Methods

GET /api/v1/flights/airport

Report what is happening at an airport right now: what is on the ground, what is on approach and what is climbing out. Live positions, not the timetable, so it says nothing about scheduled or delayed departures

ArgumentTypeDescription
code *stringAn airport code or name, e.g. 'LHR', 'EGLL' or 'Heathrow'
curl \

GET /api/v1/flights/overhead

List the aircraft flying near a location right now, nearest first, with altitude, speed, heading and distance. Live positions broadcast by the aircraft themselves, not a schedule

ArgumentTypeDescription
nearstringWhere to look: a place name, or an airport name or code, e.g. 'Camden, London' or 'LHR'
latnumberOptional latitude, if the location is already known
lonnumberOptional longitude, if the location is already known
radiusnumberOptional radius in nautical miles (default 30, maximum 250)

GET /api/v1/flights/track

Find where an aircraft is right now by flight number ('BA117'), radio callsign ('BAW117') or registration ('G-ZBKL'). Only sees aeroplanes that are airborne and in range of a receiver — not finding one does not mean the flight was cancelled

ArgumentTypeDescription
flight *stringA flight number ('BA117'), a radio callsign ('BAW117'), or an aircraft registration ('G-ZBKL')
