No data when using unix timestamp in api call was created by Joey1

Hi, I'm trying to get the states using get_states() and specifying time_secs as seconds since epoch. But it never returns anything. Tried passing as int and string. Any ideas?

#No data returned
api = OpenSkyApi()
api.get_states(time_secs="1497376628")
api.get_states(time_secs=1497376628)

#Data returned
api = OpenSkyApi()
api.get_states()

Hey Joey1,

it looks like you initialized the api without user credentials. Without login you are only able to access live data. Try initializing the api like this:

api = OpenSkyApi(USERNAME, PASSWORD)

Take a look at the documentation for further details. See this page for limitations like the one you experienced.

Cheers,
Marco
