OpenSky Network REST API，响应按位置过滤

Question

Just starting out using the OpenSky Network REST API and am looking for a way to capture aircraft in a particular location. I can see an api/states/all endpoint, and a way to filter results by receiver using serials=nnn (although the Receiver Availability page only gives the serial number, not the location of the receivers), but is it possible to only fetch aircraft state vectors that match a requested location/range? It could be done in the client of course, but this would help to minimise the API traffic

Answer 1

A few months ago, a latitude and logitude filter for requests to /api/states/all was added to the OpenSky API:

Please refer to the API Documentation for further details.

Answer 2

I'm one of the OpenSky Network developers.

Filtering for a particular area is not possible at the moment. We are planning to implement a bounding box filter, but it won't be available before autumn 2017.

Update August 2018 (a bit late, because I nearly forgot about this post)

In the meantime filtering by location is possible. You can define a bounding box using lamin , lomin , lomax und lamax ( lo = longitude, la = latitude). Here is an example:

https://opensky-network.org/api/states/all?lamin=45.8389&lomin=5.9962&lamax=47.8229&lomax=10.5226
