On the adsbexchange image there appear to be two aircraft.json files. One in /run/adsbexchange-feed and the other in /run/readsb. With just cursory glance they appear to be the same. If I wanted to extract information from it, which one should I use? Will one be going away in a future release? I have a python program which notifies me when selected a/c come into range. Thanks, .....John
I'll let some other folks reply regarding the possible difference between the two, (does the one in the readsb directory include 978 traffic?) but, you can also grab this file via http at: http://adsbexchange.local/tar1090/data/aircraft.json Or, even from outside your network at: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/uuid/?feed=xxxxx where xxxx is your Feeder ID from http://adsbexchange.com/myip.
Thanks. I don't receive 978 traffic so if that's the difference I wouldn't see it. I'm in Canada. Looking at the code, it's the /run/readsb one that is used for the http request.
Is that because you now use aircraft.binCraft.zst? Please leave one or other of the aircraft.json files around for those of us that make use of it. thanks!
That's two services ... i'm just saying you could get away with one of the services with one just passing data to the other. Actually /run/adsbexchange-feed probably doesn't have mlat results .... not sure. There are no plans to remove the json ... i'm well aware many applications use it.
