Hi,
I am trying to request flight position data over Europe with relatively low resolutions (every 1-5 minutes). Naturally, I am trying to use the flights/search endpoint with LonLat parameters. As the geographical region is big and it often includes a lot of aircraft traffic, I hit the throttling limit of my API tier, however, in a minute I can request the next page of flights which works very well. With that in mind, the following information will be very important for my use case (and how I interpret the data I receive from FA):
- How long will the cursor (for the next page) be active - can I use it 1/3/5/10 minutes after my original request?
- What happens if an aircraft that was not operating within the requested geographical boundaries enters this region after a few minutes - will I get this information using the cursor (as part of one of the next pages). Or will those pages contain data for the flight aware ID that were operating in the region during my first request?
