What does Planefinder Aircraft Info Scraper do?

Planefinder Aircraft Info Scraper looks up aircraft registry details from Planefinder's mobile API by ADS-B hex code (ICAO24 transponder address) — manufacturer, model, engine configuration, operator, and key dates (registered, first flight, delivered).

Results are pushed directly to an Apify dataset.

Why use Planefinder Aircraft Info Scraper?

  • Fleet research — build a database of aircraft specs for a set of registrations/hex codes.
  • Enrichment — attach manufacturer/model/operator details to live-tracking or timeline data from other Planefinder scrapers.
  • Aviation history — check when a specific airframe was registered, first flew, or was delivered.

  2. In the Input tab, enter one or more ADS-B hex codes.

Tips

  • Hex codes not found return no output item and a warning in the log, rather than failing the run.
  • Combine with the Planefinder Search Scraper to resolve a callsign/registration to an ADS-B hex first.

Pricing

This Actor uses the Pay Per Event model: $0.03 per result (one aircraft looked up) in the dataset, plus a negligible one-time actor-start fee. Hex codes that return no match are not charged.
