🛩 ADSB.lol Live Flights Scraper
🚀 Track live aircraft in seconds. A single radius query around London Heathrow returned 91 airborne aircraft with registration, type, altitude, and speed in one run.
ADSB.lol is a community driven, ad free, filter free aggregator of ADS-B aircraft transponder data. This Actor turns its public API into clean structured records of the aircraft flying right now. Point it at any location, look up a specific flight by callsign or ICAO hex, watch a transponder squawk, or pull the live military feed.
Every result is a live snapshot. Aircraft positions, altitudes, and speeds reflect the moment the query runs, so two runs a minute apart will return a different fleet over the same area.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Aviation enthusiasts and plane spotters | Tracking aircraft over a chosen area in real time |
| Flight data analysts and researchers | Studying traffic density, routes, and altitudes |
| Developers building tracking dashboards | Feeding live aircraft positions into maps and apps |
| Journalists and OSINT investigators | Following military, emergency, or specific flights |
📋 What the ADSB.lol Live Flights Scraper does
This Actor queries the ADSB.lol v2 API and returns one record per aircraft currently reported by the network. It supports five search modes:
- Near a location using a latitude, longitude, and radius in nautical miles.
- By callsign to follow a specific flight such as
KLM701. - By ICAO hex to look up an airframe by its 24 bit transponder address.
- By squawk code to find every aircraft squawking a code such as
7700. - Military feed to pull aircraft flagged as military by the network.
For each aircraft you get its callsign, registration, ICAO hex, aircraft type, category, emergency state, squawk, barometric and geometric altitude, ground speed, track, vertical rate, selected altitude, latitude, longitude, distance and bearing from your search point, signal age, and signal strength.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: altBaro, callsign, groundSpeed, lat, lon, registration, results, scrapedAt, squawk, type. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
