FA API - Authentication Required

hbokh commented 6 years ago

Somehow the FlightAware API requires extra authentication besides "username" and "apikey" (cc @wiseman). This is the output (while testing the VRS-driver):

SOLVED Working with v3 API-key only (I used a v2 API-key at first). Two tweets on flight SAS540:

Glad you figured it out, and thanks for doing some more testing of the VRS driver.
