    Hi all,

    I am in the process of getting everything I need to start feeding to ADSBx, but I am also interested in learning more about the capabilities of ADSBx's public api to query data.

    I am not too knowledgable in the different aviation terms/data fields, but I am reading up on the VRS documentation.

    If I wanted to query data for specific aircraft, what data fields would I be interested in? Callsign, ICAO, Model ICAO, Registration, Squawk, etc?

    Any information on the different fields and example query strings would be greatly appreciated! Excited to learn more about aviation :)

    icao hex is the only unique value to an aircraft globally.

    a lot of countries use an algorithm to take one of their icao that a re blocked for their country and make a tail number .. so sometimes they are directly related but not always.
