API sending same state vectors in a loop

Hello,

Since yesterday at approximately 14:00 UTC I'm facing a weird bug when I query the API. It looks like the API returns the same sequence of state vectors for a while, then it updates, and returns a new sequence again for a while, etc. As if at times the same ADS-B data were processed in a loop.

Is an administrator aware of the problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like the problem solved itself...

I have today the same issues. Currently the following request is replying with the same data but with wrong geo-coordinates:

opensky-network.org/api/states/all?lamin...6014&lomax=6.0659783

What is happening?

Again data from the past. JAF44D has been landed in Brussels at 14:15. This query is made at 14:55. Also flight EWG1UP is already been arrived at the Belgian coast heading to the UK. Strange!!

I confirm that the problem is present again today.

I haven't found any solution to filter out invalid data on client side when this issue occurs. I tried to filter the data based on the timestamp of the last position/last contact update and ignore the data if a repetition occurs in the data, but it's a lost cause. The position of the aircraft is wrong for a given timestamp anyway.

I was encountering this the other day also, I am currently getting accurate data in North America it seems.

Yesterday at 18:26 CET the following lines appeared on my API request:

This flight has been taken off from Maastricht (MST) airport at 17:50 CET. The first line shows an bar. altitude of 723,9 m, but 16 secs later the altitude is 11277,6 m. while true-track and velocity are the same. Even worse, all the following records are all the same. What is going wrong?

See also the tracklog at uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/ETH3750/h...20113.31703/tracklog

Yeah, I've been getting some inconsistent replies from my requests, almost as if it's playing back what happened 30 minutes ago.

Although as mentioned, when I check the time stamp, it does give me the current time.

Let's wait for an answer and solution from Opensky network!!

Again strange sequences of API replies. Sometimes the alititude is null, sometimes 'on_ground' is true while the airplane is in the air, etc. Also a lot of repeats with different time stamps.
Can somebody from Opensky network reply to these messages?

Thank you. I have no twitter account, so I missed that.
