How do I integrate with the SayIntentions.AI ACARS / CPDLC System?

If you're a developer who's created an ACARS / CPDLC system that works with VATSIM/HOPPIE, we'd love for you to add support for SayIntentions.AI as well.

We've created a drop-in replacement for the HOPPIE protocol. Simply point your URL at https://acars.sayintentions.ai/ instead of the current URL you are using for HOPPIE. Customers will enter their SayIntentions API key as the sign-on to the network, instead of their HOPPIE-ID.

Example: https://acars.sayintentions.ai/acars/system/connect.html?logon=customer_api_key

There are two ways to obtain the needed API key:

1) Customers can retrieve their API-key by logging into their pilot portal and visiting their account page. They can copy/paste the key from there into your settings page.

2) You can also get their API key automatically if you prefer. Look in AppData\Local\SayIntentionsAI\flight.json and you will find a JSON element called api_key which you can use.

It's that easy.

If you decide to integrate with us, please reach out to us either via email (support@sayintentions.ai) -- or on our Discord (we are extremely responsive there).

We also recommend reading this KnowledgeBase article to better understand how CPDLC works with SayIntentions.AI from the end-user's perspective.
