FlightRadar24 Client

One more Python project I'd like to make as a student.

Description

This is a autonomous PC client for FR24 service.

Run

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
cd gui
python3 main.py

Build & Run

Open the project directory and run build.sh file. You will find the binary file in the dist folder then.

API

This program gets all necessary information from FR24 api endpoint. After that all aircrafts are being painted as points and move based on direction and speed info. When needed, the information would be updated in order to refresh points' positions.

Examples

Getting all available flights within the specific area

from flightradar/api import API
api = API()
for flight in api.get_flights(Area(57.06, 55.00, 32.97, 36.46)):
    print(flight)

Will output something like this:

Flight AFL2155 from DUS to SVO. A320 (VP-BTC) at 55.8338, 33.0941 on altitude 35000. Speed: 442. Track: 103.

Flight AFL2621 from AGP to SVO. B738 (VP-BGG) at 55.5042, 34.376 on altitude 34475. Speed: 438. Track: 81.

Flight VAS816 from VKO to MUC. B734 (VQ-BVF) at 56.1504, 35.1726 on altitude 30450. Speed: 437. Track: 280.

Flight UTA359 from VKO to LED. B735 (VQ-BJL) at 56.5925, 35.3859 on altitude 31975. Speed: 415. Track: 318.

Flight AFL032 from SVO to LED. A320 (VP-BWE) at 56.6596, 35.5538 on altitude 26875. Speed: 424. Track: 314.

Which is a text description of all available flights. List of all flight fields:

Name	Description
id	Flight's unique ID within FR24
mode_s	Aircraft Mode-S code
lat	Aircraft latitude
lon	Aircraft longitude
track	Aircraft direction in degrees
alt	Aircraft altitude in kilometers
speed	Aircraft speed in kilometers per hour
squawk	Aircraft squawk code
radar	Current control tower code
model	Aircraft model
registration	Aircraft registration
origin	Flight origin code
destination	Flight destination code
iata	Flight code in IATA format
icao	Flight code in ICAO format
vertical_speed	Aircraft vertical speed
airline	Airline code

---

Getting information about the specific flight

from flightradar/api import API
api = API()
print(api.get_flight('1d70550f'))

Will output something like this:

Flight AFL2639 from Barcelona El Prat Airport to Moscow Sheremetyevo International Airport, B738 (VP-BCD).

Which is a brief description of the specified flight. List of all flight fields:

Name	Description
id	Flight's unique ID within FR24
flight	Flight code in ICAO format
status	Flight text status
model	Aircraft model
registration	Aircraft registration
origin	Flight origin code
destination	Flight destination code
airline	Airline name
trail	List of all flight waypoints with latitude, longitude, speed and track

Requirements

• Python3.6
