Setting up Private and Public AFF / APIs

We have an API available so third-party consumers can retrieve raw data from our system

Third party consumers can configure either a public or private data service to pull the raw data.

If you are set up as a public consumer, Spidertracks customers' can elect to send you their track data.

AFF User Consumer Guide - XML

The following guide covers integrating with the spidertracks API / AFF feed. The data in the spidertracks AFF response, how to query the feed, and how to setup an AFF feed in the spidertracks website are all covered. Examples of querying the feed, including code, requests, and responses are all provided.

When filling out the API Form

The contact email that is written in the request form, will be the email that you will use for retrieving raw data from our system.

The organisation wanting to use the API will also need to add this email to their account as a member, this will send you an invitation email that will automatically link you to their account.
