## Installing

```shell

npm install flightradar24-client

```

## Usage

### `radar(north, west, south, east)`

The four parameters represent a geographical bounding box (in decimal degrees) with:

* `north`: Northern edge latitude

* `west`: Western edge longitude

* `south`: Southern edge latitude

* `east`: Eastern edge longitude

```js

import {fetchFromRadar} from 'flightradar24-client'

const flights = await fetchFromRadar(53, 13, 52, 14)

console.log(flights)

```

```js

[

	{

		id: '10a6b765',

		registration: 'EI-EGD',

		flight: 'FR8544',

		callsign: 'RYR9XK', // ICAO ATC call signature

		origin: 'STN', // airport IATA code

		destination: 'SXF', // airport IATA code

		latitude: 52.7044,

		longitude: 13.4576,

		altitude: 8800, // in feet

		bearing: 106, // in degrees

		speed: 290, // in knots

		rateOfClimb: -1216, // in ft/min

		isOnGround: false,

		squawkCode: '0534', // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transponder_(aeronautics)

		model: 'B738', // ICAO aircraft type designator

		modeSCode: '4CA8AF', // ICAO aircraft registration number

		radar: 'T-EDDT1', // F24 "radar" data source ID

		isGlider: false,

		timestamp: 1520538174,

	}

	// …

]

```

### `flight(id)`

You may use the `id` from one of the results above to query more details. The output will roughly look like the [*Friendly Public Transport Format*](https://github.com/public-transport/friendly-public-transport-format).

```js

import {fetchFlight} from 'flightradar24-client'

const flight = await fetchFlight('e3147c6')

console.log(flight)

```

```js

{

	id: 'e314807',

	callsign: 'BER839C',

	liveData: true,

	model: 'A320',

	registration: 'D-ABDT',

	airline: 'AB',

	origin: {

		id: 'TXL',

		name: 'Berlin Tegel Airport',

		coordinates: {latitude: 52.560001, longitude: 13.288, altitude: 122},

		timezone: 'Europe/Berlin',

		country: 'DEU',

	},

	destination: {

		id: 'GOT',

		name: 'Gothenburg Landvetter Airport',

		coordinates: {latitude: 57.66283, longitude: 12.27981, altitude: 506},

		timezone: 'Europe/Stockholm',

		country: 'SWE',

	},

	departure: '2017-07-22T17:15:00+02:00',

	scheduledDeparture: '2017-07-22T17:15:00+02:00',

	departureTerminal: null,

	departureGate: 'C40',

	arrival: '2017-07-22T18:35:00+02:00',

	scheduledArrival: '2017-07-22T18:35:00+02:00',

	arrivalTerminal: null,

	arrivalGate: '19A',

	delay: 1757,

}
