Usage

AeroAPI Class

The AeroAPI class is the main class for interacting with the FlightAware AeroAPI. It provides access to various resources such as airports, operators, flights, and more.

Initialization

To use the AeroAPI class, you need to create an instance of it by passing your API key as an argument to the constructor:

from AeroAPI import AeroAPI

api_key = 'your-api-key'
aeroapi = AeroAPI(api_key)

Airports

The Airports class provides methods for retrieving information about airports. You can access an instance of the Airports class through the airports attribute of the AeroAPI instance:

airports = aeroapi.airports

Methods

• get_airport_info(airport_code: str) -> dict: Returns information about the specified airport.

  airport_info = airports.get_airport_info('KLAX')

• search_airports(query: str) -> list: Searches for airports that match the specified query.

  airport_list = airports.search_airports('Los Angeles')

• get_nearby_airports(latitude: float, longitude: float, radius: int) -> list: Returns a list of airports near the specified latitude and longitude within the specified radius.

  airport_list = airports.get_nearby_airports(33.9425, -118.408056, 10)

Example Usage

from AeroAPI import AeroAPI

api_key = 'your-api-key'
aeroapi = AeroAPI(api_key)

airports = aeroapi.airports
airport_info = airports.get_airport_info('KLAX')

print(airport_info)
