pyflightdata2 0.9.0

Get flight data from flightradar24 from within Python code (community-maintained continuation of pyflightdata)

pyflightdata2

A simple library to get flight data from flightradar24 from within Python code.

This is a community-maintained continuation of supercoderz/pyflightdata, which has been inactive since 2021. It fixes the Cloudflare 403 errors that broke the original package (login and data requests were being blocked) and keeps the project alive with modern packaging and CI. If the original project resumes active maintenance, please prefer contributing there.

Install

pip install pyflightdata2

The import name is unchanged, so existing code keeps working:

from pyflightdata import FlightData

The test suite calls flightradar24 directly rather than mocking it, so CI runs are informational: GitHub-hosted runners get Cloudflare-blocked regardless of code correctness, unrelated to whether the library itself works.

Licence

The code for pyflightdata is licenced under MIT licence, see LICENCE.txt.

We dont own or store any underlying data, the API simply invokes the providers interfaces and returns the data.

Reporting issues

Please raise an issue at https://github.com/dmoraine/pyflightdata/issues if you see a data or code issue. Pull requests are welcome.
