API Documentation

The Aviationstack API was built to provide a simple way of accessing global aviation data for real-time, historical flights, and future flights as well as allow customers to tap into an extensive data set of airline routes and other up-to-date aviation-related information. Requests to the REST API are made using a straightforward HTTP GET URL structure and responses are provided in lightweight JSON format.

The following API documentation can be applied for any major programming language and will present general integration guides and explanations around API endpoints, request parameters and response objects. If any questions remain unanswered for you, simply reach out to the aviationstack support team for assistance.

Getting Started

API Access Key & Authentication

After creating an aviationstack account, you will be able to retrieve your unique API access key using your account dashboard. Each aviationstack account can only be assigned one API access key.

To connect to the API, simply attach the access_key parameter to any valid API endpoint URL and set it to your access key. Find an example below, you can click the button on the right side of the code to execute the shown API request.

Sign Up to Run API Requesthttps://api.aviationstack.com/v1/flights
    ? access_key = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

Keep your key safe: To prevent unauthorized access to your aviationstack account, please make sure to keep your API access key safe at all times. You can always generate a new key using your account dashboard.

256-bit HTTPS Encryption Available on: Basic Plan and higher

Customers registered for the Aviationstack with any plans may connect to the API using industry-standard 256-bit HTTPS (SSL) encryption. You don’t need a paid plan for accessing HTTPS protocol anymore.

Example API Request:

https://api.aviationstack.com

API Errors

If your request to the aviationstack API does not succeed, the API will return a JSON error response that contains error code and message objects indicating the type of error that occurred. The API also supports HTTP status codes, returning a code of 200 for successful requests, and an error status code (e.g. 404) for failed requests.

If a validation error occurs, hence, an API parameter is used in an invalid way, there will be an additional context object containing multiple sub-objects with the associated API parameter as the key and details about the given validation error(s) further sub-objects. Each instance of a validation error contains key and message objects.

Example Error:

{
   "error": {
      "code": "validation_error",
      "message": "Request failed with validation error",
      "context": {
         "flight_date": [
            {
               "key": "invalid_flight_date",
               "message": "The flight date must be a valid date in the format YYYY-MM-DD."
            }
         ]
      }
   }
}

Please note: The API response above has been shortened to show only one data result for readability purposes. To ensure fair usage and optimal performance of our API, we have enforced a rate limitation on this endpoint. Each user is allowed to make one API call per minute. Exceeding this limit will result in temporary access restrictions.

Business Continuity - API Overages

Ensuring our customers achieve success is paramount to what we do at APILayer. For this reason, we will be rolling out our Business Continuity plan guaranteeing your end users will never see a drop in coverage. Every plan has a certain amount of API calls that you can make in the given month. However, we would never want to cut your traffic or impact user experience negatively for your website or application in case you get more traffic.

What is an overage?

An overage occurs when you go over a quota for your API plan. When you reach your API calls limit, we will charge you a small amount for each new API call so we can make sure there will be no disruption in the service we provide to you and your website or application can continue running smoothly.

Prices for additional API calls will vary based on your plan. See table below for prices per call and example of an overage billing.

Plan Name	Monthly Price	Number of Calls	Overage Price per call	Overage	Total price
Basic	$49.99	10,000	0.0074985	2000	$64.99
Professional	$149.99	50,000	0.0044997	10,000	$194.99
Business	$499.99	250,000	0.002399952	50,000	$69.99

Why does APILayer have overage fees?

Overage fees allow developers to continue using an API once a quota limit is reached and give them time to upgrade their plan based on projected future use while ensuring API providers get paid for higher usage.

How do I know if I will be charged for overages?

When you are close to reaching your API calls limit for the month, you will receive an automatic notification (at 75%, 90% and 100% of your monthly quota). However, it is your responsibility to review and monitor for the plan’s usage limitations. You are required to keep track of your quota usage to prevent overages. You can do this by tracking the number of API calls you make and checking the dashboard for up-to-date usage statistics.

How will I be charged for my API subscription?

You will be charged for your monthly subscription plan, plus any overage fees applied. Your credit card will be billed after the billing period has ended.

What happens if I don’t have any overage fees?

In this case, there will be no change to your monthly invoice. Only billing cycles that incur overages will see any difference in monthly charges. The Business Continuity plan is an insurance plan to be used only if needed and guarantees your end users never see a drop in coverage from you.

What if I consistently have more API calls than my plan allows?

If your site consistently surpasses the set limits each month, you may face additional charges for the excess usage. Nevertheless, as your monthly usage reaches a certain threshold, it becomes more practical to consider upgrading to the next plan. By doing so, you ensure a smoother and more accommodating experience for your growing customer base.

I would like to upgrade my plan. How can I do that?

You can easily upgrade your plan by going to your Dashboard and selecting the new plan that would be more suitable for your business needs. Additionally, you may contact your Account Manager to discuss a custom plan if you expect a continuous increase in usage.
