flightaware.js v1.0.3

flightaware.js - Node.js RESTful API for FlightAware.com

This is a Javascript/Node.js based wrapper which simplifies communication with the FlightAware.com RESTful APIs. Documentation for the APIs can be found at: http://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/explorer

In order to use these APIs, you'll need to be a commercial subscriber to the FlightAware.com service, have a user name, and an API key.

FlightAware.com API access

In order to use the flightaware.js module, you'll need to have FlightAware username and api_key. You can get these from http://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml. Note, that you'll need to sign up for the service. There is a free tier of service, but not all of the APIs are supported and the unit tests, described below, may fail.

You can find an example of how to use flightaware.js with AngularJS/node/express/bootstrap here.
