I had a little play with the Companion API this evening and was disappointed to discover that it's seemingly not available for Xbox One accounts/players ...
After logging in with Frontier account (that is linked to my Xbox account) and supplying the auth code sent to my e-mail address the API simply returns with the error "Please purchase/redeem Elite Dangerous to continue".
I imagine that Frontier holds all the same data regardless of whether the game client is running on X1 or PC and as it's all one big shared universe between PC and X1 since the game left Xbox Preview Program I hoped the API would work pretty much the same way regardless of platform.
Is it supposed to work in this situation (ie user error on my part)? If not, are there any plans to make it so?
