Hello. I am currently facing a challenge with integrating the FlightAware API into my flight tracking application. The primary issue revolves around correctly structuring and obtaining the fa_flight_id, which is a unique identifier required by the API to fetch a flight’s track map. The format of this ID seems complex (example format: UAL1234-1234567890-airline-0123), combining airline code, flight number, a unique identifier, and possibly other specific details. I’m having difficulty determining how to generate or retrieve this fa_flight_id for a given flight, such as “GF 524”. I need assistance in understanding how to correctly obtain this ID from FlightAware’s system or if there’s an alternative method to query the API using more commonly known flight identifiers. Any guidance or insights into how to navigate this aspect of the FlightAware API would be greatly appreciated.
