Flights Around

A small project leveraging the FlightRadarAPI to provide summarized data on planes within a specified radius around a given point on the map.

Usage

In view_controller directory run

python main.py

Alternatively, just open project via your editor (I've used Pycharm) and run it like that.

Interface

Interface is pretty straight-forward in this one: At the top, there are three text fields. Two of these fields are mandatory, and an error popup will be displayed if they are left empty. The last field is for filter preferences. Filters can be applied to the current results by pressing the "Apply" button, or to new results by starting a new scan with the Enter key while the preferences field is not empty.

Each element of the table is represented by a button. Clicking on any button will copy the corresponding text to the clipboard.

Finally, the last button under the controls will open the FlightRadar site in your default browser, allowing you to conveniently view the flight you are interested in on the map.
