FIDS Made Easier with Relative Time Ranges

You can now request flights from FIDS in easy relative fashion. For example: “give me all arrivals/departures starting from 2 hours ago for the next 12 hours”. No more need to calculate the local time of the airport!

April ’23 Updates: New Endpoints and Performance and Usability Improvements

Search airports by IP geolocation and Search airports by location endpoints now have query-string style counter-parts. If you’re on the most recent pricing plans, we recommend: using /airports/search/location?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&radiusKm={radiusKm}&limit={limit} instead of /airports/search/location/{lat}/{lon}/km/{radiusKm}/{limit} (documentation) using /airports/search/ip?q={ip}&radiusKm={radiusKm}&limit={limit} instead of /airports/search/ip/{ip}/km/{radiusKm}/{limit} (documentation) New endpoint added: Solar and day time at the airportGET /airports/{codeType}/{code}/time/solar/*It produces certain solar and daytime calculations …

Geolocating Nearby Airports by IP

Our new endpoint allows geolocating nearby airports by IP address. We already have an endpoint returning nearest airports by making use of the coordinates (latitude and longitude) as an input. The new endpoint complements this set. It geolocates the coordinates internally by using the IP address as an input, and returns airports, closest to that …

Airline Codes for Flight Endpoints

We now return ICAO and IATA airline codes as part of API responses from any flight endpoints, whether it is FIDS or flight status. Earlier, we only returned the name of the airline. The change will only apply to the flights, where the airline / operator could be correctly mapped. This is valid for the …

Introducing Historical Airport and Global Delays

We have significantly expanded the capabilities of our airport delays endpoint. This endpoint is designed to get a statistical insight of the “smoothness” of flight operations in this or that airport. Until recently, it only allowed you to trace this information in real-time only. We have now changed several things: [UPDATED] Airport delays endpoint now …

Aircraft Registration History

We support keeping aircraft registration history separately from a specific airframe. This includes the tail numbers and periods of registration. With AeroDataBox API it’s now possible to get an insight into historical aircraft registrations.

Introduction of Flight Alert PUSH API

We’re introducing a new big feature: Flight Alert PUSH API. It facilitates the delivery of flight data in a fundamentally different manner. Instead of polling flight status or FIDS endpoint again and again in order to get data updates, you can now subscribe to a certain flight or airport and get notified automatically whenever an …

Improved flight delay statistics, flight delay brackets and flight locations for FIDS

We have updated our “Flight delay statistics by flight number” endpoint. Earlier delay records of the same flight number were grouped by origins and destinations. This way you could separately see how much the flight is delayed in each airport it departs from or arrives at. From now on, groups are as well segregated by …

Flight take-off and landing time &Runway detection based on ADS-B data, More flights, and status updates

We are continuing to expand capabilities related to analyzing actual flight tracks with reliance on community-maintained ADS-B data provided by third-party. Attentive users could have already noticed that for some airports AeroDataBox API has started providing: Flight runway data, which we introduced as a response to requests of a few users to have some capabilities …
