Search aircraft by Mode S code or tail number

You can access my database of aircraft through the following API:
https://www.foxtrotcharlie.ovh/API/public/api?ModeS=XXXXXX
where XXXXXX is the ModeS code of the aircraft, on 6 digits in hexadecimal.
https://www.foxtrotcharlie.ovh/API/public/api?Registration=XXXXXX
where XXXXXX is the tail number (or registration) of the aircraft (in some countries, tail numbers have a - like in China B-8638, it should be put here).
The output is in json format (RFC4627).
Working samples of the API:
