API: Error 429 Too Many Requests

I have the same question.

Current limit is 120 requests within one hour. If your application requires more, please leave a message, with a brief introduction of application, API used and estimated requests per hour, I can provide an API key with increased limit.

Sent you a PM on this a week or two ago.... Thx.

Hi Ken,

I don't know if you have used ADSGexchange.com, in which they use thumbnails from this and three other sites via the API facility, to illustrate aircraft on their Global Radar view. The thumbnails link back to this site. It appears that the thumbnail provided is the first for a registration, if there are other airframes which have used this registration, the current one is not shown. It does not identify aircraft type.

Case in point. Aircraft VH- EVQ

This is currently an Aeroprakt A22LS which is not in the database. However the API returns a previously registered Evektor Sportstar. ADSBexchanges database identifies it as the A22LS but this is not detected by the API.

I also believe they have been trying, including private messages, to contact you regarding enquiry limit. I use the site regularly to check aircraft arriving and departing Melbourne Airport, and got a lot of "No image in database", when I know that there is one, including my own.

Further example: Aircraft VH-CLM

Currently registered aircraft - Cirrus SR22 Airframe record on database, but no photo.

Previous registered aircraft: Airbus A300 sold to Guyana Air. Photo on database, currently returned to API.

Another example

I'd really like to get ahold of an admin on this site to see if I can get an exception to the API rate limit. So far, I've been unable to make contact.

I'd be willing to pay and/or contribute resources. If you're not interested, that's fine too, just let me know.

Thanks,

Dan
