  • A free public api to query aircraft & flightroute data

    Super detailed reply. I am starting to understand what the API is doing. For aircraft details (no pictures granted, but for my users/site, that's Ok) I am using the ADSBExchange one here: https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090-db/tree/csv My site script pulls it down every 5 days and updates itself. After that update is done I then run another script that updates the ADSC ICAO in the 'year' part of the ADSB record, so no matter what a person searches for, ADSB ICAO or ADSC ICAO they will find the airframe. There are a TON of people working to keep that db updated and accurate. I am not sure what you do for UAV's, but that is important to me as well (I tried at least one UAV on your site and it came back blank) and the ADSBEx db marks them by type which is super useful for filtering on.

    Unfortunately FlightAware Enterprise doesn't get discounted API access.

    The FlightAware API I was using (they have multiple) didn't provide all the data I wanted either. The ADSB Exchange Rapid API was more comprehensive, but came at a cost.

    The aircraft don't broadcast everything over ADSB - so these sites are all pulling from a database somewhere else. It appears ADSB Exchange and some of the pi based UIs use the tar1090-db. This was easy to work with and free - just need to update it periodically due to registration changes.
