"""
scrape_flights.py — Fetch all flight logs from RocketReviews.com and scrape
each detail page, saving structured JSON to source/flights/.
The index is fetched from a single date-range endpoint that returns all
flights at once. Detail pages are scraped only for flights that have an
image/detail URL. Flights without a detail page are saved with index fields
only and detail fields set to null.
Output
------
source/flights/index.jsonl one record per flight (raw index fields)
source/flights/detail/{id}.json full parsed detail per flight
Usage
-----
python scripts/flights/01_scrape.py
python scripts/flights/01_scrape.py --delay 1.0 --limit 10
python scripts/flights/01_scrape.py --force # re-scrape existing files
