OpenSkyApi.get_my_states

Hi,

I try to use the OpenSkyApi in python to get the states vector for my receiver only.

Here is the code:

from opensky_api import OpenSkyApi
api = OpenSkyApi()
s = api.get_my_states(serials=1408237090)

I always get NONE as the result.

s = api.get_states() returns a valid state-list, which means that I can connect to the OpenSky api.

What do I do wrong?

Thanks.

I solved the problem myself:

The initiation of the OpenSkyAPI must use the Username, Password.

Hi stkm2017,

I was in the process of writing the answer while you posted the solution. For the sake of completeness here is mine:

You can retrieve states for your own device only by providing login credentials. Just pass your username and password as constructor arguments:

The library uses Python's built-in logging facilities. You can see what's going on under the hood as follows:

The output looks like this:

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Thanks Markus!

Unless I missed it (reading the documentation) it might be worth to clarify/emphasize in the documentation that get_my_states requires authentication...
