Charts.aero API

[freshJet]

I'm sure some will have discovered Charts.aero, they're a relatively new charts site. Love the site now because it's clean and easy to use, charts are synchronised at least hourly, but best of all, there's an API available.

Problem is, I can't handle APIs.

The API can be found here. There are three ways to retrieve charts; by search string, by IATA and by ICAO. I'll do it through all I think, but just use ICAO for now.

This is the PHP for the ICAO retrieval:

$response = Unirest::post(
"https://charts.p.mashape.com/retrieve/icao",
array(
"X-Mashape-Authorization" => "******************************"
),
array(
"icao" => "",
));

You'll notice the Unirest class, that's required, get it here.

From here on, I'm clueless. How would this work? I'm going to test it through Vansers' charts module, so I've commented out the code that retrieves the airport charts from the database and instead use the PHP above.

Anyone care to help out?

I can have a look at thim but i will need some time if you can wait a couple of days

one fast look that i took is that if you make an iframe looking at http://charts.aero/airport/airport that you want the charts will come up

Not tested but you can give it a go. Let me know if anything needs changing (not going to subscribe to test...)

Also you really should remove your authorisation code from your post.

OK, threw it together and gave it ago:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/freshjet/public_html/core/common/AeroCharts.class.php on line 61

Line 61:
