get_history_by_flight_number sometimes returns an empty list

[robroc]

First, thank you for this very helpful library.

I'm iterating through a list of flight numbers and calling get_history_by_flight_number without page number (I only need the first page). Sometimes the result is an empty list, seemingly at random. Most times the data is returned properly.

For example, this flight: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/ts824

When using the Flightradar24 API URL, the full data returns as well.

python==3.8.2 pyflightdata==0.8.5

This is a known issue with no solution - the API is just making HTTP calls to FR24’s unofficial json endpoints. So from time to time it gets throttled or fails to get any data. Workaround is to add a sleep in between calls - this could sometimes increase too
