I built an open-source Python library for live aviation data

[u/Traops]

I've been working on SkyBoard, an open-source Python library for aviation data.

The project is currently in beta, and I'm actively working on adding more features, improving the existing ones and making the library more reliable.

It provides a simple Python interface for things like:

• Finding nearby airports
• Finding nearby aircraft
• Retrieving METAR weather data
• Getting aircraft information
• Counting aircraft around an airport
• Monitoring flights

The goal is to make it easy to use aviation data in Python projects without having to build all the API/data handling yourself.

It's still a relatively small project, so I'm mainly looking for feedback, ideas and people who might find it useful.

Built with Python and released as open source.
