v0.1.3

New Features

• New gRPC endpoints:
  • NearestFlights: get list of live aircraft from centrepoint and radius
  • LiveFlightsStatus: get live aircraft location and status
  • FollowFlight: streaming API, sends updates of aircraft state vectors; effectively the side panel clickhandler JSON endpoint
  • TopFlights: effectively /flights/most-tracked JSON endpoint
  • LiveTrail: get list of aircraft state vectors for a live flight

Breaking Changes

• livefeed renamed to live_feed in all places
• all low level functions are moved into fr24.json and fr24.grpc namespaces for clarity.
• protobuf definitions now split into multiple .proto files

v0.1.2

This release introduces a major refactor of the core, while keeping most of the low-level functions untouched.

Breaking Changes

• core class significantly redesigned to make components less coupled and data location easier to track (#24)

  • v0.1.1 used a service based approach:

  async with FR24() as fr24:
      fl = fr24.flight_list("id")
      fl.data.load() # read flight_list/{id}.parquet
      response = await fl.api.fetch() # optional parameters goes here, e.g. page, limit
      fl.data.add_api_response(response) # json -> pyarrow
      fl.data.save() # write flight_list/{id}.parquet

  • v0.1.2 uses an approach which implement a series of type-transformations:

  async with FR24() as fr24:
      response = await fr24.flight_list.fetch(reg="id") # FlightListAPIResp { ctx: {"id": "{id}", ...}, response: json }
      data = response.to_arrow()  # FlightListArrow { ctx: ..., table: pyarrow.Table }
      print(data.df) # pd.DataFrame
      data.save()

• protobuf definitions now adhere to official naming and structure (f9e2421)

• library now makes a clear distinction between heading and track: LiveFeedRecord, TrackData, PlaybackTrackEMSRecord, FlightListRecord are updated (345b8cd)

• flight_list_df and playback_df now calls their proxy *_arrow functions to ensure consistent data types (3edf447)

  • flight_list_df timestamp are now milliseconds, flight_id and icao24 no longer floats.
  • playback_df now serialises ems and metadata.

• find now accepts optional httpx.AsyncClient parameter

New Features

• HTTP/2 is enabled by default to avoid 464 errors (3ce6da6)
• live feed now supports modifying the fields parameter
• updated CLI (e19e5ba):
  • all three services are now implemented
  • -o, --output: supports saving to specific directory or stdout (-)
  • -f, --format: supports saving to parquet or csv
