Description

There are often over 100,000 up to [200,000](https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/flights-sky-map-worldwide-air-traffic-aviation-busiest-day-june-a8428451.html) flights per day. It would be such a mesmerizing thing to visualize even a few thousand moving around the globe with possible interactivity in P5.js. _Something like [this](https://flightaware.com/live/) but in **3D**_

I've found [this](https://aviation-edge.com/) **free** API which can give up to 3000 and potentially more. But I think even this is surplus. _It returns JSON, _of course_, and it shall be a pretty interesting beginner-friendly area to start with._

Here is my [API_KEY](http://aviation-edge.com/v2/public/flights?key=d0d178-7e0a13&limit=1) 🙈 to save you the time.

Consider [this](https://flightaware.com/commercial/flightxml/) as it may be more rich content wi$e. [**Non-Free**]
