Flight Tracker Web App

Overview

This small web application, built with Flask, enables users to send requests in the form of URLs and receive JSON-formatted responses.

Features

• Zone-based Flight Tracking: Utilize the web app to retrieve live information about active flights within a specified geographic range. Define the rectangular area by providing coordinates through the URL, and receive real-time details about the flights within that zone.

• Retrieve Aircraft Information by Registration: Get information about an aircraft based on its registration code.

• Retrieve Weather Information by Airport IATA Code: Fetch weather information about an airport based on its IATA code.

Usage

Zone-based Flight Tracking

1. Make a GET request to the /zone/<zone> endpoint, where <zone> represents the coordinates of two corners of a rectangle (e.g., x1,x2,y1,y2).

   Example:

   For example, in the image below, we want to track active flights in the sky over the Emirates. We define two points to specify the desired area (i.e., the green box), marked by the red dots.

   Each point has x and y, and you can specify them for any desired area. Enter these two points in the format x1, x2, y1, y2 at the end of the URL after /zone/<x1,x2,y1,y2>. Then, receive the response in JSON format.

   

   In this case, each red dot represents a coordinate point (x, y), and the green box represents the specified zone of interest. You can use the x1, x2, y1, y2 values for any desired points or areas you want to track.

   `url:  http://your-host/zone/25.930446,23.992521,53.807891,56.809364`
