Getting the daily summary of Aircraft Tracked

FlightAware AeroAPI
1

I would like to get the a daily count of aircraft tracked.
Like the columns on the main user stats from the AIRCRAFT TRACKED section.
I have played with the API and didn’t find anything that looked like what I was looking for.
I’m thinking of getting daily totals and being able to track any changes I make.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

From your own receiver? Or in General?

I would like the counts from my own receiver.
Currently I cut n’ paste my stats from the web page and put them in a spreadsheet.

Then you have two options, both based on SQLite

Either you install Virtual Radar Server with DB writer plugin, or you are using this Python solution:
http://cactusprojects.com/logging-dump1090-fa-to-local-database/

It logs the flights coming from your dump1090-fa installation and logs it into a SQL DB.
With a little skills you can create your own reports.

The solutions are not only counting the unique aircraft over a day, but also the flights. So if an aircraft passes your receiver three times with different flight numbers, it is counted three times instead only one for the unique aircraft.
