Create an entity in Home Assistant with script output json

[tejasitraj]

Hi All!
I'm super new to python in general, and especially pyscript.
I have written the code below in python to output a json, which shows the aircraft currently tracked by my ADS-B receiver. Now my question is, how do I add this code into pyscript and what adjustments do I need to make, so it creates an entity in Home Assistant with the output? And how do I set the code to run every 5 minutes?

import requests
import json
import time
import datetime
from flightorigindest import *

url = "http://192.168.1.4:8078/data/aircraft.json"
page = requests.get(url)
parsedpage = json.loads(page.text)

data = []
outputjson = {"now":time.mktime(datetime.datetime.now().timetuple()),"aircraft":[]}


for aircraft in parsedpage["aircraft"]:
    row_data = {"Registration": "","Type": "","Flight": "","Altitude": "","Airspeed": "","Origin": "","Destination": ""}
    try:
        row_data["Registration"] = (aircraft["r"])
    except KeyError:
        row_data["Registration"] = ("-")
    try:
        row_data["Type"]=(aircraft["t"])
    except KeyError:
        row_data["Type"]=("-")
    try:
        row_data["Flight"]=(aircraft["flight"])
    except KeyError:
        row_data["Flight"]=("-")
    try:
        row_data["Altitude"]=(aircraft["alt_baro"])
    except KeyError:
        row_data["Altitude"]=("-")
    try:
        row_data["Airspeed"]=(aircraft["tas"])
    except KeyError:
        row_data["Airspeed"]=("-")

    try:
        row_data["Origin"]=(find_origin_destination(aircraft["r"])[0])
    except:
        row_data["Origin"]=("-")
    
    try:
        row_data["Destination"]=(find_origin_destination(aircraft["r"])[1])
    except:
        row_data["Destination"]=("-")
    
    data.append(row_data)

outputjson["aircraft"]=(data)


print(str(len(data)) + " Aircraft Seen")
print(outputjson)

It seems you've made progress with the code you posted in #419. Using the code from that post, you have made getAircraft() a service call. You can also use pyscript to call getAircraft() every 5 minutes from midnight using a @time_trigger decorator, eg:

@time_trigger("period(midnight, 5m)")
@service
def getAircraft():
   ...

wow, you can make a time_trigger AND a service, triggerable by time and manually by a service call?! awesome!
