No inbound_faFlightID when using howMany param

FlightAware AeroAPI

Hello,

I’m using the FlightInfoStatus endpoint to find possible flights related to an ident. Currently I’m working on finding all the inbetween filghts within a multi leg flight by using the inbound_faFlightID. The problem is that I was using the howMany and offset params to do some sort of scrolling of the data, but for some reason when using these parameters, the inbound_faFlightID is omitted. I think this only happens when the howMany is greater than some specific value, but I’m not sure. I’m saying this because with a howMany of 5 I got the inbound, but with a howMany of 30 I didn’t. I just wanted to know if this is a bug or is this intended functionality.

Thanks

Hi,

This is intended. Due to the computational cost inbound_faFlightID field will only be included for queries that use a howMany of 15 or less.
