aprs.fi API URL update 2026-03-01

[Heikki Hannikainen]

Hi,

If you're using the aprs.fi API, please note the following:

https://aprs.fi/page/api

The plain HTTP API URLs will stop working on 2026-05-01, and all calls
need to be done using https:// URLs. The new HTTPS URLs were already
introduced back in 2017-03-09. Using https will keep your API keys safe.

Please upgrade your clients accordingly. Thanks!

The very old URLs without the "api." prefix, which were supposed to stop
working in 2010, are stopping to work about now, as I'm replacing the API
backend with some shiny new code. Reply here if something is not working
right.
