FlightRadar24API

✓ from FlightRadar24 import FlightRadar24API

✗ from FlightRadarAPI import FlightRadarAPI

Initialize the API with credentials and fetch live flight data.

from FlightRadarAPI import FlightRadarAPI # Initialize with your FlightRadar24 username/password or token username = os.environ.get('FR24_USERNAME', '') password = os.environ.get('FR24_PASSWORD', '') api = FlightRadarAPI(username=username, password=password) # Get real-time flights (returns list of Flight objects) flights = api.get_flights() for flight in flights: print(flight.callsign, flight.latitude, flight.longitude)

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe SDK changed from a module-level function-based API to a class-based API in version 1.0.0. Old code using `import FlightRadarAPI` and calling functions directly will break.

fix

Use `from FlightRadarAPI import FlightRadarAPI` and instantiate the class.

affects: <1.0.0

deprecatedThe `get_flights` method now requires authentication (username/password or token). Anonymous access is no longer supported.

fix

Provide valid credentials via environment variables or constructor arguments.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaFlightRadarAPI uses rate limits; frequent requests may result in temporary bans. Use with respect and caching.

fix

Implement request throttling and respect HTTP 429 responses.

affects: all
