flightaware-php-client
This class allows for quick interaction with a (small) subset of FlightAware's FlightXML REST API. See http://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/explorer/ for more information.
Requirements
- PHP 5.5+
- curl
- A FlightAware API account
Usage
First, require FlightAwareClient.php, or include this repo via Composer (its composer.json will add the require for you to the Composer autoloader classmap). Then instantiate the client class as follows:
$faClient = new iansltx\FlightAwareClient\Client('username', 'api_key');The following methods are available; all return unwrapped result arrays:
$inFlightInfo = $faClient->inFlightInfo($ident); // reformats waypoints with distinct latitude and longitude array keys
$flightInfoEx = $faClient->flightInfoEx($ident, $how_many, $offset);
$flightId = $faClient->getFlightId($ident, $departure_time);
$historicalTrack = $faClient->getHistoricalTrack($flight_id);
$lastTrack = $faClient->getLastTrack($ident);
$endpoint = $faClient->registerAlertEndpoint($url,$format);
$getAlertResults = $faClient->getAlerts()
$newAlertID = $faClient->setAlert($alert_id, $ident, $origin, $destination, $aircrafttype, $date_start, $date_end, $channels, $enablede, $max_weekly);
$foo = $faClient->deleteAlert($alert_id);Contributing
