Hi,
Just ask here, please do not reply privately. I can answer in public, so
that answers will be searchable for others, too.
If you're asking for additional features to the API, the answer currently
will likely be "no, please get the packets directly from the APRS-IS if
you need more complex features". This will also make your SAR
functionality not depend on the availability of
aprs.fi, which is, after
all, just a couple of servers maintained by that one guy in Finland.
