Is it Good for Me?
Is an enthusiast-driven API with limited coverage good for your case? That depends!
If you’re developing a small aviation or hospitality application or website that does not have much demand for data quality, global coverage and service stability, our API might be just right for you! However, you are discouraged (and even not allowed in some cases) to use our API for mission-critical products, especially if your product is involved with real-life aircraft operations or navigation!

Documentation & API Playground
You can find the exhaustive description of each API endpoint on our interactive documentation web-site.
You will also be able to download OpenAPI specification for each supported API Marketplace and directly “play” with our API if you already subscribed and obtained the key.
Each API Marketplace as well has its own API playground which you can use, however we always recommend cross-checking with our documentation web-site as an ultimate source of truth, as documentation on marketplaces may not always be updated on time.
