Hi there,
I have just set up a raspberry pi with a USB dongle and dump1090. I have created a little app with a mini screen that displays details about the closest flight overhead (calculated via lat/lon coordinates and the haversine formula).
While I am doing this, I am also going to set it up to upload the data to flightradar24 as the data is available and this is such a useful website.
My question is, is there a way to find out the origin and destination airport for a flight via an API?
I appreciate the reasons why FR24 won't release their data via an API, spotted in another post on this forum. Does anyone know of an alternative service I can use to get this information?
I only want the three-letter code for the airport (e.g. LHR) given a callsign (e.g. BAW364)
Any tips greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Pete
