With X integration

Impressions 7D
The idea for this project came after being introduced to Flight Radar 24. At the same time I was starting to have a more realistic view of coding so I knew I had to execute some smaller scale projects. I also became interested in digital automations which prompted my foray into tools like n8n. When I found out that FR24 had an API integration ideas started to solidify.
How it started
The goal of this project was to make an automation that would:
Look at FR24 and find the most interesting Military Flights
Write an X post
Automatically post it using n8n
The Idea
Eventually there had to be some changes to the project. First I had to go from getting data from FR24 to airplanes.live for cost reasons. Additionally I moved from a notification system using Twillio and Whatsapp to using Telegram.
