VATSIM Feed

VATSIM Feed - is a current information about online controllers, pilots, booked flights, available data and voice servers of VATSIM network.

We do parse VATSIM feed and provide it as a JSON-formatted data, so you can use it in your own project for whatever you need.

Output contains these key sections:

• feed_info: information about current feed, including update timestamp, number of connected clients, etc.
• fields_def: name of the fields of each main section (voice_fields, client_fields, prefile_fields, server_fields)
• clients: divided then on atc and pilot, representing online controllers and pilots
• prefile: prefiled flights
• voice_servers: available voice servers
• servers: available data servers
