ids

Routes

curl -X POST "https://esi.evetech.net/latest/universe/ids/?datasource=tranquility&language=en" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Accept-Language: en" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d "[ \"Aiko Danuja\"]"

returns

{ "characters": [ { "id": 2114209292, "name": "Aiko Danuja" } ] }

while
curl -X POST "https://esi.evetech.net/latest/universe/names/?datasource=tranquility" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d "[2114209292]"

returns

{ "error": "Ensure all IDs are valid before resolving." }

Resolution

I would assume this to be related to some logic that validates the ids submitted that needs to be reviewed and updated to properly include all character_id integer segments.

Was this character a new character?
I would assume it's the search cache not being fully up to date.

It's working now so I would assume it was a new character.

There is a character provided in the example, it is from 2018. So clearly not.

In which case it's a intermittent fault, which is the norm with most of the esi and especially the id endpoints
