VATUSA Public Facing API

VATUSA Public Facing API
« on: December 20, 2016, 10:38:18 PM »
VATUSA has begun implementing a public facing API.  Currently, only events and news items are available but there are planned features that will be added as well.

The public facing API documentation can be found at https://api.vatusa.net.  Note: facility only functions are still available and will only be available through the T1000.2 API - Next Gen PDF under Division Info > Policies.

Nice work here, Daniel!

Reading up on the docs on that, that is going to be some really cool stuff coming down the pipe. One small question. How granular will the NOTAMs be? Are they going to be at the high level; for example, what we would see at http://www.notams.faa.gov ? Or are they going to be local to that facility like what we would see with ACE-IDS/Systems Atlanta (if they are still using that), and would need to be controlled by the facility?

Or would this be something akin to setting up something like the ATCSCC for VATUSA?

As you can tell, there is a lot of potential for this, and setting up an API for it is a great way to get it developed.

NOTAMs will be live from local to the enroute facilities. No plans in having VATUSA facilities create NOTAMs.

Thanks Daniel, this is exactly what we at Atlanta were after!  Awesome work!  We'll be implementing this soon for sure!  So what else is coming down the pipe for those of us who are involved, but can't see the 'secret' webmaster forums ;)

Don't worry, they don't know either. ;)
