Aviation Data Link messages received by the Ibosoft ATC receivers, served live by the data link backend (ACARS Backend, open source). The ibonav.aero ATC Data Link frontend software uses the same service.

Documentation: the message format, the endpoints and how the backend works are described in its repository: github.com/ibosoftnet/acars-backend.

Endpoint Description
GET https://dlink-api.ibosoft.net.tr:2096/stream Live Data Link messages as a Server-Sent Events (SSE) stream
GET https://dlink-api.ibosoft.net.tr:2096/health Service status
POST https://dlink-api.ibosoft.net.tr:2096/decode Decoding of ARINC 622 applications operating via the ACARS network (ADS-C, CPDLC, MIAM …)

The backend handles all messages. To request stored D-ATIS and DCL messages, two of the ACARS network ATS application message types, for an aerodrome in a simpler way, without requiring a live stream or database connection, use the Data Link API.
