Hi there,

Sorry for the delayed response.

The main limitation of the products and services offered by Unidata are they 
are non-operational. They are
intended primarily to support the academic sector and those users, but are 
still offered freely to the 
general public.

If you are wanting to use an EDEX server to drive your app, I might suggest 
downloading and running an 
EDEX server of your own, so you can tailor the data and remain in control of it 
in case of any critical 
times or data outages.  It's also possible you could use some other data server 
other than EDEX for your 
app. If you could provide a bit of detail behind why you're wanting to use 
EDEX, then we might be able to
offer some suggestions.

Thanks.
