Real-time Airport Schedules API for Developers!

Aviation Edge Airport Schedules API is a JSON REST API that provides real-time airport schedules data. We have developed the API for the convenience of developers in all sectors to implement into the best websites and apps. In this article, we will be giving you more interesting details on the API, what to expect from it, and how to access it.

The Schedules API focuses on the details you would typically look for in an airport timetable. By requesting an airport's schedule, you will receive the complete current departure or arrival schedule of the airport. The real-time updates allow keeping track of the delays, cancellations, changes in flights' statuses, and more as they happen. Below are some example use fields of the API, example output, developer information, and access links to inspire you more and help you visualize the data better.

Aviation Edge Schedules API Features: Coverage, Source, and Use Fields

The Real-time Airport Schedules API data has global coverage with no limitations region-wise. It provides current airport timetable data from airports globally with the same availability, speed, and quality. This makes the API a good choice for both international and region-focused projects. The data focuses on scheduled civil aviation, so military and private airfields are not typically included unless they are also being used for scheduled civil aviation.

We aggregate the airport schedules data from multiple sources. These include our trusted data partners in the aviation and data sectors as well as official and public sources like IATA, ICAO, airports, and airlines directly (when available). We then manage this aggregated data on our databases and provide it through fast JSON REST APIs. You may access the APIs with the personal API key assigned to you at any time. The services are subject to an attractive Service Level Agreement that guarantees 99.5% server uptimes. Our Airport Schedules API might just be what you are looking for if you are in search of an API that does not slow your product down and makes sure your users get responses to their requests right away.

Tip: Mix and Match the APIs

Your Aviation Edge API key grants you access to all of our APIs along with the Airport Timetables API. These include Historical Airport Schedules API and Future Airport Schedules API as well! Whether you are looking to build a real-time feature or display historical and future dates, you will have access to all with a single Aviation Edge API key. Build successful projects without having to rely on multiple data providers.

What else do we offer? Our Flights Tracker API, Airline Routes API, Autocomplete API, Static Aviation Databases (Airlines, Airports, Aircraft, Cities, Countries, Time zones, and more) are all under the same API key with no additional costs. It doesn’t get any better than this!

Airport Timetables API: Filters and Output

Below is the standard output for a flight in the Airport Timetables API output:

Refresh the data around every 10 minutes to keep up with the changes in the flight’s situation such as the departure/arrival times, gates, and delays. This way, you can display the latest available data on your platform at all times.

The Timetables API can return one airport’s real-time schedule at a time. This can be either the departure or arrival schedule. If you’d like to get multiple schedules simultaneously, you may simply make individual API calls simultaneously.

The airport IATA code and the type of schedule (departure or arrival) parameters are obligatory for a query to be successful. Conveniently, you can filter the data more and get the API to return a specific airline’s flights or a specific flight only. Use the filters to get the exact data you are looking for every time. Here are example parameters you can use as filters:

• &iataCode= (obligatory) The IATA code of the requested airport
• &type= (obligatory) Can be either departure or arrival
• &status= Current flight status: Can be landed, scheduled, canceled, active, incident, diverted, redirected, unknown
• &airline_name= Airline name (Air France, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, etc) (may need air%20france, american%20airlines, delta%20air%20lines)
• &airline_iata= Airline IATA code
• &airline_icao= Airline ICAO code
• &flight_num= The flight number, 1 to 4 digits, for example: 171
• &flight_iata= The flight IATA number that consists of digits and letters. For example AA171
• &flight_icao= The flight ICAO number that consists of digits and letters. For example AAL171
• &codeshared= If the flight is codeshared, this data will be included. If you don’t want codeshared flights, you can input null.

Tip: How many hours of data will I see in the response? Well, the Timetables API returns data in real-time only and covers approximately 12 hours at a time. This is generally 6 hours earlier and 6 hours ahead of the current time (the time of your API call). Looking for earlier dates? Use the Historical Schedules API. Looking for future dates? Access the Future Schedules API instead. All these APIs and more are included in the same API subscription!
