IFOs in your bounding box from the OpenSky API
A script for streaming IFOs in a country's airspace or other defined area from the OpenSky API.
Execute flights.py with an OpenSky username and password, passing in either one
of the preconfigured area options ('Barrington', 'Nayatt', 'RI', 'NY'), setting
a custom bounding box using the --lamin, --lomin, --lamax, and --lomax
arguments, or passing in an ISO country code (e.g., 'ES'). To turn on terminal
output, set the -t flag. By default, the script returns an array of the collected
flights.
Using a custom bounding box:
$ python3 flights.py -b --lamin 41.146 --lomin -71.862 --lamax 42.018 --lomax -71.120 --username username --password password
Using one of the preconfigured area options:
$ python3 flights.py --area RI --username username --password password
Using an ISO country code:
python3 flights.py --iso ES --username username --password password
Turning on terminal output, not requesting an array, and limiting requests to 2:
$ python3 flights.py --limit 2 --no-array -t --area RI --username username --password password
