# adsb.lol

> Community-run ADS-B network. Independent receivers feed one open dataset, published live and as a daily archive. Open data under ODbL 1.0.

adsb.lol collects ADS-B, MLAT and TIS-B positions from volunteer receivers. The live map is at https://adsb.lol. The API is at https://api.adsb.lol and needs an API key; the raw readsb API for feeders is at https://re-api.adsb.lol. The historical archive is one GitHub release per day (adsblol/globe_history).
