Hi. What is it that you're trying to do, exactly?

@forest ether my adsb feed vanished not feeding since yesterday, I am getting json error ’m running a Raspberry Pi with dump1090-fa to decode ADS-B and I want to push that live data up to ADS-B Exchange so my station shows up on the globe map. I’ve installed the feed-adsbx script and forced it to pull from dump1090-fa’s Beast TCP port (127.0.0.1:30005), but I can’t find or reveal my ADS-B Exchange “Feed Key” (the secret station key) in the web interface. Without that key, the script won’t authenticate and my data never makes it live. Any pointers on where to generate or view that key so I can complete the setup?

there is no secret key as such - there is a UUID, and a short UID. If you're having to force things, you're probably digging yourself in a hole. I'd suggest using the ADSBx Pi image - it "just works": https://www.adsbexchange.com/ways-to-join-the-exchange/build-your-own/
