Prohibited Data Use

ThirdParty API
1

Hello,

I have a question regarding the allowed usage of Live API data. In the docs, the following is stated:

Screenshot_20260613_153647_Edge(1)

After one of our pilots in our VA ends a flight, I need to fetch data of that flight like flight time, fuel used, landing data etc. and store it in our database. However, according to the docs this is not allowed?

How do third party ACARS systems and tracking tools do this (which are fetching Live API data and storing it in their database)? Is special permission required for this?

Regards,
Tando

Hi, you can use the Flight ID and User ID to query this on the Get User Flight endpoint. This way you don’t have to store the raw data and only the IDs that point to the data.

Ok, got it! userId and flightId are the only values allowed to be stored in a long-term database.

Thank you very much for your reply!
