FlyItalyADSB

FlyItalyADSB operates a global community network that collects unfiltered ADS‑B and MLAT data from around 3,200 volunteer receivers worldwide. Founded in Italy in 2020, the service provides live aircraft positions as well as historical tracks, accessible via a public API with generous free limits and paid plans for higher usage. The API returns data in the same format as readsb and tar1090, and also offers an ADS‑B Exchange‑compatible endpoint. Users can obtain self‑serve API keys, view aircraft on the Lightcone map, and contribute data through feeder scripts. The platform supports commercial use under its licensing terms and is documented in an OpenAPI 3.1 specification hosted on GitHub.

FlyItalyADSB publishes 1 API contract indexed on the APIs.io network: Live API. Tagged areas include ADS-B, MLAT, Aviation, Flight Tracking, and Open Data.

The FlyItalyADSB catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

FlyItalyADSB’s developer surface includes changelog, getting-started guide, documentation, API reference, and 19 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too

3 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Access Clarity scores 10.5 — up to +17.9 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 23.2 — up to +15.4 composite points
Contract Quality scores 51.4 — up to +12.2 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/flyitalyadsb/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/flyitalyadsb to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
