Hi all, Ive been working with some Python code, part of the config (some of you might know it already), asks for a FA enable, username and API\_key. Code below… as an example > [flightaware] > ; FlightAware API allows to get more information on the flights. Basic API access is now free > ; and if you are FA feeder, your request limit is doubled. For more details check: > ; [https://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/pricing\_class.rvt](https://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/pricing_class.rvt) > fa\_enable = False > fa\_username = XXXXXXXX > fa\_api\_key = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Im an enterprise user…and have my RPi connected and tracking all perfectly, but wondering how I can get this info to make this part work. It basically gets the additional flight data from FlightAware and allows it to be displayed/referenced. Anyone have experience of this at all? Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers Simon ---

Thanks Lawrence…much appreciated you getting back to me. Is that just for Australian only? I got redirected to here: > **[AeroAPI® Flight Tracking and Flight Status API - FlightAware](https://flightaware.com/commercial/aeroapi/)** > > Best Flight Tracker: Live Tracking Maps, Flight Status, and Airport Delays for airline flights, private/GA flights, and airports. And then to here: > **[AeroAPI® Flight Tracking and Flight Status API - FlightAware](https://flightaware.com/commercial/aeroapi/#compare-plans-section)** > > Best Flight Tracker: Live Tracking Maps, Flight Status, and Airport Delays for airline flights, private/GA flights, and airports. Where i picked Personal (free) and ended up here: > **[AeroAPI Signup - FlightAware](https://flightaware.com/aeroapi/signup/personal)** > > Best Flight Tracker: Live Tracking Maps, Flight Status, and Airport Delays for airline flights, private/GA flights, and airports. So im a little confused…and I admit I can be easily confused 🙂 ---

> [@shodgsonaus](#): > > is my username my normal username I have here? I believe so but I am not FlightAware staff and I can’t remember if is is possible to have a different discussion board login from your FlightAware one. Anyway, it should be the username name on your FlightAware account. ---
