Importing flights #94
Description
An interface for automatically importing flight data is desirable. This is something I am planning on introducing after the initial release due to its complexity.
There are several ways of doing this
Importing and parsing a PDF
- very complex, lots of different formats, PDF parsing breaks easily with minor changes
- probably a nightmare to maintain, requires constant care
Accessing a flight tracker API
- FlightRadar24 or similar
- Should contain all the basic data required (OOOI, Registration, Departure, Destination,...)
- Should require little maintenance once implemented
- Problem: Most APIs have a commercial license ($$$)
