API

[west yacht]

Add an API so developers can connect certain events, E.g plane goes on sale. This would help me as well as many other developers in the community who want to use this to create bots or applications for servers. This could also work well with the flight log feature so airlines can automatically do flight logs and reward users!

[stray yarrow]

[wind cairn]

didnt you already suggest this

[west yacht]

yes but i think it got deleted

Or it was like, "Pending"

[stray yarrow]

The whole suggestions channel was deleted since last time

[west yacht]

💀

[stray yarrow]

Mistakes have occurred yes we will not speak of them

Anyways about your example plane going on sale

You mean like people can make a bot that notifies when a plane goes on sale? That kinda defeats the purpose of it, idk that probably wouldn't happen

[pure shadow]

That’s exactly what he means

Someone could just get power hungry with that bot

[west yacht]

Anything really.

It could be to do with the market, the players, the planes.

[wind cairn]

he means a discord bot

I mean it’s not a bad suggestion it’s just that like

who’s gonna pay for the domain name

[west yacht]

for an api?

[wind cairn]

and how much of the community is actually gonna take advantage of the feature

[west yacht]

use repl.it or other free hosting

[west yacht]

me and i made aerolon bot

[wind cairn]

so at least 2 people out of the entire aeronautica player base

[west yacht]

But it could be used for hundreds of airlines.

[wind cairn]

aeronautica community probably doesn’t have that many people with api experience though

[north hatch]

i feel like this would be

idrk

on the one hand, very useful if i want to get a plane ive been hunting down

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND it kinda kills rarity

and the need to use your UP

[west yacht]

That's not what I meant 😭

I mean like a general API

So maybe that or maybe not

[north hatch]

o

well personally i feel like it has its upsides

and its downsides

atleast for the dealership aspect

[west yacht]

Yea that could be one functionality

[stray yarrow]

[west yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stray yarrow]

Anyways from the game's standpoint, I feel like potential cheats may emerge from this so chances are nothing will come of it

[west yacht]

From Logged flights?

[stray yarrow]

Not that

Like even planes going on sale seems pretty unfair to the people who don't have access to a Discord bot api thingymajig

[west yacht]

That was theoretical, maybe you could look into other fetaures.

[stray yarrow]

That would be on discretion of game devs

Specifically the coders

[twin nexus]

I mean

I like the idea

for example say rarer jobs or whatnot

[west yacht]

That was one use and a use which I doubt will ever happen as rare jobs are meant to be rare.

[stray yarrow]

^

I gave my take on this, now I step out

[west yacht]

imagine auto logs on aerolon

[stray yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/no-let-me-think-nope-no-way-hmm-no-gif-22904160

It wouldn't have the screenshot, plus what if someone was flying a different plane? I rather the current system, it's fine as is

[dark quartz]

so THAT'S where my Read The Game emoji suggestion went

[dark barn]

I feel like most people dont fully understand this suggestions and thats why its not getting a lot of traction

[solar estuary]

This would leave absolutely no vulnerabilities what so ever

[stray yarrow]

Yeah this suggestion only benefits people who know how to code so like, basically no one except for maybe 5 people are gonna benefit from this

I mean I am benefitting because I commissioned them to make me a Discord bot and website

[clear token]

its python meh

its easy

wait fuck

yea you just wait

[plain urchin]

and me

[stray yarrow]

Reviving dead suggestions

[plain urchin]

revive the other API

🔥

[terse dawn]

Try writing it then
XD
Sheeh, I though I spend 2 years learning a beginner language that is useless.
Looks like I spent 2 years learning a bit more complicated language that are more useless than the beginner language

[plain urchin]

check out my server bro

[dark quartz]

advertising !!!!!!!!!>?!?>!:>IY*&ER^O!!??????????

[plain urchin]

trying to persuade him python is useful

😪

[terse dawn]

Nono. I know how useful python is now
In the past, I thought python is useless lol

[plain urchin]

ok lol

[crystal elk]

hm

Sorry for the necro, (and the ping, but this is an important one)

but,

Aeronautica Air Traffic Control exists (AATC, one of the partner servers of Aeronautica) ✨

-# #partnered-servers message
We have some devs interested on API access over there (me included :D)

So opening access to a flight-data can really allow ppl to develop community-driven tools
Like ATC radar/ flight-tracking/ RP/ etc., which don't only benefit AATC, but Aeronautica as a whole

And it's not impossible to share such data,
PTFS gave exclusive data access to ATC24 of the server they are holding activities in
Where ATC24 hosts a service (24data), that allows a subgroup of verified players to access the data with limits
This model can also be how Aeronautica give access to AATC and it's devs?
So there are two models here:

• Allow part of the Aeronautica players/ community devs that are interested to get access via a verification process, or
• Allow AATC only to get the data of the game server they are having activity in (and let them manage the data streaming and verification)

-# By API, it means Application Programmable Interface, but for 24data, it's a server-to-client one-way data flow, so tools cannot be used to change the data on ATC24

Again, sorry for the ping but this is important and valid, cuz it's on-topic
