jeanextreme002 / flightradarapi Goto Github PK

Hello Jean, how are you? Hope you doing fine.
I’m a fellow brazilian too! Writing in english because more people may have the same question.

Well, first of all congratulations for the API, it’s very good!
I came across your API few days ago and I’m trying to use it, but I have a question, I tried to find your e-mail on github, but I coudn’t.

But, here’s my question: Do you know why “bounds” only return two points? I mean, two pairs os coordinates: latitude and longitude? I mean, in my understanding, bounds of a country, for example, should be at least four points (four pair of coordinates), so that a square area could be drawn, and this would represent a country or a continent. Maybe, these bounds are used in a certain way in aviation that I don’t know about...

I’m interested in planes that only fly above a certain area, and I’m trying do use “bounds” to limit this area. I hope I was clear!

Is there a quota for retrieving flights? I always get an array of max 1500 elements.

Hello

How do you authenticate with your flight radar username and password?

I am trying to use this api but cant seem to find any documentation.

However I am stonewalled when manually attempting to fetch info on a certain flight
For example
DL200 which is a flight from Atlanta USA to Gautueng SOUTH AFRICA
The so called JSON pharser cannot read the data because it doesnt comply with RFC 8259 , one such issue in the garbaled mess of data is the lack of doubble quotes , and the capitalisation of the first letter of booleans where they should be lowercase. Some values such as None get returned without being quoted with the doubbles , thus throws a missing value error

REFER TO : https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8259

Describe the bug
The python script unexpectedly stops with this error. I have been using the api for a month, but this error is as recent as 23/04/2024.

Portion of error:

File "D:\Pxxx_Dxxx\Lib\site-packages\FlightRadar24\api.py", line 314, in get_flights
for flight_id, flight_info in response.items():
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'items'

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Python Version 12.2

I want to modify one of the keys in the config dict but fail to do so. I even fail to feed back the read out parameters the following way (not exactly as shown in the documentation but how else can I call the set method?):
params = fr_api.get_real_time_flight_tracker_config()
fr_api.set_real_time_flight_tracker_config(params)

I get the following error:
TypeError: set_real_time_flight_tracker_config() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

Maybe I am not using your class correctly, but seems like I am giving only 1 positional argument. Could you give me a pointer on how to correctly feed in the config dictionary? Thanks!

Are there any benefits to making this async? Was thinking of forking and making a separate branch if there was a want/need for asynchronous support.

It looks like FlightRadar doesn't support an API key

Flightradar24 does not currently offer an API data service, however we aim to release this product towards the end of 2023. For more information about customised live flight data feeds and historic data sets, please contact our Commercial Services team.

Am I missing something here?

First of all thank you for the library, it is very useful. But I would like to ask why there is a limit of 100 flights when retrieving the departures or arrivals for a given airport. I would therefore suggest the possibility for this number being higher or at least the option (I sincerely do not know whether if it is even posible) to have a kind of offset so that if you cannot retrieve all the information at once you could eventually get it by doing several requests with different offsets (please let me know if I am not explaining myself).

Thank you again and kind regards.

If flight id is QR8041 , how to define it in code ?

Is there any way to get the flight information using the ICAO/callsign or the plane's HEX code?
Or is there a way to filter the result list using this information?

Thanks in advance.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Get the nearest airport to a location or to a city. Similar to how we can get flights in a given radius of for a given location.

Additional context

I am using this api in a python script in a try-except loop... ideally it should run indefinitely in cycles of 15-20 seconds. in each cycle, it is calling this api to get a bunch of flights a given bound. Usually it runs fine, but every now and then, it gives out a connection timeout error. Is anyone else facing the same problem? Also, can this problem be solved by getting a premium account?

This is the error log:

Describe the bug
Since a few days the api does not return any results

i’ve upgraded to the Last version with no better luck

does anything changed ?

thanks !

Is there more documentation available somewhere, on how to use the API and a list of options?
eg:
`Getting flights by bounds:

bounds = fr_api.get_bounds(zone)
flights = fr_api.get_flights(bounds = bounds)`

this zone variable is not explained, which format or...?

Hello again @JeanExtreme002 , I recently attempted to install the lib again as my laptop decided to obliterate itself so I had to reinstall everything

Unfortunately it seems that pip does not want to play nice with brotli , thus it exits without installing

I have managed to get the May 28 2023 build working tho, pip seems to play nice with it
Please find below a verbose log of the pip install
Thanks - Ivoie

I'm collecting all arrival flights to certain airports. After a while I get this error: "CloudflareError: An unexpected error has occurred. Perhaps you are making too many calls?"

I can't replicate it. I also read the errors provided in this Code. But i wasn't able to solve it. I also set a sleep timer to 30 seconds.

Is there any possibility, to avoid this error?

1. OS: Windows 11 home
2. Python Version: 3.11.6

details = fr_api.get_flight_details(flight_id="B738")
flight.set_flight_details(details)
print("Flying to", flight.destination_airport_name)

for this api call i get an unresolved reference 'flight' how do the flight detail calls work?

