API key for feeders?

[strange patio]

Hello! I have been feeding for a few years now and I would like to get an api key for non commercial use. To who should I ask this please? Thanks

Feeders do not get free API access, there was a program at one time but it was closed long ago due to rampant abuse almost bankrupting ADSBx.

Ok…

you can use our API Lite here for personal use: https://www.adsbexchange.com/api-lite/

There is also API access for flight simulators here: https://rapidapi.com/adsbx/api/adsbx-flight-sim-traffic/pricing

But each of the free APIs give access to only the specific fields needed for that use. If you post what you plan to do with it we may be able to give you the best option for your use case.

Weirdly the text about the Amateur Radio API in the snippet above doesn’t actually appear on the website. May want to have web guys look into that.

Yeah, that old text appears in three places in the HTML - two meta tags (description and og:description) and a javascript blob that I think is intended for search engines (yoast-schema-graph). @steady plaza

Is it old text? I wasn’t aware the Amateur Radio API was discontinued.

I wasn't really aware that it existed, actually ... in any case, I meant the text that doesn't appear anywhere in the page that the viewer sees

@short vector can we clean up these meta tags?
