Is it possible to subscribe to AeroDataBox API directly without marketplaces or intermediaries?

For unlimited plans or custom plans significantly exceeding consumption of Mega, we may provide direct access to our API, subject to an extra fee and a separate service agreement. Contact us for details.
Are there any limitations?
Refer to our FAQ and data coverage pages.
How can I test the data without financial commitment?
There are currently two available options:
-
Subscribe to our API using free or trial pricing plan. These plans have limited quota but all data available on higher pricing plans, so it gives a great idea of what the data may look like.
-
Try our new beta flight data portal powered by our API where you can search individual flights as well as flights per airports.
What are Tier 1, Tier 2, etc.?
Each API endpoint has different technical and computational complexity. We price endpoints based on that by assigning them a certain category – a Tier. The higher the Tier number, the more expensive a call to the endpoint will be. 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.) and a single group may contain endpoints from various Tiers.
