Leading Sailing Schedule data provider launches its first API as an exciting new alternative solution to its traditional bulk data feeds.
Burlingame, CA – November 2, 2017
Linescape was one of the first providers of aggregated sailing schedules, initially delivered only by data feeds, as CSV files by FTP download. But now, Linescape has unveiled its API which allows users to make requests and receive responses as and when needed, and at lower cost.
“Data feeds are great, but only for those wanting to host and maintain the database on their IT system, whereas with the API we host the database and our users simply make calls to it as and when necessary”, said vice-president and co-founder, Dimitrios Sogas. “The API can provide a more cost-effect way to integrate sailing schedules, and we even offer low-cost plans for light usage, thereby appealing to an even wider audience.”
Linescape offers customers a variety of monthly fixed-priced API plans, based on the number of monthly calls, so there is a plan for every level of usage.
