Notify if configured planes have taken off or landed using Python with <a href="https://opensky-network.org/">OpenSky</a>(free) or <a href="https://www.adsbexchange.com/">ADSBExchange</a> Data(paid but much better), outputs location of takeoff location of landing and takeoff by reverse lookup of coordinates.
### Discord Output Example

### Background
I made this program so I could track Elon Musk's Jet and share his whereabouts with others orginally on Twitter (but now suspended, but now also on other platforms). I have now expanded and run multiple accounts for multiple planes, a list of the accounts can be found here <https://grndcntrl.net/links>
### Contributing
I'm open to any help or suggestions, I realize there are many better ways to improve this program and better ways to get this program to work properly, I'm only a noob. I'll accept pull requests. If you'd like to discuss join <https://discord.gg/groundcontrol>
### [Algorithm](PseudoCode.md)
## Setup / Install
- Install using the following steps or use Docker, scroll down to the Docker section.
### Make sure Python/PIP is installed
```bash
apt update
apt install python3
apt install python3-pip
```
### Install Pipenv and Dependencies
```bash
pip install pipenv
pipenv install
```
### Install Selenium / ChromeDriver or setup Google Static Maps
Selenium/ChromeDriver is used to take a screenshot of the plane on globe.adsbexchange.com. Or use Google Static Maps, which can cost money if overused(No tutorial use <https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/get-api-key> to get to a key).
#### Chrome
- This is assuming linux/debian
```bash
curl -sSL https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add
echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list
apt update
apt install google-chrome-stable
```
These output methods once installed can be configured in the planes config you create, using the example plane1.ini
### Install Screen to run in the background
```bash
apt install screen
```
### Download / Clone
```bash
apt install git
git clone -b multi --single-branch https://github.com/Jxck-S/plane-notify.git
cd plane-notify
```
### Configure main config file with keys and URLs (mainconf.ini) in the configs directory
- Copy `mainconf.ini.example` to `mainconf.ini` andCopy `plane1.ini.example` to `plane1.ini`. `plane1.ini` can change names as long as it ends with the ini extension
- Edit them with nano or vi on the running machine or on your pc and transfer the config to where you will be running the bot
- Pick between OpenSky and ADS-B Exchange
- The OpenSky API is free for everyone but the data is not as good as ADS-B Exchange. The ADS-B Exchange API is not free and this program will not work for the Rapid API from ADS-B Exchange. It only works with the API that they give when you have a partnership with ADS-B Exchange. It is not cheap to get the ADS-B Exchange full API, Don't contact them unless you are ready to pay.
- If you'd like to add support for ADS-B Exchanges RapidAPI feel free to work on it and submit a merge request.
- If you've set up multiple planes and want to use ADSB Exchange as your source you must have /all endpoint access to their API or it won't work.
- Pick the correct API version for ADS-B Exchange.
- Proxy is if your running multiple programs that use the ADSB Exchange, setup the proxy from lemonodor so you don't abuse the ADSB Exchange API, otherwise leave enable false.
- When using OpenSky there are more bugs because I mainly use ADS-B Exchange and work less on the OpenSky Implementation.
### Configure individual planes
- An example file is given (plane1.ini) plane config files should be in the configs directory, the program looks for any file in that folder with a .ini extension.
- Each plane should have its own config
### Enter and create a new Screen Session
```bash
screen -R <name screen whatever you want>
```
### Start Program
```bash
pipenv run python __main__.py
```
## Using with Docker
Install [docker from their website](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/). Run the following command from the root of the project.
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
After running this command, due to the `-d` flag the container will be running in the background. To see the logs of the docker container use `docker logs CONTAINER` (add `-f` to continue streaming the containers output)
### Telegram message feature - march/2022
Data obtained can be sent through Telegram to a chat (contact), channel or groups.
Creating a Telegram Bot
- Start a conversation with [BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather);
- Send it to the BotFather: /newbot
- Choose a name for your bot;
- Choose a username for your bot;
- Done! You'll get a token to access the HTTP API.
Getting channel or chat (contact) ID
- Start a conversation with [JsonDumpBot](https://t.me/JsonDumpBot);
- It will reply with a json with information from the message;
- Go to the channel or chat you want the id and forward a message from there to JsonDumpBot;
- Find the id in the reply. It'll look something like this:
```bash
{...
"forward_from_chat": {
"id": xxxxxxxxx,
...}
```
- Don't forget to add the bot as admin in channel so messages can be sent.
Getting a group ID
- Open [Telegram web](https://web.telegram.org);
- Go to group and check the url on address bar of browser;
- That's the group ID (-xxxxxxxxx), it'll look something like this:
```bash
https://web.telegram.org/z/#-xxxxxxxxx
```
### TODO
- General Cleanup
- Restructure project to make it proper currently random files because I didn't know how to properly structure a project before. (in progress)
- Add proper logging and service to run the program and remove excessive printing.
- Better single config YAML, or DB maybe
