WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
There's really no need to pay FA to use an api for data that is publicly available. https://github.com/Mictronics/readsb-protobuf/tree/dev/webapp/src/db
https://github.com/wiedehopf/graphs1090 The FA dashboard is a bit of a joke too. It's really here to bamboozle the masses and placate them.
One of thing to look at how 'good' your feeder is would be tar1090 ?pTracks when combined with Heywhatsthat.com range outline. That will give you an idea of how well it's performing versus theoretical. https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090
Alternatively you could go back to the original data at e.g. https://github.com/flightaware/dump1090/blob/master/tools/flightaware-20200924.csv.xz and convert to a data format that works for you.
I've be very very interested! I decided to use ADSBexchange.com for the time being and added a few other API's to make this thing (https://github.com/cribdragg3r/piaware_parser) more robust such as AWS S3 support and Twilio to verify uptime and exceptions.
