Aviation Edge does not only focuses flight delays and cancellations but complete aviation data with many features that will amaze you!
We aggregate our data from our multiple data partners around the world and present it to you via various APIs that each focus on a specific subject.
The APIs mainly include:
- Static Data: Stable data which does not frequently change, such as information regarding a certain airport and/or airline.
- Dynamic Data: Ever-changing data which is frequently in need of confirmation such as the flight-tracking itself and the airport schedules.
Both the static data and the dynamic data are updated at all times in accordance with the information constantly gathered in our database.
Prefer the data as a file rather than via the API? The complete static data is available as separate standalone databases in Excel, SQL and CSV formats, too. All three are included in any purchase.
Clients are able to access and connect to the historical flight status data via the API key provided. The API key grants access to all flight data live which can be displayed in clients’ applications, websites and/or other platforms of their choice.
After subscribing to one of the Premium plans seen here, you will receive your API key instantly via email. The API key is automatically activated and ready to use right away. The API key stays active as long a subscription does.
Use the many filters available for a simple and clear development experience! For all available endpoints, visit our documentation or use our quick GET tool to test the data.
You can access any of our APIs with your key. There are no restrictions as to how frequently you may make new API calls. Use your limit in any way you like! If monthly limit is not enough, it is always possible to upgrade to a higher plan. For the Unlimited option, feel free to contact anytime!
