FAQ

Questions OpenSky Network owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I see all planes currently flying over a specific area?

    Use the get_states capability and provide the geographic bounding box using lamin, lomin, lamax, and lomax parameters. The agent will return all active aircraft within those coordinates.

  • 02

    Can I track the exact path a flight took yesterday?

    Yes. First, identify the aircraft's ICAO24 address, then use the get_tracks capability with the specific timestamp to retrieve the full trajectory points of that flight.

  • 03

    Is it possible to list all flights that arrived at London Heathrow (EGLL) today?

    Absolutely. Use the get_flights_by_arrival capability, entering 'EGLL' as the airport and providing the Unix timestamps for the start and end of the day.
