🛩️ VATSIM Live Network Scraper
🚀 Pull the entire live VATSIM network in one run. Around 1,800 online pilots and 190 controllers, each as a clean flat record with position, flight plan, and frequency.
VATSIM is the global online flight simulation network where thousands of virtual pilots and air traffic controllers fly and control together in real conditions. This Actor reads the official VATSIM Data v3 feed and turns the current live snapshot into a structured table you can analyze, map, or pipe into your own tools.
Coverage is worldwide and live. Every connected pilot and controller present in the feed at run time is available, with no account, key, or login required.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Flight sim community builders, ATC trainers, VATSIM event organizers, aviation data hobbyists, dashboard makers | Live traffic maps, event load monitoring, network analytics, ATC staffing views, training dashboards |
📋 What the VATSIM Live Network Scraper does
It fetches the live VATSIM Data v3 snapshot and maps each entry to one flat record.
- Pilots mode returns every connected pilot with callsign, member name, CID, latitude, longitude, altitude, ground speed, heading, transponder, and a flattened flight plan (aircraft, departure, arrival, alternate, cruise speed, planned altitude, route, remarks).
- Controllers mode returns every online controller with callsign, frequency, facility, rating, visual range, and logon time.
- Optional filters narrow results by callsign text, and for pilots by departure or arrival airport.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: altitude, arrival, callsign, cid, departure, facility, frequency, groundspeed, latitude, longitude, name, results, scrapedAt. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
