This is a repository of various Python3 and (eventually) Node.js tools that can be used to obtain various flight information from airports around the globe. The tools here depend on both some open source libraries and some provider API's. However, most likely the functionality of this can easily be broken as the services are private and the tools often depend on various forms of web scraping and API hacking.
Q: What does arrivals
do?
arrivals
is a Python3 script that display current arrivals and departures given an
airport IATA code. However, it can also show
additional airport and weather information. These include items such as:
- The official IATA (full) Name of the airport
- The ICAO airport code
- The
Lat/Lon
GPS coordinates with mapURL
- The Airport Web Site
URL
- The current weather info such as:
Nav, Sky, Visibility, Temperature, Pressure, Wind Speed/Direction, Humidity
etc. - The Airport's current
METAR
info - The ICAO code and IATA names of most officially listed airports for a given country name.
Q: What does it not do?
- show detailed flight info
- show aircraft or carrier info
- itshow aiport info for airports not connected to the international
air traffic controller (ATC) network or internet. - it may not show the very latest METAR data (depending on Airport availability)
This package depend on the API library pyflightdata,
which is used to collect all the relevant data from the FlightRadar24
site. However, that library
in turn depend on:
beautifulsoup4, jsonpath-rw, lxml, metar, requests
It is highly recommended to install lxml
before, you install pyflightdata,
because that dependency often require extra source compiling, which is prone to
additional dependency errors.
For pip install:
pip install iata-arrivals-cli
For manual/development install:
- First install all dependencies from above
- Then install
pyflightdata
- Then clone this repository
- Then install it in your bin path at your convenience
In other words you can do this:
# pip install <dependencies-from-above>
pip install pyflightdata
git clone https://github.com/E3V3A/iata-arrivals-cli.git
cd iata-arrivals-cli
#pip install iata-arrivals-cli
$ arrivals -h
Usage: arrivals [options] <airport-IATA-code>
Options:
-d <airport-iata> -- Show Departures instead of Arrivals
-n <n> -- Only show next <n> number of flights
-i <airport-iata> -- Show information about an Airport given its IATA code [Country, Lat/Lon, TZ]
-j <1,2> -- Enable debug mode at level 1 or 2 to print the full JSON response
-l <country-name> -- List all available airport IATA codes for a country given by <country-name>
-c -- Display Copyright License and maintenance URL.
-v -- Print program Version
-h, --help -- Print this help
