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.

Data table
| Field | Description |

registeredDate / firstFlightDate / deliveredDate / rolloutDate | Unix timestamps for key lifecycle dates (may be null if unknown) |
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.
