Getting started

This guide shows how to quickly start using the SafeSky API to publish your UAVs and retrieve traffic for enhanced situational awareness.

Publish your UAVs and Retrieve Traffic

By using the POST /uav endpoint, you can publish one or many UAVs to SafeSky. This allows your UAVs to be seen by manned aviation and simultaneously retrieve traffic in their vicinity. This ensures enhanced safety during your flights.

Example Request:

POST /uav?show_nearby_traffic=true
Content-Type: application/json

[
    {
        "id": "UAV123",
        "latitude": 50.69378,
        "longitude": 4.39201,
        "altitude": 180
    },
    {
        "id": "UAV124",
        "latitude": 50.69400,
        "longitude": 4.39300,
        "altitude": 200
    }
]

Example Response:

        "call_sign": "IBE06CK",
        "transponder_type": "ADS-B",
        "last_update": 1733412793,
        "altitude": 10554,
        "vertical_rate": 2,
        "accuracy": 0,
        "altitude_accuracy": 0,
        "course": 205,

        "turn_rate": 0.0,
        "status": "AIRBORNE",
        "id": "3423C3"
    },
    {
        "latitude": 48.95459,
        "longitude": 2.44153,
        "beacon_type": "JET",
        "call_sign": "NJE419F",
        "transponder_type": "ADS-B",
        "last_update": 1733412793,
        "altitude": 0,
        "vertical_rate": 0,
        "accuracy": 0,
        "altitude_accuracy": 0,
        "course": 292,
        "ground_speed": 0,
        "turn_rate": 0.0,
        "status": "GROUNDED",
        "id": "494105"
    }
]

That's it!

With one single request, you have made your UAVs visible to manned aviation while retrieving real-time traffic data in their vicinity.