I'm a business plan subscriber and we're having problems fetching flights from a Start Time to an End Time.
We're interested in flights from 2022-09-04 to 2022-09-05.

Can someone elaborate how to get flights in this time frame via get_flights or any other API?
Is there more in-depth documentation Business-Subscribers can use besides that described here? https://pypi.org/project/FlightRadarAPI/

From FlightRadar24's website we're told we get 3 years of past flight history, yet; I don't see any documentation in the API as to how to retrieve flight data well within those 3 years in the API ?? Please Help.

Hello,

firsty, I would like to thank you for creating FlightRadarAPI. My question is whether it is possible to get a flight from the list of flights by its registration number?

Also, I tried this basic example:

from FlightRadar24.api import FlightRadar24API
fr_api = FlightRadar24API()

flights = fr_api.get_flights()

for flight in flights:
    print(flight)
    details = fr_api.get_flight_details(flight.id)
    flight.set_flight_details(details)
    print("Flying to", flight.destination_airport_name)

But I get the following error on the fourt flight in the loop:

<(BALL) N256TH - Altitude: 59400 - Ground Speed: 8 - Heading: 305>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\uporabnik\prog\letalo.py", line 9, in <module>
    flight.set_flight_details(details)
  File "C:\Users\uporabnik\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\FlightRadar24\flight.py", line 102, in set_flight_details
    dest_aiport_code = dest_aiport.get("code", dict())
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

Do you know what might be causing it?

I will appreciate any help!

Hi, sorry for creating an issue but i haven't found another way of getting in touch - I have a question with the "bounds" param in the get_flights() function. what type of coordinates am I supposed to use here and how can I convert these to the requested format for example for "austria" ? Any hint much appreciated...

A repeat of issue #31 except I couldn't find an answer. I'm using the Python library.

• The 'lat' and long are limited to a couple of decimals: -31.25, 'long': 157.64
• I tried using my login credentials and have a business account e.g:
  fr_api = FlightRadar24API(user = 'my-email', password = 'my-password')
• I tried adding 'details = True' to the line:
  flights = fr_api.get_flights(bounds = bounds, details = True)

Any advice?! Thanks very much, other than that seems to be working well :)

Is not your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

• When looking for a details of a an airport you will get only a first page of results.

Additional context
If it is ok - I am ready to do it by myself and then make PR in your project

I cannot find any documentation on the search endpoint? Could you please provide a couple of examples of different search queries ? Thank you

Issue
Filter live flights with category

Question
On the https://www.flightradar24.com/ there is a possibility to filter live flights with "categories" (like Cargo). The call is difficult to understand (it's grpc language). Is it possibile to get live flights filtered by category ? (Being connected)

Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'https://www.flightradar24.com/ '
2. Connect with at least a Silver account
3. Go to filter and choose a category
4. Open Dev tools of your browser and see the call named "LiveFeed"

Describe the bug
getAirlineLogo does not work in nodejs, for instance

          iata =  'CDG';
          icao =  'LFPG';
          try { const airlineLogo = await frApi.getAirlineLogo(iata, icao); return airlineLogo; }
          catch (error) { console.log(error); return error.message; }

Received status code '404: Not Found' for the URL https://www.flightradar24.com/static/images/data/operators/LFPG_logo0.png

This commit introduced the Deprecated package and it needs to be added in setup.py

I'm trying to track a flight, and it works very well when the flight is live. However, is there a way to retrieve the route or other details for a flight that is not currently active?

Hi,

I'm trying to access airline fleet information from flightradar24. I understand the API does not provide functionality as this point. Can I get some guidance as to how I can do that?

For example: airline name is WestJet, and it contains 162 aircrafts. I would need details on aircraft type and details.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, first of all thank you for this script.
I was looking around and couldn't find any information on how to make date based queries, something that I'm very interested on.
The use case would be

Return all flights between date 01 and date 02 for airport X.

I'm not looking for the number of flights but the flight details, such as airline, that occured between those dates.

Is this possible to do with your script?
Thank you in advance!

Executing a
flight.set_flight_details(details)

triggers this exception:

File "....\site-packages\FlightRadar24\flight.py", line 102, in set_flight_details
dest_aiport_code = dest_aiport.get("code", dict())
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

Looking into flight.py: after
airport = flight_details.get("airport", dict())
a
if airport is not None:
is required and for all the other variables which are set by a flight_details.get() too.

so i want to make the api print details about the flight, either by putting in the registration, icao or idk whatever. just so i can get info abt an exact flight.
when i do:
flight_details = fr_api.get_flight_details(flight)
print(flight_details)

or anything in this direction (ive been trying for the last 3 hours 💀)

IT ALWAYS OUTPUTS EITHER:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/runner/test11112222/main.py", line 7, in
details = fr_api.get_flight_details(flight="-i put everything possible in here-")
File "/home/runner/test11112222/.pythonlibs/lib/python3.10/site-packages/FlightRadar24/api.py", line 297, in get_flight_details
response = APIRequest(Core.flight_data_url.format(flight.id),
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'id'

OR:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/runner/test11112222/main.py", line 7, in
details = fr_api.get_flight_details(flight_id="-i put everything possible in here-")
TypeError: FlightRadar24API.get_flight_details() got an unexpected keyword argument 'flight_id'

sorry if this is obviously easy to fix but im kind of new to python and i just cant get it to work.
thanks for the help in advance!

