In there you will see the university's instructions for how to sign up. Does not at all look like something designed for general use. KVS, unless you were given specific permission from FAU to use this, and give it out to your customers, this is not at all cool.
Perhaps it's time someone sends some emails to FAU, marathon travel, and Sabre, to see what the real deal is, because obviously KVS wants to keep it all a big secret.
Definitely short-sighted on KVS' part. How long before FAU noticed all these new accounts associated with names/emails that don't match any of their faculty/students etc.
The writing is on the wall. KVS is going to be forced to revisit it's business model. I'm surprised they haven't come up with a better solution since they depend on scraping webpages, they would have known there's always going to be the risk that data source will no longer be available.
