AirLive Aviation News Scraper
Scrape AirLive aviation news from any RSS feed or topic, up to a million articles per run. Every article comes with its title, publication date, and link. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
AirLive publishes round-the-clock aviation news, incident reports, and fleet updates that the public RSS feed exposes without any API key or registration. This reads that feed directly, filters articles by title keyword, and lets you limit how many you collect. It is the fastest way to turn the AirLive news archive into a structured dataset.
| Who uses it | What they scrape AirLive for |
|---|---|
| Aviation journalists | Monitoring breaking airline incidents and route announcements as they hit the feed |
| Airline competitive analysts | Tracking fleet changes and carrier news mentions over time |
| Data aggregators | Building a searchable archive of global aviation events from a single source |
What it does
This Actor collects AirLive aviation news articles from a configurable RSS feed and returns each one as a flat row.
- ๐ก Configurable feed: point the default AirLive feed or any other RSS endpoint you own.
- ๐ Keyword filter: supply a topic or phrase and keep only articles whose titles contain it.
- ๐ฆ Volume control: set a hard cap from 1 to 1,000,000 articles so the run stops when you have enough.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.
What you can do with AirLive data

๐ Build an aviation dataset.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting zero results?
First, check that the feedUrl is reachable and returns valid RSS. Then verify your keyword filter: it matches exactly, so typos or extra spaces will cause zero matches. Try running without the query field to confirm the feed works.
The run finishes but only returns a few articles.
Your maxItems setting may be low, or the feed itself may contain only a limited number of entries at the moment. RSS feeds usually hold the most recent 10 to 30 posts. Increase maxItems and, if the feed still returns few items, you are already scraping its full contents.
I changed the feedUrl and the actor fails.
Make sure the new URL points to a valid RSS or Atom XML feed. The actor expects standard feed formats. Paste the URL into a browser and check that it returns XML, not an HTML page or a 404 error.
The dataset shows garbled or encoded characters.
The actor preserves the encoding the feed declares. If you see issues, open the feed in a text editor to verify its declared encoding matches the actual content, and then set your CSV or JSON viewer to the same encoding.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need an AirLive account or API key to scrape? | No. The actor reads the public RSS feed at airlive.net/feed, which requires no authentication. You can also point it at any other public RSS URL. |
| How does the keyword filter work? | The filter checks whether the article title contains the exact phrase you enter. It is a simple substring match, not a full-text search of the article body. |
| Can I scrape the full article text? | The actor reads the RSS feed items, which include the title, publication date, and link. Full body text is not available in the RSS feed entries, so each row returns what the feed provides. |
| How many articles can I get in one run? | You set the maximum with the maxItems field, from 1 up to 1,000,000. The run stops once it hits your cap or the feed runs out of items. |
| What output formats are supported? | You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify platform after the run finishes. |
| Can I scrape a different RSS feed, not AirLive? | Yes. Change the feedUrl input to any valid RSS feed you need. The actor treats every feed the same way: it parses the items and applies your keyword and count limits. |
| Will I get duplicate articles if I run the actor repeatedly? | The actor does not deduplicate across runs. If the feed returns the same items on the next pull, they will appear again. You can use Apify's dataset deduplication or handle it in your downstream pipeline. |
| How often does the AirLive feed update? | AirLive publishes news throughout the day, and the RSS feed reflects new articles shortly after they go live. You can schedule the actor to run hourly or daily to capture fresh content. |
