Automatic flight data fetching with flight number #18

Open pbogre opened 1 month ago

Similar to how myflightradar24 does it, allow the option to automatically fetch flight data given a flight number and date.

An API that has been suggested for this is AviationStack, which is free for 100 requests a month.

UI-wise, I would have a new database column for flight numbers, and I could add a button next to the input for the flight number that attempts to fetch flight data via the API.

+1 for adding a new column for flight number. Added bonus if it also fetches flight data.

@simonopt The latest version (:experimental tag on docker hub) does have a flight_number field
