Developed so I could auto tweet Elon Musk's jet activity.
Still WIP Should not use yet. Nearing final first version. Notify If a Selected Plane has taken off or landed using Python with OpenSky API, outputs location of takeoff location of landing and takeoff by revese lookup of cordinates.
Nearing final first version. Notify If a Selected Plane has taken off or landed using Python with OpenSky API, outputs location of takeoff location of landing and takeoff by revese lookup of cordinates.
## How It works
- Takes data about every 15 seconds from OpenSky Network compares it to previous data with whats I've defined as a landing or takeoff event.
- A takeoff event event is the plane is not on ground, below 10k feet and ((previously no data and now getting data) or was previously on ground).
- A landing event is previosly below 10k feet and (previously getting data, no longer getting data and previously not on ground) or (now on ground and previously not on ground).
- Given the coordinates of the aircraft the coordinates are reverse looked up for a location name. (Geopy Nomination Geolocater)
- At time of takeoff a takeoff time is set which is refrenced in landing event to calculate an approximate total flight time.
- Static map image is created based off location name. (Google Static Maps API)
- If the landing event and takeoff events are true creates the output to Twitter and Pushbullet, uses the location name, map image and takeoff time if landing. (Tweepy and Pushbullet )
