ADS-B Exchange

ADS-B Exchange Geospatial Filtering API

Endpoints allow filtering live data based on geospatial boundaries, such as latitude, longitude, altitudes, or even custom GeoJSON shapes. Use these endpoints to get information about aircraft within a specific radius from a given point, within a polygon, or within a custom shape. Note: When using GeoJSON shape files, only Polygon and MultiPolygon shapes are supported. Any other shapes will be ignored.
