What’s a good resource for how to best handle errors when querying with the FlightAware API?
More specifically, we loop through and query the flight track on a number of recent arrivals, and if the track isn’t available for a single aircraft, our process breaks. Ideally, we’d like to skip the aircraft in this case. I’m using Python with Suds.
Thanks!
Posting my current approach in case others have a similar concern.
For now, going with the old “try:” and “except:” statement in Python.
Surprisingly high error response on the API, something like 1 out of 5 when calling GetLastTrack with idents received from Arrived query.
Not all flights that we track have positional information, so GetLastTrack will not have any data to return for those flights.
