The FR24 API provides developers with programmatic access to live aircraft positions, historical flight data, flight summaries, and reference data for airports and airlines. The credit-based subscription API uses Bearer token authentication and is available at https://fr24api.flightradar24.com/api with three tiers — Explorer, Essential, and Advanced — covering hobby projects through high-volume commercial applications. created: '2026-06-13' modified: '2026-06-13' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: flightradar24:live-flights-light name: Live Flights Light description: >- Returns a lightweight snapshot of real-time aircraft positions worldwide, including latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, heading, callsign, and aircraft registration. Optimised for mapping use cases that require low-latency positional data without the full set of flight metadata. Supports filtering by geographic bounding box, callsign, registration, airline, airport pair, aircraft type, and altitude range. humanURL: https://fr24api.flightradar24.com/docs/endpoints baseURL: https://fr24api.flightradar24.com/api tags: - Flights - Live - Real-Time - Aircraft Positions properties: - type: Documentation url: https://fr24api.flightradar24.com/docs/endpoints - type: Authentication url: https://fr24api.flightradar24.com/docs/authentication - aid: flightradar24:live-flights-full name: Live Flights Full description: >- Returns complete real-time aircraft flight movement records including latitude, longitude, speed, altitude, and heading alongside enriched flight information such as origin and destination airports, callsign, aircraft registration, aircraft type, operator, and flight number. Supports the same geographic and identifier-based filters as the Light endpoint and is suited for applications requiring full flight context alongside positional data. humanURL: https://fr24api.flightradar24.com/docs/endpoints baseURL: https://fr24api.flightradar24.com/api tags: - Flights - Live - Real-Time - Aircraft Positions - Flight Details properties: - type: Documentation url: https://fr24api.flightradar24.com/docs/endpoints - type: Authentication url: https://fr24api.flightradar24.com/docs/authentication - aid: flightradar24:historical-flights-light name: Historical Flights Light description: >- Provides historical aircraft positional data using Unix timestamp ranges. Returns lightweight position records (latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, heading, callsign, registration) for past flights. Historical data coverage extends back to May 11, 2016, with availability depending on the subscription plan.
