In this article, we will give you a checklist of the basics to go over when integrating Aviyair’s Future Airport Schedules API. If you are looking to display airport schedules based on a future date input, this API is just for you. We developed this API by taking into consideration what our peers in the travel and aviation industries would look for in a data source. Our background in the industry was a great help to determine the details included in the output as well as the structure of this JSON REST API. We are confident that you will find ease in this API, so keep on scrolling! (API key link below)

Decide How You Want to Implement the API
To successfully integrate the Future Airport Schedules API by Aviyair, it would probably be wise to decide how you’d like to set up your local development environment. First, see which server-side language to use for the integration. Luckily, this is a JSON REST API so its structure allows you to work with pretty much any language you want, like Python, PHP, Ruby, Swift, JavaScript, Go, etc.
Get Your Future Airport Schedules API Key
Needless to say, you will need an API key to access the future airport schedules data. Do this in 2 ways depending on the scale of your project:
1) Create a subscription below and get your API key to your email immediately, with Premium monthly API call limits. Choose the best plan for you based on how many API calls you will need per month. Keep in mind that you can cancel a subscription anytime before it renews every monh and there are no hidden fees in case you reach your limit. If this happens, you will simply receive an error about reaching the limit. Then, you can easily upgrade your plan to higher limits right away.
2) If you are on a tight budget or just would like to make a few calls to see what the data looks like, send us an email for a free test key. The test key we will send you will still give you access to the complete future airport schedules API but with a lower API call limit.
Available API Methods and Parameters
After getting your Future Airport Schedules API key, check out how you can filter the data. Do you want to display the whole schedule for a future date or, for example, flights of a certain airline only? Or perhaps an individual flight based on its number. There are many parameters you can use to filter the data. All routes use the GET method.
Route | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
https://data.aviyair.com/data/v1/futureschedule?key=APIKEY&airport_iata=CGK&type=departure&date=2024-02-17 | GET | Complete departure schedule of CGK on 2024-02-17 |
https://data.aviyair.com/data/v1/futureschedule?key=APIKEY&airport_iata=CGK&type=arrival&date=2024-02-17&airline_iata=QZ | GET | All flights of Indonesia AirAsia arriving at CGK on 2024-02-17 |
https://data.aviyair.com/data/v1/futureschedule?key=APIKEY&airport_iata=CGK&type=departure&date=2024-02-17&airline_iata=QZ&flight_number=265 | GET | Data on flight QZ265, scheduled to take off on 2024-02-17 from CGK |
If you prefer, you can use ICAO codes instead of IATA as these are supported, too. For example, “airport_icao=”, “airline_icao=”, etc., are available. Full list of parameters are in the documentation.
Keep in mind: Aviyair’s Future Airport Schedules data has GLOBAL coverage, meaning you can fetch all international airports worldwide.
Output Example and Data Object Descriptions
Let’s take a look at what the output looks like for the future airport schedules data. In addition to the example output, you will find below a table of the objects and their descriptions in more detail. See if the API includes all details you are looking for. For anything else that’s missing, our other APIs can be the answer, so send us an email before considering looking for another provider and splitting your data sources, as this would not be a very time and cost-friendly solution. You can access many APIs of Aviyair with the same API key, so that’s definitely a plus.
