Get the current live state vector(s) for one or more aircraft by ICAO 24-bit address
Price: 1 credit
💡 AI Hint: Get the current live state vector for one or more aircraft by their ICAO 24-bit transponder address (lowercase hex, e.g. ‘3c6444’). Returns, per aircraft: callsign, country of registration, last position and contact timestamps, longitude/latitude, barometric and geometric altitude, on-ground flag, ground velocity, true track (heading), vertical rate, transponder squawk code, special-purpose indicator, and position source. Set ‘extended’ to also include the aircraft category. Pass multiple icao24 values to fetch several aircraft at once. Use the ‘states/search’ endpoint to find aircraft by geographic area.
⚠️ Common errors: 412: No live state vector found for the given aircraft
