Hi,
I've recently discovered the world of APRS/ AIS and find it very fascinating. I also wanted to compliment for the site, I've found the data very reliable and information provided comprehensive. I'm building a proof of concept for a personal pet project. In this initial phase I'm planning to make 500 calls to the API a day and wanted to ask if the call limit could be increased.
Let me know your thoughts and thank you in advance for your help.
Daniela

Currently the software does not have a feature for per-client API rate

limit adjustments, so I'd have to make that first. Currently I'm quite
busy with improvements to the iOS app, and that development effort will
serve a larger (paying) user base, so it has higher priority than this.
Note that you can fetch multiple targets with a single call (subtitle
"Querying multiple targets using a single request" at
https://aprs.fi/page/api), and the rate limit is for the number of calls,
not for the number of targets fetched.
If you'll need data on a more consistent basis, you should probably
connect directly to APRS-IS, parse the data stream and insert it into a
database of your own.
