Future-Airport-Schedules-API

Aviation Edge Future Airport Schedules API provides flight schedule data of a given date in the future by using an algorithm to create the schedule based on historical data. It has global coverage with the exception of military and private airfields and airports with really little traffic. When implemented, your users can choose a flight off the list after picking a date and an airport. Details for each flight in the response include the flight number, flight time, airline, departure and arrival locations, aircraft details, the most used terminal and gate for the flight, and more. The API is particularly useful for online travel agencies and flight booking services.

Documentation

You may find input parameters, output examples with explanations for each item, filter list, and more in the documentation.

Example Fields of Use

• Travel agency and flight booking websites where users are expected to submit a date and view available flights
• Websites, tools or apps to display scheduled flights on a given date
• Flight schedule analysis based on region or dates

Filters

&iata_code=     (obligatory) Departure or arrival airport IATA code depending on the "&type=" value
&type=          (obligatory) Either "departure" or "arrival" as both within the same query is not possible
&date=          (obligatory) Future date in YYYY-MM-DD format

&dep_iataCode=  filter of departure airport if "arrival" for "&type=" was chosen, based on the airport IATA code
&dep_icaoCode=  filter of departure airport if "arrival" for "&type=" was chosen, based on the airport ICAO code
&arr_iataCode=  filter of arrival airport if "departure" for "&type=" was chosen, based on the airport IATA code
&arr_icaoCode=  filter of arrival airport if "departure" for "&type=" was chosen, based on the airport ICAO code
&airline_iata=  option to filter airline based on airline IATA code
&airline=icao=  option to filter airline based on airline ICAO code
&flight_num=    option to filter a specific flight based on its flight number

Useful Code Examples

1. Fetching the Data (axios library used)

const axios = require('axios');

const API_ENDPOINT = "https://aviation-edge.com/v2/public/flightsFuture?key=api-key&type=departure&iataCode=BER&date=2023-12-17";

async function fetchAirportSchedule() {
    try {
        const response = await axios.get(API_ENDPOINT);
        return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error fetching data:", error);
        return null;
    }
}

// Test fetching the data
fetchAirportSchedule().then(data => {
    if(data) {
        console.log("Received Data:", data);
    }
});

2. Display a certain flight’s details

function displayFlightDetails(flight) {
    console.log("Flight Number:", flight.flight.iataNumber);
    console.log("Aircraft:", flight.aircraft.modelText);
    console.log("Departure Time:", flight.departure.scheduledTime);
    console.log("Arrival Time:", flight.arrival.scheduledTime);
    console.log("Departure Gate:", flight.departure.gate);
    console.log("Arrival Gate:", flight.arrival.gate);
    console.log("Codeshare Information:", flight.codeshared ? flight.codeshared.airline.name : "No codeshare information available.");
}

// Test display function with the first flight from fetched data
fetchAirportSchedule().then(data => {
    if(data && data.length > 0) {
        displayFlightDetails(data[0]);
    }
});

3. Filter all flights based on a criteria (example is flights that are to depart after a certain time)

function filterFlightsBefore(data, time) {
    return data.filter(flight => flight.departure.scheduledTime < time);
}

// Test filter function with the fetched data
fetchAirportSchedule().then(data => {
    if(data) {
        const filteredFlights = filterFlightsBefore(data, "07:00");
        console.log("Filtered Flights:", filteredFlights);
    }
});
