There you can also download OpenAPI specification for each supported API Marketplace and directly “play” with our API if you have already signed up. In addition to this, each API Marketplace has its own developer playground.
Is This Flights API Good for Me?
AeroDataBox is a niche enthusiast-driven aviation and flights API with certain limitations that we openly communicate. We do our best to under-promise and over-deliver. But is an enthusiast-driven API good for your case anyway? That depends!
If you’re developing a small or medium business (SMB / SME) or an application developer who does not require a tough service-level agreement (SLA) or an exhaustive worldwide coverage, our API is just right for you! However, at this point we discourage (and even do not allow in some cases) using our aviation & flights API for mission-critical or enterprise-level products where people may be hurt or severe damage can occur if the API fails for any reason.
Having said that, we’re are working hard to improve this. We expect to implement SLAs and direct access to our API and other data services with extra stability and high availability under special premium terms soon. Read more in our FAQ.
If you need it earlier or should you have special needs, please contact us and tell us your story! We already have a record of implementing custom solutions tailored for specific needs of our customers.
