The Most Powerful Airline API Available

Aviation Edge API for Developers

Our database is divided between static and dynamic data. Static data is that what does not frequently change but due to the massive size of our database, there are constant updates. Think about airport and airline information. 

The dynamic data is that what changes more frequently or uses our software to turn it into useful tools. Think about flight tracker API and airport schedules API. It’s a REST API so depending on the development language you use, you can find the suitable method to develop it.

You can find the examples of each endpoint below. The layout of the GET requests are as follows:
For an entire dataset, when available:
https://aviation-edge.com/v2/public/[ENDPOINT]?key=[API KEY]
For specific string value information:
https://aviation-edge.com/v2/public/[ENDPOINT]?key=[API KEY]&[STRING]=[VALUE]
