Flightradar24 Airport Disruptions Scraper

What does Flightradar24 Airport Disruptions Scraper do?

Flightradar24 Airport Disruptions Scraper returns the airports currently experiencing the most delays or disruptions worldwide, ranked, in a single call — one dataset row per airport, no pagination needed.

It talks directly to the same internal REST API the official Flightradar24 Android app uses (mobile.flightradar24.com), reverse-engineered by static decompilation and validated against real live traffic. No API key, no login, no scraping setup — call the Actor, get JSON back.

This is the /airport/disruptions slice of Flightradar24 All-in-One API, split out as its own focused Actor.

Why use Flightradar24 Airport Disruptions Scraper?

• One call, ranked results — no pagination, no cursors, just the current disruption ranking
• Real delay stats per airport — arrivals/departures/combined, each broken down by yesterday/today/tomorrow/live, with delay counts, percentages, and a live "disruption index"
• No account needed — works fully anonymously, same as the free tier of the app itself
• Use cases: aviation monitoring dashboards, airport operations research, flight-delay news/data journalism, travel-disruption alerting

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
continent	integer	0	0 = all continents
period	string	"live"	Reporting period
type	string	"both"	Arrivals/departures/both

Example:

{
    "continent": 0,
    "period": "live",
    "type": "both"
}

Output

One dataset row per disrupted airport, Flightradar24's own ranked entry shape (trimmed real example):

{
    "airport": {
        "id": 683,
        "name": "Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport",
        "code": { "iata": "CMB", "icao": "VCBI" },
        "country": { "name": "SRI LANKA", "alpha2": "LK", "alpha3": "LKA" },
        "continent": 3,
        "latitude": 7.181139,
        "longitude": 79.883789,
        "city": "Colombo"
    },
    "arrivals": {
        "live": { "index": 5, "averageDelayMin": 70, "delayed": 4, "delayedPercentage": 0.67, "trend": "static" }
    },
    "departures": {
        "live": { "index": 5, "averageDelayMin": 80, "delayed": 3, "delayedPercentage": 0.6, "trend": "up" }
    },
    "combined": {
        "live": { "index": 5, "averageDelayMin": 75, "delayed": 7, "delayedPercentage": 0.64, "trend": "up" }
    }
}

Each of arrivals/departures/combined also carries yesterday/today/tomorrow breakdowns (total, delayed, delayedPercentage, cancelled, cancelledPercentage) alongside live.

Known limitations

• Not paginated by Flightradar24 — this endpoint returns whatever the server currently ranks as disrupted (10 airports as observed live); there is no page/limit parameter to request more.
• It's normal for this to occasionally return few or zero entries — the ranking reflects real-time global disruption levels, which fluctuate.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay Per Event billing: charged $0.01 per disrupted-airport row returned (event airport-status, FREE tier price — lower on paid plans). See the Actor's Pricing tab for current rates.

FAQ

Does this require a Flightradar24 account? No. The Actor uses the same anonymous data feed the Flightradar24 mobile app uses — no login, no API key.

Is this official? No. This is an independent tool using Flightradar24's internal API, reverse-engineered from the public Android app. Use responsibly and in accordance with Flightradar24's Terms of Service.
