From what I can tell, programmatic access is AID data is not publicly available.  Is this correct?

Hey Cliff,

Hey Cliff,

This depends on exactly what you mean. You are correct that the AID is only publicly accessible by way of data download/upload. There are APIs which exist and are made available to our programmers, but direct access to the database is restricted. If you need something specific, feel free to contact at HQ. Depending on what you need and why, we may be able to help.

Thanks,
