Depreciation of V1 Interface

Post by joefremont »

Hi Flyers.

Its been some time since we released the V2 of the XML/Json interface, and it is time to announce the depreciation of the old V1 interface. As far as I can tell only three VA's are still using V1, one of which I am in the process of helping move.

The V1 interface will be disabled Jan 1, 2025. I will actually add code to it so it will disable itself on that date, incase I forget. I may turn it off earlier if all the known users of it have migrated.

That is all, carry on.

Fly Vegas:

Got your message Joe and I am sending a message to the few pilots left in FV as I have never used an XML interface personally. Our website does not have any kind of interface with FSAirlines either other than a link to direct people to fsairlines.net

I was surprised to hear V1 was still running when we spoke last week. I thought it had been succeeded ages ago.

I'd probably redact that IP above Joe.

Does that mean someone's gained Cat's API Key if they aren't using anything on their site...?

I don't think there is much you can do with the random IP address, but will PM it to Cat instead.

Given that for V1 you had to declare your IP address, and its still coming from there I don't think its hijacked. More likely a zombie system that nobody uses or looks at, but its still collecting data.
