A simple bash script client for flightradar24 to query for aircraft flying overhead of a city or region of interest set by latitude/longitude and δ°.
DESCRIPTION A simple client for flightradar24.com. Shows info of aircrafts flying overhead in a [latitude ± δ, longitude ± δ] vicinity USAGE: flyover [OPTIONS] OPTIONS [-s search_str] Search for city/region/place Use quotes for multi-word queries [-y latitude] Negative for south of equator and positive for north of equator Range: -90 <= latitude[float] <= +90 [-x longitude] Negative for west of Prime Meridian and positive for east of Prime Meridian Range: -180 <= longitude[float] <= +180 [-b bounds] Geographic bounds of the region of interest Format (comma-separated): "lat1,lon1,lat2,lon2" [-i flight_ids] flightradar24 flight_ids as a comma-separated list In this mode, only the corresponding flight details are queried Note: id is flightradar24's internal id (not ICAO or other standards) Format example: "id1,id2,id3" [-r delta_deg] δ in degrees in scan square : [latitude ± δ, longitude ± δ] Note: 1° of latitude ≈ 111 km Range: r[float] > 0 [-o /path/to/detailed_flights] Set output path for detailed info of flights (json array) (implies 'detailed' mode) [-n] Use notification (implies 'detailed' mode) [-f] Set mode to 'brief', only print an augmented json [-v log_level] v = 0 : No logs. Equivalent to -q v = 1 : Set level to error v = 2 : Set level to warn v = 3 : Set level to info (default) v = 4 : Set level to debug [-q] Set log level to v = 0 [-V] Print version [-h] Print help message NOTES - latitude/longitude should be input in decimal degrees (not DMS) - Either use -s (geolocation service) OR (-y,-x) but NOT both - Default mode of operation is 'detailed' EXAMPLES flyover -s "deylaman" -r 2 flyover -s "قلعه گبری" -r 0.5 -n -v4 flyover -y "-27.115" -x "-109.395" -r 24.15 -o /tmp/detailed.json flyover -s "深圳" -qf flyover -i "2b1abd2f,2b1cae23" flyover -b "43.58,58.72,46.58,61.72"
