For a list of airports I am using Michael's 'ICAO Airport Codes' dataset.
For METAR data I am using AVWX Aviation Weather REST API by Michael duPont.
Map of the location of airports is provided by Google Maps Platform.
This project is using Python 3.7.0.
The list of dependencies for this project can be found in requirements.txt and can be installed using pip install -r requirements.txt. To build a new requirements.txt delete the old version, navigate to directory and run pip freeze > requirements.txt.
You can start running the site by exporting DJANGO_TOKEN as an environement variable and then running python manage.py runserver. The site can then be viewed by visiting http://127.0.0.1:8000/. With DEBUG=True in rhodrithomasmorgan/settings.py this will present the current urls available. To see the METAR page visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/METAR_practice/
To access the admin panel visit 127.0.0.1:8000/admin and use the login credentials username=test and password=password. Alternatively you can create a super user using python manage.py createsuperuser.
metar_practice/pull_metar_data.py is a seperate script which should be ran in parallel for METAR data pulling. You can configure pull limits and question caps in this file.
