Someone mentioned seeing a CAPTCHA request but I do not have this.

First error comes up as "You have exceeded the Velocity Limits of the Awards/BA-OneWorld engine

If you hit ok , then you get
Data Source Error RW-1

Does anyone know how to fix this?????????????

So thanks for your input, but my question still stands.
KVS Tool simply screen scrapes information from various websites. It does not access anything that is not available for free through other means.

The Awards/BA-Oneworld engine simply logs on to BA.com and does an award search, parses the information and displays it. For at least the past year BA has introduced Captchas (possibly due to excessive automated use against their T&C's...) when doing many award searches in quick succession. But whenever a website changes how the information is displayed, or introduces different Captchas etc (possibly to stop this sort of automated screen scraping) until KVS Tool is updated to deal with it, certain functions may not work.

KVS Tool will display exactly what an award search on BA.com will show when using that option. Nothing more, nothing less.
The other KVS oneworld award searches use Qantas.com, Jal.com and CathayPacific.com.

You are paying for something that screen scrapes free information, that may automate login/searches and parse it in to a common format.

BA has worked fine for me before, but I guess recent increased searches have also given me the "exceeded velocity limit" message.

I also never gotten the BA option working correctly. Error message about 'exceeded velocity limit' or something along that line.

We have now implemented a solution for the Velocity Exceeded/CAPTCHA Issues that were affecting the [Awards/BA-OneWorld] Method.

Please download KVS Tool V7.9.5 and contact us directly to provide feedback.

I have tried several times to download version 7.9.8 (because when I tried to search for AA upgrade availability I was told the version I downloaded about a month ago no longer supports this function). The setup file downloads, but then when I click on it it doesn't open. Worse, it then hangs around in my system, and if I've clicked on it several times there are several identical versions in the system. "End Process" and "End Proces Tree" in Windows Task Manager do not succeed in shutting it down. Is problem specific to my computer, or are others having similar experiences? Any suggestions about what I might do? (I have of course tried turning the machine on and off.)

Sorry to be raising what is in part a "support request" on this forum, but I tried using the online contact form and got a message that requests from aol.com cannot be honored. Also, while I'd appreciate any suggestions the KVS Tool management might have, I would also appreciate any suggestions or comments from other users.

Thanks so much for any suggestions anyone might have.

What is error Data Source Error "R" and "TVLID" ? It says to try again later. I didn't see anything specific on this on the KVS website, but is it related to the note about JL MB Americas accounts? Is this being fixed?

The KVS 'tool' scrapes data from many sources that do not authorise that use (please see and feel free to update the wiki on this thread). When the data sources find out that 'method' often disappears and a new version of the software appears. There is no guarantee that any data you seek access to will remain available for any length of time. <redacted by Moderator>

Did you select the [Bus/First] option under [Cabin:] and/or set a [Filter] preference in-error?

Is there a way to check all now or you can only search by cabin?

For flights with 3 cabins, you can now check Y/W or W/C/F in the same search.

For flights with 2 cabins (Y/C or Y/F), you can continue to check for all Cabins in the same search.

I'm still getting the "R" and "TVLID" error. Restarted, rebooted, etc. still the same, any advice?
