Python wrapper for the FlightAware's AeroAPI
AeroAPI (formerly FlightXML) is FlightAware's live flight data API that provides powerful, reliable information about real-time and historical flight information. This Python wrapper allows for easier interaction with the AeroAPI from Python applications.
pip install aeroapi-pythonpip install --index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ aeroapi-pythonThe AeroAPI class is the main class for interacting with the FlightAware AeroAPI. It provides access to various resources such as airports, operators, flights, and more.
To use the AeroAPI class, you need to create an instance of it by passing your API key as an argument to the constructor:
from AeroAPI import AeroAPI
api_key = 'your-api-key'
aeroapi = AeroAPI(api_key)The Airports class provides methods for retrieving information about airports. You can access an instance of the Airports class through the airports attribute of the AeroAPI instance:
airports = aeroapi.airports-
get_airport_info(airport_code: str) -> dict: Returns information about the specified airport.
airport_info = airports.get_airport_info('KLAX')
-
search_airports(query: str) -> list: Searches for airports that match the specified query.
airport_list = airports.search_airports('Los Angeles')
-
get_nearby_airports(latitude: float, longitude: float, radius: int) -> list: Returns a list of airports near the specified latitude and longitude within the specified radius.
airport_list = airports.get_nearby_airports(33.9425, -118.408056, 10)
from AeroAPI import AeroAPI
api_key = 'your-api-key'
aeroapi = AeroAPI(api_key)
airports = aeroapi.airports
airport_info = airports.get_airport_info('KLAX')
print(airport_info)
