.. The OpenSky Network API documentation master file, created by sphinx-quickstart on Tue Mar 1 19:48:21 2016. You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least contain the root `toctree` directive. The OpenSky Network API documentation ===================================== This is the official documentation of the OpenSky Network's live API. The API lets you retrieve live airspace information for research and non-commerical purposes. Please note that the API does not provide commmercial flight data such as airport schedules, delays or similar information that cannot be derived from ADS-B data contents! Information is generally provided in the form of *State Vectors* (see below). The following paragraphs will help you understand how we represent an aircraft's state and how to use it. There is also a little more specific documentation available for our :doc:`REST API `. We provide a :doc:`Python ` language binding and a :doc:`Java ` language binding for the REST API.
