FlightRadar24 to CSV

NodeJS script to download and parse data from Flight Radar in tsv and GeoJSON format. To generate the files:

1. If the aircraft number is known run node index.js followed by the flightId. For example:

$ node index.js 21b090f8

2. If just know the flight number but not the flightId use FlightRadar24 data portal to get it:

   • Search by flight number id, by aircraft, origin/destination airport etc.
   • Click on play on the desired flight in the Flight history list.
   • Get the value from URL after the # symbol: flightradar24.com/data/flights/vy1292#21b394f6
   • Finally run node index.js flightId.

Video demo.

After the script you will get a folder with the files inside.

{
   "type":"FeatureCollection",
   "features":[
      {
         "type":"Feature",
         "geometry":{
            "type":"LineString",
            "coordinates":[
               [
                  0.225525,
                  51.878933
               ]
...

Note:

The default value of this tool gets the data from the HF803 flight that flies from Yaounde (NSI) to Abidjan (ABJ) . FlightRadar24 keeps only the data for a few weeks so it is likely that when you try this script this default value does not work.
