402 Payment Required. Sign USDCtransferWithAuthorization, retry with theX-PAYMENT header.DESCRIPTION
Tracks live aircraft positions from the OpenSky Network. Pass icao24 (6-char hex transponder, e.g. 'a808c5'), a callsign (e.g. 'UAL124'), or a bbox {lamin,lamax,lomin,lomax}; returns last-known position, altitude, speed, heading, on-ground flag, and origin country per aircraft. Use it as a flight status check, flight tracker, ICAO24 lookup, callsign lookup, aircraft bounding-box query, or OpenSky state-vector wrapper.
INPUT — request schema
| property | type | description | req? |
|---|---|---|---|
| icao24 | string | 24-bit ICAO transponder address in hex (e.g. 'a808c5'). Lowercase, exactly 6 chars. | optional |
| callsign | string | Flight callsign (e.g. 'UAL124'). Matched against the global state vector; expect higher latency than icao24 lookups. | optional |
| bbox | object | Optional lat/lon bounding box. lamin<lamax, lomin<lomax, |lat|<=90, |lon|<=180. | optional |
OUTPUT — response shape
| field | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| mode | string | Lookup mode used: 'icao24', 'callsign', or 'bbox' depending on which input was supplied. |
| query | object | Echo of the input query parameters (icao24, callsign, or bbox coords) used for this lookup. |
| snapshot_time | number | Unix timestamp (seconds) of when OpenSky captured this state-vector snapshot. |
| count | number | Number of aircraft state-vectors returned in the states array for this query. |
| states | array | Array of aircraft state objects with icao24, callsign, position, altitude, velocity, heading, on-ground flag, origin country. |
| source | string | Upstream data provider identifier, typically 'opensky-network'. |
| attribution | string | Required attribution string for OpenSky Network's anonymous commercial-OK tier. |
