Getting notification if a specific Aircraft is in the air?

Hey guys, greetings from Germany,

I am currently setting up my feeder for ADS-B Exchange. Nevertheless i bought the API Key

I want to get notifications via E-Mail or Telegram if a Aircraft with a specific Regristration is in the air.

I hope some of you guys can help me:
I have problems creating the wright code. The evaluation does work, but the representation does only work in the "consol.log". On the "local.host" server just appears the first file. I don´t know the reason??

It would be perfect, wheater we would get a mail, as soon the Value "Total" is between 0-1.

I do have a platform / PC in which the Code could run in the future. I am testing on Local - but even this does not work.

I have attached the code, I am using (without the API key and the regristration)

I hope someone can help me....

Cheers,
Luca

 

You bought API key? You mean rapid api.

This is a bit more complex.

API returns JSON.

Parse it and do work ...

Why are you not doing this in PHP? Are you trying to use nodeJS?

 

Not sure if this is helpful but I have a python code snippet that will return 'Found' if an airplane is currently in view of my dump1090 (via JSON). But it is based on the airplane's ICAO code (lower case). You can use this if you can look up or find that from the registration # (which isn't in the JSON) to ICAO. Or you can also switch it to use callsign aka flight. I used to have a setup to send me an SMS when certain planes were "in sight". Just need to replace "found" with your SMS action.

#! /usr/bin/python

import json
import urllib2

j = urllib2.urlopen('http://10.0.1.50/dump1090-fa/data/aircraft.json')
j_obj = json.load(j)

aircraft = j_obj["aircraft"]

for item in aircraft:
hex = item.get("hex")
if hex == "ae080f":
print "Found"
​

Here is a typical airplane's entry in the JSON file showing fields you should use
{"hex":"aa3bf0","flight":"SKW3213 ","alt_baro":23100,"alt_geom":24125,"gs":474.7,"track":94.8,"geom_rate":256,"squawk":"3667","emergency":"none","category":"A2","nav_qnh":1012.8,"nav_altitude_mcp":31008,"lat":32.660678,"lon":-95.794840,"nic":8,"rc":186,"seen_pos":0.5,"version":2,"nic_baro":1,"nac_p":10,"nac_v":1,"sil":3,"sil_type":"perhour","gva":2,"sda":2,"mlat":[],"tisb":[],"messages":10425,"seen":0.1,"rssi":-11.0},

 

Hello. I am new to ADSB exchange. I've recently set up a pi feeder [KPHL_ME_KACY]. Is there any sort of reference material online to research the above rapid api and JSON information. I would like to have this ability for aircraft in my area.

 

You can use your local Pi json (only the planes you receive).

Reference the aircraft json in /run/readsb locally on the Pi.

Use something via the webserver that makes the web ui (http://<ip_of_your_pi>/tar1090/data/aircraft.json).

This is not a trivial task to build if you are NOT a programmer.



For ADSBx API

I understand that but I need a project during this shutdown. My industry is at 0% work and I am trying to fill the down time.

 

Rock on then! Open the local Pi website map and look at network traffic in developer mode ...

I'd assign a static IP to your Pi on your router and build away!

 

Thanks...my first task will be finding that resource!
