Search on callsign or flight?

[E3V3A]

Hi! Great client app.
Would it be possible to search on callsign or flight?

[derhuerst]

I assume it would. This client just queries the public Flighradar24 API that they use for their website.

A PR for this would be most welcome! You can check using the devtools of your browser to find the relevant HTTP request.

Let's try with one. Which one would be more relevant or useful? Perhaps callsign?

[derhuerst]

I don't know which would be useful. Both shouldn't be hard to implement though.

Any updates on this ? I am trying to get scheduled and actual departure times based on callsigns but I can't figure out the mapping/hashing function they are using for the API calls parameters. For example, If I look for flight with callsign TU397, the API call is having value https://data-live.flightradar24.com/clickhandler/?version=1.5&flight=**31c7831b** and for TU564 it's making a call with parameter flight set to 31c7ba47. so it's clear for this case at least that the first 4 alphanumeric characters are mapping to TU i.e the airline code (not sure if it's using IATA or ICAO codes) and the rest to the flight number. Did anyone by chance figure out how to go from callsign to "identification": {"id": "31c7ba47"} . Thanks

I think it is one of the flight IDs (id field in the radar() response, see readme), but I'm not sure what it is composed of.
