VA integration: API or datafeed?

[svilenv]

Hello,

One of the VA's that I'm flying for (https://www.deltava.org/) is looking to integrate Pilotedge as one of their online flying platforms and we're looking for a way to validate online pireps, hence the question:

Is there a programmatically viable way of obtaining online pilot data, similar (or equivalent) to Vatsim's Servinfo datafeed (i.e. http://info.vroute.net/vatsim-data.txt) or may be an API that serves the same purpose?

The availability of such data will also benefit more 3rd party communities (VAs, pilot groups, etc) and developers to build tools and integrations around PIlotedge and over time may indirectly contribute to increasing the traffic and customer base on the network.

Thank you!

Hi Svilen,

You can use http://map.pilotedge.net/vspro.dat. The format should look familiar.

This is not an official or supported API (meaning we may stop publishing it or change the format anytime without notice), but you are welcome to use it as long as you don't hammer it with requests.

Cheers, Tim!

Luke Kolin will be doing the implementation, you might remember him from older times; I'm sure he's experienced enough to integrate the data without abusing the capacity.

Thanks a lot for the assistance!
