The ski season is drawing to a close, obviously, so we'll basically make it through this season with this intact. But I have yet to find another API that gives the same kind of queryable access to the flight database (ITA, owned by Google).
Is this simply a case where startups/small companies are now out of luck, full stop? Or does anybody know of a decent alternative that has cropped up?
Needless to say, this decision by Google, along with a few other data points, has soured my outlook on their status as the arbiter of so much of the world's useful data.
Email just received from Google:
Dear QPX Express API Customer,
After careful consideration, we've decided to shut down the QPX Express API as of April 10, 2018.
How this affects you
After April 10th, you will not be able to access the API and will no longer be charged for this service. Until then, you will be charged a reduced rate of $0.02 per query for any queries beyond the 50 free daily quota.
Next steps You don't need to take any action. However, if you are actively using this product you may want to find an alternate solution before April 10, 2018. If you have any questions about these changes, please don't hesitate to contact us at any time.
Sincerely, The QPX Express API team
