Hey developers,

I’m writing some code for a Dashboard Widget (Mac OS X) to interact with FA. As I know more about C/Java programming than HTML, could somebody explain in a nutshell how to obtain a session key without having to load FA in a browser window? Since the tracking images are dynamically created, I think the two variables I need are (with examples):

key=5f6a82a5423c1a6ba789fa5e7dc149bab154c85a
keytime=1148016472

PM or emails will work fine… Thanks,

-C

The key system is not a session id or cookie mechanism; it’s designed to require a “page view” is associated with every map generated. You should probably contact us to discuss some viable options for your project so that the application is mutually beneficial.
