pip install FlightRadarAPI
Import the class FlightRadar24API
and create an instance of it.
from FlightRadar24 import FlightRadar24API
fr_api = FlightRadar24API(...)
Getting flights list:
flights = fr_api.get_flights(...) # Returns a list of Flight objects
Getting airports list:
airports = fr_api.get_airports(...) # Returns a list of Airport objects
Getting airlines list:
airlines = fr_api.get_airlines()
Getting zones list:
zones = fr_api.get_zones()
You can also get more information about a specific flight such as: estimated time, trail, aircraft details, etc.
flight_details = fr_api.get_flight_details(flight)
flight.set_flight_details(flight_details)
print("Flying to", flight.destination_airport_name)
Or get more information about a specific airport such as: runways, temperature, arrived flights, etc.
airport_details = fr_api.get_airport_details(airport.icao)
Arrivals and departures can have a limit flight_limit
(max value is 100) to display. When you need to reach more than 100 flights you can use additional parameter page
to view other pages.
The get_bounds_by_point(...)
method has parameters latitude
and longitude
for your position and radius
for the distance in meters from your position to designate a tracking area.
# Your point is 52°34'04.7"N 13°16'57.5"E from Google Maps and radius 2km
bounds = fr_api.get_bounds_by_point(52.567967, 13.282644, 2000)
flights = fr_api.get_flights(bounds = bounds)
The get_flights(...)
method has some parameters to search for flights by: area line, bounds (customized coordinates
or obtained by the get_zones()
method), aircraft registration or aircraft type. See the example below:
airline_icao = "UAE"
aircraft_type = "B77W"
# You may also set a custom region, such as: bounds = "73,-12,-156,38"
zone = fr_api.get_zones()["northamerica"]
bounds = fr_api.get_bounds(zone)
emirates_flights = fr_api.get_flights(
aircraft_type = aircraft_type
airline = airline_icao,
bounds = bounds
)
There are more configurations that you may set by using the set_flight_tracker_config(...)
method. See the method documentation
for more information.
Getting airport by ICAO or IATA:
lukla_airport = fr_api.get_airport(code = "VNLK")
The Flight
and Airport
classes inherit from Entity
, which contains the get_distance_from(...)
method. That method
returns the distance between the self instance and another entity in kilometers. Example:
airport = fr_api.get_airport("KJFK")
distance = flight.get_distance_from(airport)
print(f"The flight is {distance} km away from the airport.")
Set it by using the set_flight_tracker_config(...)
method. It receives a FlightTrackerConfig
dataclass instance, but
you can also use keyword arguments directly to the method.
Get the current configuration with the get_flight_tracker_config()
method, that returns a FlightTrackerConfig
instance. Note: creating a new FlightTrackerConfig
instance means resetting all parameters to default.
flight_tracker = fr_api.get_flight_tracker_config()
flight_tracker.limit = 10
fr_api.set_flight_tracker_config(flight_tracker, ...)
flights = fr_api.get_flights(...) # Returns only 10 flights
