OpenSky Network API

The OpenSky Network API provides developers with access to real-time and historical flight tracking data from aircraft around the world. It collects and processes information through community-based ADS-B and Mode S receivers, delivering details such as aircraft position, velocity, identification, and flight status. This makes it a valuable tool for aviation research, building flight-tracking applications, monitoring air traffic, and analyzing airspace activity. Developers can use the API for projects ranging from hobbyist dashboards to large-scale data-driven aviation platforms.
