Cost

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged $0.005 per flight record returned.

Tips

• The live feed returns 14,000+ flights. Use limit or bounds to reduce output size.
• Airport mode is great for tracking all arrivals/departures at a specific airport.
• Airline mode lets you monitor an entire airline's fleet in real time.
• Aircraft type codes follow ICAO standards (B738 = Boeing 737-800, A320 = Airbus A320, etc.).
• For cost control, set a reasonable limit value. The full feed can produce very large datasets.
