Hello,

I would like to make a terminal program for vACCHUN where we can see the departures aircraft's data. (Departure airport, destination, estimated departure time etc.). My question is how can I get these data? On VATEUD website I found the following api which is good but this api doesn't contains the EDT.

Thank you for your answer!

Their API doesn't appear to output the data you're looking for, so you're going to most likely have to code it yourself. This data is being pulled from the VATSIM Data File (http://vatsim.aircharts.org/vatsim-data.txt) via randomly selecting a server from the status file (https://status.vatsim.net/). The best way to get this data is to open and read the file and then split the data out and have it search for a match to your airports via the departure airports, then just output the fields you want.
