Usage
Connection#
The following curl command connects to the history endpoint, retrieves data from 8 hours ago(UTC) to 7 hours ago(UTC), for the specified ICAO address, and prints the received data to the console.
Query Parameters#
The following parameters can be specified to retrieve historical data with more accuracy. Since these are query parameters the total number of filters that can be specified is limited by the maximum URL length.
info
The query parameters start, end and icao_address are mandatory in order to retrieve data. To ensure optimum performance and response times, limitation of the selected timeframe to ≤15 minutes is recommended. This relates to all queries, whether for global or regional data and is irrespective of additional filters used.
You can then also add additional filtering parameters such as latitude_between and longitude_between to specify your query.

|---|---|---|
start | datetime | Required - History data extraction starting date, format is in ISO 8601 |
end | datetime | Required - History data extraction ending date, format is in ISO 8601 |
icao_address | string | Required - Comma separated list of ICAO addresses (6 hex characters) |
