Re: tawhiri api usage

[Daniel Richman]

That's not a problem, it's how we intended it to be used :-).

I expect we can handle the traffic just fine, so please go ahead. Thank you for the heads up!

Will we be see requests from sondeviewer.de's source address, or are the requests made directly by the user's browser to our instance of tawhiri?

Dear Mr Richman,

 

i run a website called sondeviewer.de for a local (south Bavarian) group of weathersonde “hunters”, and we use your tawhiri api for prediction of the landing destinations. Our software issues periodical calls to your api, for example after burst of every received sonde, shortly before landing and also on user request on our site.

 

Is it okay for you if we use the api this way? We had tawhiri running locally for some time, but our hoster was not very amused about the amount of traffic we caused, so I reverted back to using your server. Feel free to tell me if I should not use your service this way, or implement throttling or take other measures.

 

Anyway I want to thank you and all others that help providing this extremely useful service and also for providing the software as open source!

 

With best wishes,

Andreas Hummel
