The pyopensky
Python library provides functions to download data from the OpenSky Network live API and historical databases. It aims at making ADS-B and Mode S data from OpenSky easily accessible in the Python programming environment.
Full documentation on https://open-aviation.github.io/pyopensky
pip install pyopensky
The library is also available on conda-forge:
conda install -c conda-forge pyopensky
Development mode (with poetry):
git clone https://github.com/open-aviation/pyopensky
cd pyopensky
poetry install

Trino | contact@opensky-network.org (or specify it in the Impala form) |
The first time you use the library, a configuration file named settings.conf
is created, including the following content:
[default]
username =
password =
You will identify the folder where the settings.conf
is located:
from pyopensky.config import opensky_config_dir
print(opensky_config_dir)

from the REST API:
from pyopensky.rest import REST rest = REST() rest.states() rest.tracks(icao24) rest.routes(callsign) rest.aircraft(icao24, begin, end) rest.arrival(airport, begin, end) rest.departure(airport, begin, end)

from the Impala shell (requires authentication):
from pyopensky.impala import Impala impala = Impala() # full description of the whole set of parameters in the documentation impala.flightlist(start, stop, *, airport, callsign, icao24) impala.history(start, stop, *, callsign, icao24, bounds) impala.rawdata(start, stop, *, callsign, icao24, bounds)
-
from the Trino database (requires authentication):
from pyopensky.trino import Trino trino = Trino() # full description of the whole set of parameters in the documentation trino.flightlist(start, stop, *, airport, callsign, icao24) trino.history(start, stop, *, callsign, icao24, bounds) trino.rawdata(start, stop, *, callsign, icao24, bounds)
