SWIM ADSB is an application that retrieves live air traffic information from OpenSky Network and demonstrates how it can use the pubsub-facades library in order to publish this information through a broker.

Besides the default pubsub-facades configuration that is required you can also configure the cities you wish to monitor the flight data from as well as how often you want this information to be refreshed. Example:

ADSB:
  CITIES:
    Brussels: 'EBBR'
    Amsterdam: 'EHAM'
    Paris: 'LFPG'
    Berlin: 'EDDB'
    Athens: 'LGAV'
  INTERVAL_IN_SEC: 5

In order to run the application you need first to create and activate a conda environment. The required packages can be found in requirements.txt.

conda env create --name swim-adsb -f requirements.yml
source activate swim-adsb
python app.py

The data produced comes as a list of dictionaries for each flight with the following keys:

[
    {
        'icao24': '4691c7',         # the trasponder identifier of the aircraft
        'lat': 41.8699,             # the latitude of the aircraft
        'lng': 12.2514,             # the longitude of the aircraft
        'from': 'LGAV',             # the origin airport
        'to': 'LIRF',               # the destination airport
        'last_contact': 1560869065  # the timestamp of the last contact in seconds since UNIX epoch
    }
