I procured a searchable web page of the APRS device identifier / TOCALLS database: https://aprsorg.github.io/aprs-deviceid-web/

What's the correct verb to use when I sort of made it, but actually didn't and rather told an LLM to make it instead?

Aprs.fi iOS app version 2.8.0 is out! It'll roll out slowly over the next 7 days, but you can look it up on the app store and update right away if you want to enjoy it fresh and hot from the oven. Mostly bugfixes, but also a new language: Hungarian! Köszönjük to HG4ZKZ and HG1DFB, who apparently had time for this and we are very grateful. Translation updates for Spanish, Traditional Chinese, and Dutch. Thanks to everyone involved! Full change log:

I'm testing a new implementation of the backend API for the aprs.fi iOS app right now. Faster, shinier, more maintainable. If anything seems weird (I mean, more weird than usually), let me know. Just post in the thread here or something.
aprs.fi had some hickups in APRS-IS data intake today. Software bug triggered by erratic input. Sorry about that.

If you're using the aprs.fi API, please note that the plain HTTP API URLs will stop working on 2026-05-01, and all calls need to be done using https:// URLs. The new HTTPS URLs were already introduced back n 2017-03-09. Using https will keep your API keys safe.

Please upgrade your clients accordingly. Thanks! https://aprs.fi/page/api
