Airport Autocomplete API

Introducing the Airport Autocomplete API

The Airport Autocomplete API Aviation Edge provides allows clients to reach airport data based on input they wish to implement within API calls. It comes as an integral part of the Autocomplete API. The example parameter for the Airport Autocomplete API would be as “city=[input]”. This may be partial input as well as a complete input. For example, if we were to explain the example given at the top of the page further: 

 

A call made with the parameter “city=amsterdam” would reveal all airports in the city Amsterdam including complete details such as:

 

  1. Airport details which include full names, name translations into local languages, official abbreviations and routes of airports,
  2. IATA and ICAO codes,
  3. Location information and contact information of all airports within the specified city. 

 

If a call is made with the parameter “city=ams” via the Airport Autocomplete API, the call would reveal the airport data groups above regarding all cities that include “ams” in their names such as Dharamsala, Williamsport, Namsang etc. Therefore, the API can provide you specific data as well as cumulative data.

City Autocomplete API

The other integral part of the Autocomplete API would be the City Autocomplete API. This API pulls complete and actual data from our Cities Database. The data contained in the City Autocomplete API is received from many official resources as well as our trusted data partners worldwide. 

The example parameter would be the same as above. The call made with the input, shows data about the requested city. This information includes:

 

  1. Basic information about a certain city which includes the full name, IATA code of the city, ISO-2 of the related country,
  2. Location data which is latitude and longitude information as well as time zone,
  3. GMT offset and Geonames ID and
  4. Translations of the city names into local languages (many languages are supported and expanding).
