To access this endpoint additional is needed. Your needs to be associated with a which includes the of AIRCRAFT_POSITION

Endpoint

https://api.aviowiki.com/aircraft/position

Parameters

registration The registration marks of the aircraft including the dash separator where applicable. For example, N4252T, D-IEGO, OE-INA.

It is possible to concatenate multiple registration parameters in the query string. For example, ?registration=D-IEGO&registration=G-INTR&registration=N4252T.

Reply

The server replies with 200 unless an error was encountered.

The body of the reply is a JSON list where each object is made up of the following properties:

tailNumber: The aircraft registration in the same format as entered in the request parameters. For example, G-ZBJK.

transponderIcao24: The ICAO 24bit address of the transponder in hexadecimal format. For example 4074e3.

position: A Position object.

Position object

The Position object represent the current position and state of an aircraft.

Properties

baroAltitude: The barometric altitude as reported by the aircraft transponder and with reference to the pressure level of 1013.25hPa. This is measured in meters.

groundSpeed: The ground speed as calculated by a satellite positioning system. This is measured in meters/second.

course: The true course of the aircraft as calculated by a satellite positioning system. Be aware that this is accurate only when the aircraft is in motion.

verticalRate: The vertical rate of climb or descent of the aircraft as reported by its transponder. The unit of measure is meters/second. Negative values indicate a descent.

onGround: A boolean value that indicates if the aircraft is on the ground or in the air. This information is provided on a best effort basis, as not all type of sources support transmission of this data.

observed: An ISO datetime string that indicates when was this position recorded.

source: The type of source that reported this position. Possible values are ADSB, MLAT, ASDI, OCEA, SATE, HFDL, ASTERIX

coordinates: A object.
