Plans

Anonymous

Unauthenticated access to the REST API with limited resolution and daily credit quota. Only current state vectors available, with 10-second time resolution.

Standard (Authenticated)

Authenticated access for registered OpenSky Network users. Higher daily credit quota and access to historical state vectors up to one hour in the past, with 5-second time resolution.

Active Feeder

Authenticated users who operate an ADS-B receiver with at least 30% uptime in the current month receive double the daily credit allowance.

Licensed (Commercial)

Commercial or operational use requiring a written license agreement with OpenSky Network. Credits replenish hourly rather than daily, enabling sustained high-volume programmatic access. Pricing determined by direct negotiation.
