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.

"originCountry":"France",
"latitude":47.219,
"longitude":8.1556,

}

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.
