The official OpenSky Network API

This repository contains API client implementations for the OpenSky Network in Python and Java as well as the sources for the documentation. By using the OpenSky API, you agree with our terms of use.

Python API

Installation

sudo python setup.py install

or with pip (recommended)

pip install -e /path/to/repository/python

Usage

from opensky_api import OpenSkyApi
api = OpenSkyApi()
s = api.get_states()
print(s)

will output something like this:

{
  'states': [
    StateVector(dict_values(['c04049', '', 'Canada', 1507203246, 1507203249, -81.126, 37.774, 10980.42, False, 245.93, 186.49, 0.33, None, 10972.8, None, False, 0])),
    StateVector(dict_values(['4240eb', 'UTA716  ', 'United Kingdom', 1507202967, 1507202981, 37.4429, 55.6265, 609.6, True, 92.52, 281.87, -3.25, None, None, '4325', False, 0])),
    StateVector(dict_values(['aa8c39', 'UAL534  ', 'United States', 1507203250, 1507203250, -118.0869, 33.8656, 1760.22, False, 111.31, 343.07, -5.2, None, 1752.6, '2643', False, 0])),
    StateVector(dict_values(['7800ed', 'CES5124 ', 'China', 1507203250, 1507203250, 116.8199, 40.2763, 3459.48, False, 181.88, 84.64, 11.7, None, 3566.16, '5632', False, 0])),...
  ],
  'time': 1507203250
}

Java API

  • Maven project (not yet in a public repository)
  • Uses OkHttp for HTTP requests

Installation

For usage with Maven

mvn clean install

Add the following dependency to your project

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.opensky</groupId>
    <artifactId>opensky-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.0</version>
</dependency>

Usage

OpenSkyStates states = new OpenSkyApi().getStates(0);
System.out.println("Number of states: " + states.getStates().size());

Using the API within Android Apps

Build and install the OpenSky API in your local repository as described above. You can use it within your Android App by telling gradle to lookup the local repository and adding the dependencies.

In build.gradle, add the following lines

dependencies {
    /* do not delete the other entries, just add this one */
    compile 'org.opensky:opensky-api:1.3.0'
}

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

Also note, that you need the INTERNET permission in your manifest to use the API.

Running behind a Proxy

If you need to use a proxy server, set the http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort flags when starting your application:

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=10.0.0.10 -Dhttp.proxyPort=9090 ...
