Export real-time aircraft positions worldwide or inside a geographic bounding box โ callsign, latitude/longitude, altitude, speed, heading, vertical rate, squawk and origin country. Powered by the OpenSky Network public REST API: no API key required for anonymous access.
What you get (one aircraft per result)
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
icao24 | Unique transponder address (hex) |
callsign | Flight callsign (e.g. DLH4AB) |
originCountry | Country the aircraft is registered to |
latitude, longitude | Current position (decimal degrees) |
baroAltitudeM, geoAltitudeM | Barometric / geometric altitude (m) |
velocityMs, headingDeg, verticalRateMs | Speed, track, climb/descent |
onGround | On the ground vs airborne |
squawk, spi, positionSource | Transponder code + flags |
timePosition, lastContact, snapshotTime | ISO timestamps |
trackUrl | Link to the aircraft profile on OpenSky |
Example input
{"lamin":"45.8389","lomin":"5.9962","lamax":"47.8229","lomax":"10.5226","onlyAirborne":true,"maxItems":5000}
Example output (1 row)
{"icao24":"39de57","callsign":"TVF72VT","originCountry":"France","latitude":47.219,"longitude":8.1556,"baroAltitudeM":11887.2,"velocityMs":231.56,"headingDeg":111.78,"onGround":false,"snapshotTime":"2026-06-21T12:47:23.000Z"}
Use cases
- Aviation / logistics analytics โ airspace and airport-traffic snapshots.
- Journalists & OSINT โ track specific aircraft by ICAO24.
- Travel & mapping apps โ live overlay data without running your own receiver.
- Research โ noise studies, route analysis, dataset building.
Honest notes
- Anonymous OpenSky access is rate-limited and updates roughly every 10 seconds โ this actor takes a snapshot per run (global or bounding-box), not a per-second feed.
- For higher limits, supply your free OpenSky account username/password in the input; the actor uses them automatically.
- Coverage depends on OpenSky's volunteer receiver network (excellent over Europe/N. America, sparser elsewhere).
How it works
Calls opensky-network.org/api/states/all with an optional bounding box and/or ICAO24 filter, maps each state vector to a clean record, and pushes one aircraft per dataset item (pay-per-result).
Keywords: flight tracker, live flight data, opensky scraper, aircraft positions api, adsb data, flight tracking export, real-time aircraft data.