Add data from https://www.flightradar24.com/data/statistics where one can see the total number of flights.

Hey there Jean,
I emailed you about the issue too but I’ll post here as well. So I notice some discrepancies between your data vs Flightradar24. For example between airports A and B there could be 5 flights but your data may only show 4 flights. Another scenario is when there is a flight from A to B the flight shows up in the arrivals info for B but does not show up in departures info for A.

Really nice API. Appreciate all the hard work

Creating a very basic script as below:

from FlightRadar24.api import FlightRadar24API
fr_api = FlightRadar24API()

zones = fr_api.get_zones()

print(zones)

results in a type error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 4, in <module>
    zones = fr_api.get_zones()
  File "/mnt/c/Users/jimbo/Documents/dev/python/flightTracker/basic-env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/FlightRadar24/api.py", line 118, in get_zones
    zones = request.get_content()
  File "/mnt/c/Users/jimbo/Documents/dev/python/flightTracker/basic-env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/FlightRadar24/request.py", line 46, in get_content
    return json.loads(content)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/json/__init__.py", line 312, in loads
    s.__class__.__name__))
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'

I have fixed this by adding a decode at line L46 of request.py
return json.loads(content.decode('utf-8'))

Is this repeatable by others? And would this fix have any knockon effects?

Thanks

Readme.md of this project suggests that FlightRadar24.com provide API access if one purchases the business plan; however there is no mention of API access on the FlightRadar24.com website at either of the links provided (https://www.flightradar24.com/premium/ or https://www.flightradar24.com/terms-and-conditions). Are you able to share where you got that information?

In a similar vein: Is the underlying API that this library uses officially documented anywhere?

Hi,

I'm trying to use your api to get all a380 flights happening now (or today ideally).

I'm doing api.get_flights(aircraft_type = "A388")

It seems it returns the registration number (as well as altitude, heading, and speed), but no flight number. Any recommended path to get all a380 flight numbers?

Many thanks!

I notice there are only 2 digits behind decimal point of latitude and longitude values in returned data. I traced the requst step of api and found there is no precision loss in data retrieving. Is it the best precision for {free, basic account} usage of FR24? Or I can get more precision with a paid FR24 account? Thank you @JeanExtreme002 and anybody else would like to write a reply.

Hello, does this API allow for people to find the start/end times of an a flight? If I can not do this with this API, do you know of any free public ones that will let me? Thanks.

While getting and setting details, I sometime run into this error:

/lib/python3.9/site-packages/FlightRadar24/flight.py", line 88, in set_flight_details aircraft = self.__get_details(flight_details.get("aircraft")) AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'get'

I'll do some investigation to see exactly what flight this occurs on.

Is your problem described in the documentation? If so, please describe

I am quite interested in the latest "history data" feature described here: https://github.com/JeanExtreme002/FlightRadarAPI/tree/main/python#downloading-flight-data

However when pip installing the (obviously Python) library, I see that this functionality is missing in the Api class (checked the source code to confirm), and that the latest version accessible on Pypi is 1.3.25, despite 1.3.26 being apparently released as per https://github.com/JeanExtreme002/FlightRadarAPI/blob/main/python/FlightRadar24/__init__.py

Describe your question

Considering the recent commits timestamps I was wondering whether it is normal that 1.3.26 is not installable via Pypi yet despite its functionalities being documented ?

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new Python virtualenv
2. Activate newly created virtualenv
3. Run pip install FlightRadarAPI==1.3.26

Hi,

I am currently testing this excellent API and I am trying to retrieve all flights.

Although when running:

flights = fr_api.get_flights()

result = len(flights)

print(result)

It is only returning 1500. Is this customizable or is this a limit of the flightradar API?

Thanks

Hi there!

I couldn't find a more appropriate place to put this and I am certain that this is not an "issue" but a failure of my understanding as to how to use the code that you have put together.

Whenever I try calling the example functions that you have included, I get an error message back saying that it is missing one argument of "self." I'm not sure how to get around this as I don't know how the "self" argument would be otherwise initialised.

Apologies for what is likely a very naïve request, but thanks in advance for any help!

Kind regards,
Jon

How to get a flight list?

Describe the bug
When I use get_flights method doesn't retry any flight that it does before

To Reproduce
flights = fr_api.get_flights()

Expected behavior
A list of flight

Screenshots

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: windows 10
• Python Version 3.9 64bit

This is not a bug, but is is confusing. I ma sure the intention was this to be named
"self.origin_airport_iata = self.__get_info(info[11])"

Thanks for this great module.

The flight radar api doesnt seem to be sending any data back. it returns an error saying...
