Hey all! After successfully setting up and running an instance of Ichnaea (which also has automatic daily updating to the latest MLS full snapshot via bash script!), I was asked to add support for falling back to UnWired Labs, our current service provider.
As far as I know, Ichnaea supports MLS and Combain (and Google?) APIs as fallback. The UnWired Labs Location API docs can be found here: http://unwiredlabs.com/api#documentation As you can see, it's not too different from other APIs, but the field names are identical to the Google API and the addition of a token field for the API token (rather than having token in the URL) and a status and balance field in the response (used for query status and token credit balance). I think the best approach is to make a copy of the json constructors that build the json dict up as per the UnWired API when the api_key.fallback_name is "unwired" for example. Of course, schemas would be added to do the response checking and so on. I would just like to know if anyone else has tried doing anything like this or if anyone has any advice for tackling this. I can imagine that once I start, I'll probably run into loads of issues regarding schema validation and so on. I'll post progress here in case anyone else is interested. Many thanks!
