Fix the Plane Spotter Demo

[marcelstoer]

• ADS-B Exchange now requires an API key
• some of their API changed

ADS-B Exchange no longer provide free keys to feeders, due to past abuse, may need to point it at a local ads-b receiver install if you have one, or find another provider who give free keys to feeders such as FR24 or Planefinder..

Thanks but what? Do you have a link to the respective announcement/post/etc.? Why should I continue feeding them if I can't get my own data back via their API?

[gjchester]

No idea when, I was told when I asked as I was setting up my feed. It was more to save you work trying to fix the code when new feeders can’t get an apikey.

I’m looking for alternatives..

[marcelstoer]

From what I heard the OpenSky API appears to be to most obvious alternative? Which API are you using these days?

Maybe I should create a new ticket: decommission the ADS-B Exchange code...sigh.

Any progress?
