Good work. If I start flying more again I will definitely look at getting tripit sorted to use this

When I first saw the sign up URL I thought you somehow created a personal site on FT and wondering how you did it. Then I started to DNS it

It's on the "canadiancow.com" domain

Thank for this! Great idea.

Is this normal after authorizing with Tripit?

Code:
Exception in thread "main" org.json.JSONException: JSONObject["detailed_error_code"] not found. at org.json.JSONObject.get(JSONObject.java:498) at org.json.JSONObject.getString(JSONObject.java:669) at ScheduleChangeChecker.checkScheduleChanges(ScheduleChange.kt:56) at Runner.main(ScheduleChange.kt:31) --- Finished ---

No. An error was returned from TripIt when trying to get your flights, but it wasn't in the format I expected.

I just made an update to aid debugging of this going forward. The scheduled daily run is in 3 hours, so it'll try again there.

However, I can confirm that if you made it to that point, the registration was successful.

To be fair to AC, they're generally responsive when I report issues in the AC mobile apps.

Though the time to release an app update is always going to be huge compared to me updating a web-based side-project.

It just did its daily run.

Of the 12 people who are fully registered/authorized, three had no flights in their TripIt account, one returned an "account is not activated" error ( @rjp123, that looks like you - you may want to make sure your TripIt account has been activated, though I'm not really sure what this means), and one person's setup uncovered a bug, which I've fixed.

Thanks everyone

This appears to be a fantastic tool that will be worthwhile especially as winter approaches. Thanks a lot canadiancow!
