400 return: Bad JSON request was created by Joey1

Hi,

I am trying to get plane state vectors by using the REST API and providing timestamp. But get Response 400 only when using timestamp.

Below is the output. Any help would be appreciated.

Python 2.7.10 (default, Feb  7 2017, 00:08:15) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.34)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time
>>> import requests
>>> UNIX_TIMESTAMP = int(time.time())
>>> UNIX_TIMESTAMP
1498769637
>>> OPENSKY_API_URL = "https://opensky-network.org/api/states/all?time={}".format(UNIX_TIMESTAMP)
>>> response = requests.get(OPENSKY_API_URL)
>>> response
<Response [400]>

Hi Joey,

there are some limitations for using the REST API. Please refer to the documentation:
opensky-network.org/apidoc/rest.html#limitations
You are lacking the rights to retrieve historical data.

Other than that, we also have a Python binding for the REST API:
github.com/openskynetwork/opensky-api

Cheers,
Matthias
