Flight Data APIs
ADS-B transponders only broadcast position, speed, heading, and altitude — not the route. To get origin/destination you need a flight schedule or operations API. Here are your best options:
ADSB.fiFREE · No Key
Real-time ADS-B positions from a global volunteer receiver network. Returns registration, aircraft type, speed, altitude, heading. Currently used as primary source in this tracker.
No API key required
Returns aircraft type (e.g. B738) + registration
Fast, generous rate limits
No origin/destination data
api.adsb.fi/v1/lat/{lat}/lon/{lon}/dist/{nm}
OpenSky NetworkFREE · No Key
Academic ADS-B network with bounding-box queries. Good for coverage over Europe and North America. Lower rate limits than ADSB.fi for anonymous calls.
Bounding-box region queries
Historical data access (with registration)
No aircraft type or registration in free feed
400 anon calls/day limit
opensky-network.org/api/states/all?lamin=…
