History
FlyItalyADSB ADS-B history through the API: the dates with a track for one aircraft and one day's track, coverage since 2022, and what is not available.
Updated
History is per aircraft and per day, with the same key and limits as the rest of the API:
# the dates with a track
curl -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY" https://api.flyitalyadsb.com/v2/history/4ca7b5
# one day's track
curl -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY" https://api.flyitalyadsb.com/v2/history/4ca7b5/2026-09-15
/history/{icao}answers{"icao", "count", "dates": ["2026-08-17", …]}./history/{icao}/{date}returns that day’s track in readsb’strace_fullformat:icao,timestampandtrace, a list of points. Each point has the seconds aftertimestamp, latitude, longitude, altitude (feet or"ground"), speed and track, plus further fields described in readsb’s documentation.- The
X-History-Sourceheader islocal(recent days) orr2(archive). The first request for an archived day can take a little longer.
