Devlog - 4

I know I took a bit long this time too to post a devlog but I am here. I was mainly searching for APIs and all but there are many out there but with too many restrictions or has less rate limits for the free tier. I have stumbled upon one adsb.lol but that gives me a CORS error and I have thought to build a proxy to bypass that and all but before that I have emailed them regarding if it is fine If I do it that way. If you guys have suggestions about it then I will happily accept those. But then I wans’t going to just sit so I coded a hard coded flight details but in a way so that even after I plug in the API link it will still work so my work would not go down the drain. I have coded a panel where it lets you know about flight details and all. I have coded a function which can handle multiple aircrafts by placing the markers where they suppose to be. I will be working on making the information panel a bit better and will make it look professional and all. This is the work I have done till now. Thank you and stay tuned!

@chahatesh

wow this is the best project i ever saw

@chahatesh

This is very cool

@Jhenil

@chahatesh Thank you for the encouragement

@evanssidhu

I’m actually having a similar problem with my own site. Before I just used airplanes.live, but their api shut down last week since apparently many ai coding tools were using the api and they were no longer sustainable. Anyways I remember when I used adsb.fi (adsb.lol probably works too) I set up a development proxy to fix cors errors. This will not work in production though so I think you should look into using serverless functions on a provider like cloudflare, vercel, or netlify. I can’t test anything right now but if I find a fix I’ll let you know.

@evanssidhu When I was making the 3d version of this, I also used airplanes.live and it worked perfectly and was going to use the same for this one but it kepts giving me errors then I researched about the whole shutdown. There are good options out there but either their free version have less creadits which makes the refresh/update at a much longer time or they don’t have free versions and straight up ask you to pay. I have tried out many like OpenSky, Airlabs, AviationStack and etc but they all have some restrictions. Thank you for showing interest in my project and giving me meaningful insights. If I get something then I will let you know as well! Thank you
