Bring your own key. This API needs your own Flightradar24 key - get one from the provider, add it once below, and the proxy injects it on every call. Your OmniStream plan covers the unified SDK, key storage, and proxy - the provider's own rate limits still apply to your key.

This is a community listing. If you own this API, you can request ownership.

Install the SDK

npm install omnistream-sdk

import { OmniClient } from "omnistream-sdk";

const omni = new OmniClient({ token: process.env.OMNI_KEY! });

// One key reaches every API on the marketplace.
const data = await omni.call("flightradar24/get-airlines-light");

One install, one key - the same client calls every API on the marketplace.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an API key to use Flightradar24?

Yes. Flightradar24 uses bearer authentication, so you bring your own key from the provider. You store it once on OmniStream and the proxy injects it into every call, so your code only ever sends your Omni key.

What can you do with the Flightradar24 API?

Live and historical flight positions, airport data, airline data, flight tracks, events, and API usage from Flightradar24. It exposes 16 endpoints over GET, including GET /api/static/airlines/{icao}/light, GET /api/static/airports/{code}/full, GET /api/static/airports/{code}/light.

How do I call Flightradar24 from Python, TypeScript, Rust or Go?

Install the OmniStream SDK for your language and call Flightradar24 through it. The client is generated from this API's OpenAPI spec, so parameters and responses are fully typed, and the same client also calls every other API in the marketplace.

Is Flightradar24 free to use on OmniStream?

You can start on the free plan. OmniStream charges for the unified SDK, key storage and proxy rather than for Flightradar24 itself, and Flightradar24's own rate limits still apply to your provider key.
