Glad to hear it. The server logs show several folks exercising it over the weekend.
I do have one wishlist item though. Something like name=ALL would be nice so that we wouldn’t have to hammer the AMSAT server with> many requests just to get all the data for all available satellites.
That is a good idea Mike. I don't see why that can't be added.

Now that the JSON API is running for this, adding another one for pass predictions would go a long way to making small desktop widgets based on Circuit Python and the ESP chip possible. Imagine a tiny $30 device that lets you know when your favorite satellites will be crossing overhead.
Glad folks are exercising the status port. I'll be adding it to one of my desktop devices soon!
