Sit back, relax, and enjoy the talk: a journey through FlightRadar24 with Python
summary
Uses FlightRadar24API and pure Python notebooks to pull real‑time flights, parse ~800 position points per flight into dictionaries/JSON, and plot trajectories with geopandas, pandas and matplotlib. Demonstrates filtering by airline code, aircraft type and geographic bounds, extracts altitude and speed time series, and downloads up to 10 CSVs/day from a Silver account. Reproduces live maps and altitude/speed diagrams successfully; historical bulk access requires a business plan.
