### Get Flights by Aircraft (Shell)

Source: https://openskynetwork.github.io/opensky-api/rest

This example demonstrates how to retrieve all flights for a specific aircraft within a given time interval using the `curl` command. The `icao24` parameter specifies the aircraft's unique identifier, and `begin` and `end` define the time window in Unix time. The output is piped to `python -m json.tool` for pretty-printing the JSON response. This endpoint is limited to data from the previous day or earlier.

```shell
$ curl -u "USERNAME:PASSWORD" -s "https://opensky-network.org/api/flights/aircraft?icao24=3c675a&begin=1517184000&end=1517270400" | python -m json.tool

### GET /states/own - Retrieve Own State Vectors

Source: https://openskynetwork.github.io/opensky-api/rest

Retrieves state vectors for your own sensors without rate limitations. Authentication is required.

```APIDOC
## GET /states/own

### Description
Retrieves state vectors for your own sensors. This endpoint does not have rate limitations. Authentication is required; otherwise, a 403 Forbidden error will be returned.

### Method
GET

### Endpoint
`/api/states/own`

### Parameters
#### Query Parameters

### Get Departures by Airport (Shell)

Source: https://openskynetwork.github.io/opensky-api/rest

This shell command fetches all flights that departed from a specified airport within a given time interval. The `airport` parameter is the ICAO identifier, and `begin` and `end` define the time window in Unix time. The response is a JSON array. The time interval must not exceed two days.

```shell
$ curl -u "USERNAME:PASSWORD" -s "https://opensky-network.org/api/flights/departure?airport=EDDF&begin=1517227200&end=1517230800" | python -m json.tool

```

--------------------------------

### Retrieve All States (Anonymous) - cURL

Source: https://openskynetwork.github.io/opensky-api/rest

This example shows how to retrieve all available flight states from the OpenSky API as an anonymous user. It uses cURL to make the request and pipes the output to `json.tool` for pretty-printing the JSON response. No special authentication or parameters are needed.

```shell
$ curl -s "https://opensky-network.org/api/states/all" | python -m json.tool

```

--------------------------------

### Deserialize OpenSkyStates - Java

Source: https://openskynetwork.github.io/opensky-api/javadoc/org/opensky/model/class-use/OpenSkyStates

This Java method is responsible for deserializing OpenSkyStates objects, likely from a JSON response, using Jackson library. It takes a JsonParser and DeserializationContext as input and returns a deserialized OpenSkyStates object.

```java
OpenSkyStates OpenSkyStatesDeserializer.deserialize(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser jp, com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext dc)
```

--------------------------------

### Retrieve Own Sensor State Vectors - Java

Source: https://openskynetwork.github.io/opensky-api/javadoc/org/opensky/model/class-use/OpenSkyStates

### API Credit Usage Information

Source: https://openskynetwork.github.io/opensky-api/rest

Information on how API credits are calculated for different endpoints, including states/all, flights, and tracks. Credit usage for states/all is based on area size, while for flights and tracks, it's based on query partitions (number of days).

```APIDOC
## API Credit Usage

API credits are used for all endpoints except `/states/own`. Credit usage is generally lower for restricted areas and shorter time frames.

### `/states/all` Credit Calculation

Credit usage for `/states/all` is calculated by square degrees. The area can be restricted using `lamin`, `lamax`, `lomin`, and `lomax` query parameters.

| Area square deg | Credits | Example                                                             |
|-----------------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 0 - 25 (<500x500km) | 1       | `/api/states/all?lamin=49.7&lamax=50.5&lomin=3.2&lomax=4.6`             |
| 25 - 100 (<1000x1000km)| 2       | `/api/states/all?lamin=46.5&lamax=49.9&lomin=-1.4&lomax=6.8`            |
| 100 - 400 (<2000x2000km)| 3       | `/api/states/all?lamin=42.2&lamax=49.8&lomin=-4.7&lomax=10.9`           |
| over 400 (>2000x2000km)| 4       | `/api/states/all`                                                     |

### `/flights` and `/tracks` Credit Calculation

For `/flights` and `/tracks`, credit usage is calculated by the partitions used by the query, which roughly corresponds to the number of days queried.
```

--------------------------------

### Arrivals by Airport
