What are Tier 1, Tier 2, etc.?
Each API endpoint is backed by different degree of technical complexity. Depending on it, we nominate endpoints as more or less expensive, by assigning them a certain category – a Tier. The higher the Tier number, the more expensive the endpoint. You can find which endpoints belong to which Tier in our documentation. Note, that this is not the same as an endpoint group (Flight API, Aircraft API, etc.). Each group may contain endpoints from various Tiers. Tiers are unified across all marketplaces. Even though specific pricing may differ from marketplace to marketplace, the cost relation between tiers remain universal.
Do you have free trials?
We temporarily reinstated our free plans on API.Market as a part of our 2024 promotion!
In the past, we used to provide free access to our Basic plan, which is an excellent plan for trying the API. Unfortunately, this option was often abused by customers creating multiple accounts and continuing using our API this way for extended periods of time. Effective July 2023 we discontinued completely free access to AeroDataBox API and put a symbolic fee for the lowest of our plans.
Do you provide free or discounted access for students?
Yes, we do. Learn more on this page.
Why charging at all?
Even a relatively small enthusiast-driven project, like AeroDataBox, processes gigabytes of data in a very complex manner daily. It requires constant attention from highly qualified professionals involved with the project and regular payments for the server infrastructure. In a modest attempt to compensate for these expenses and volunteering, our API is made public at a very low cost.
Can I subscribe to AeroDataBox directly, without marketplaces or intermediaries?
Unfortunately AeroDataBox API is provided exclusively through listed API marketplaces at the moment. However, we have plans to start providing direct access to our API, hopefully in 2025. Under certain conditions we may, however, provide direct access to our API earlier than that, subject to an extra fee. Contact us for details.
