Steps a workflow can run in adsb.lol.

  • Find aircraft in an areaFind every aircraft adsb.lol is tracking within a radius of a point, closest first: callsign, registration, type, position, altitude, speed, heading, squawk and how far away it is. Up to 250 nautical miles. No API key required.
  • Get the closest aircraftGet the one aircraft nearest a point, within a radius of up to 250 nautical miles, with its distance and bearing. Nothing in range comes back with 'found' set to false rather than failing the step. No API key required.
  • Look up aircraft by hex codeLook up aircraft by their ICAO hex code, the transponder address that never changes for an airframe, and get where each is now: position, altitude, speed, callsign and squawk. Give one or several. One not in the air right now is listed under 'not_seen' rather than failing the step. No API key required.
  • Look up aircraft by callsignFind the aircraft flying under a callsign, such as BAW256 for British Airways flight 256, and get where it is now: position, altitude, speed, registration, type and squawk. Give one or several. A callsign not in the air right now is listed under 'not_seen' rather than failing the step. No API key required.
  • Look up aircraft by registrationFind an aircraft by its registration (tail number), such as G-XLEA, and get where it is now: position, altitude, speed, callsign and squawk. Give one or several. One not in the air right now is listed under 'not_seen' rather than failing the step. No API key required.
  • Find aircraft by typeFind every aircraft of a type that adsb.lol is tracking worldwide right now, such as every Airbus A380 in the air, with their positions, altitudes and callsigns. No API key required.
  • Find aircraft by squawk codeFind every aircraft squawking a transponder code right now, worldwide. Use 7700 to find aircraft declaring an emergency, 7600 for radio failure or 7500 for a hijack. Often none: that comes back as an empty list, not a failure. No API key required.
  • List military aircraftList every aircraft adsb.lol's database marks as military that it is tracking worldwide right now, with positions, altitudes, types and callsigns. Military aircraft often fly without broadcasting a position, so some have none. No API key required.
  • List LADD aircraftList the aircraft on the FAA's LADD list (Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed) that adsb.lol is tracking right now: aircraft whose owners asked for them to be hidden from flight trackers, which adsb.lol still shows. No API key required.
  • List PIA aircraftList the aircraft adsb.lol is tracking right now that fly an FAA privacy ICAO address (PIA): a temporary hex code that hides who owns the aircraft. Usually only a handful. No API key required.
  • Get flight routeGet the route on file for a flight's callsign: where it flies from and to, any stops, and each airport's name, codes and place. Give the aircraft's position too to check the route still fits the flight. A callsign with no route on file comes back with 'found' set to false rather than failing the step. No API key required.
  • Get airportLook up an airport by its four-letter ICAO code: its name, IATA code, city, country, position and elevation. No API key required.
  • Get network statsSee how many aircraft the adsb.lol network is tracking around the world right now, and how many volunteer receivers are feeding it. No API key required.
