Feature Description
Addition of a connection or protocol available to external viewers, such as a radar program, that would allow a view of the flights etc, without having to mirror the login process and pretend to be a client (a-la YS-QRadar).
How would this function work?
Could either be implemented within the standard client login process, where a truncated login process is used - eg:
login request with username "radar" and a version of 0 - bypasses all the other stuff like verifying aircraft lists, and just sends the necessary stuff.
Or:
Could implement a separate API, that is possibly able to take a GET request, and send the relevant info as JSON.
Why is this feature important?
Could allow quite a bit of functionality, from live webmaps of servers, to radars, to stats tracking.
