Live ADS-B aircraft state vectors over a bounding box

🚆 TransportDEADchecked 9h ago
AUTH NONECORS ✗AGENT ?HTTPS ✓COMMERCIAL ✗

Returns real-time state vectors (position, altitude, velocity, heading) for aircraft currently tracked by the OpenSky sensor network. Anonymous requests work without a key but are throttled and coarsened in time resolution. Great for flight-tracking maps and airspace dashboards.

OpenSky Network: common questions

Is OpenSky Network free to use?

Yes — OpenSky Network is a free transport API. Free tier: Free for non-commercial/research use; anonymous requests are rate-limited and time-coarsened. The free tier is for non-commercial use.

Does OpenSky Network need an API key?

No — OpenSky Network needs no API key or signup. You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (Anonymous access throttled; registered/OAuth users get higher limits).

Can I call OpenSky Network from the browser?

Not directly — OpenSky Network doesn't send browser-friendly CORS headers, so call it from a server or proxy instead. Copy the curl or Python snippet on this page to get started.

Is OpenSky Network up right now?

As of our last scheduled check, OpenSky Network is dead. We re-probe it every sweep — the status badge and uptime chart above always show the latest.
