Users can obtain current or historical data. AeroAPI is a RESTful API delivering accurate and actionable aviation data. With the introduction of Foresight™, customers have access to the data that powers over half of the predictive airline ETAs in the US. ## Categories AeroAPI is divided into several categories to make things easier to discover. - Flights: Summary information, planned routes, positions and more - Foresight: Flight positions enhanced with FlightAware Foresight™ - Airports: Airport information and FIDS style resources - Operators: Operator information and fleet activity resources - Alerts: Configure flight alerts and delivery destinations - History: Historical flight access for various endpoints - Miscellaneous: Flight disruption, future schedule information, and aircraft owner information ## Development Tools AeroAPI is defined using the OpenAPI Spec 3.0, which means it can be easily imported into tools like Postman. To get started try importing the API specification using [Postman's instructions](https://learning.postman.com/docs/integrations/available-integrations/working-with-openAPI/). Once imported as a collection only the "Value" field under the collection's Authorization tab needs to be populated and saved before making calls. The AeroAPI OpenAPI specification is located at:\\ Our [open source AeroApps project](/aeroapi/portal/resources) provides a small collection of services and sample applications to help you get started. The Flight Information Display System (FIDS) AeroApp is an example of a multi-tier application using multiple languages and Docker containers. It demonstrates connectivity, data caching, flight presentation, and leveraging flight maps. The Alerts AeroApp demonstrates the use of AeroAPI to set, edit, and receive alerts in a sample application with a Dockerized Python backend and a React frontend. Our AeroAPI push notification [testing interface](/commercial/aeroapi/send.rvt) provides a quick and easy way to test the delivery of customized alerts via AeroAPI push. ===================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== [](#introduction-aeroapi-is-a-simple-query-based-api-that-gives-software-developers-access-to-a-variety-of-flightawares-flight-data-users-can-obtain-current-or-historical-data-aeroapi-is-a-restful-api-delivering-accurate-and-actionable-aviation-data-with-the-introduction-of-foresight-customers-have-access-to-the-data-that-powers-over-half-of-the-predictive-airline-etas-in-the-us--categories-aeroapi-is-divided-into-several-categories-to-make-things-easier-to-discover---flights-summary-information-planned-routes-positions-and-more---foresight-flight-positions-enhanced-with-flightaware-foresight---airports-airport-information-and-fids-style-resources---operators-operator-information-and-fleet-activity-resources---alerts-configure-flight-alerts-and-delivery-destinations---history-historical-flight-access-for-various-endpoints---miscellaneous-flight-disruption-future-schedule-information-and-aircraft-owner-information--development-tools-aeroapi-is-defined-using-the-openapi-spec-30-which-means-it-can-be-easily-imported-into-tools-like-postman-to-get-started-try-importing-the-api-specification-using-postmans-instructions-once-imported-as-a-collection-only-the-value-field-under-the-collections-authorization-tab-needs-to-be-populated-and-saved-before-making-calls-the-aeroapi-openapi-specification-is-located-at-httpsflightawarecomcommercialaeroapiresourcesaeroapi-openapiyml--our-open-source-aeroapps-project-provides-a-small-collection-of-services-and-sample-applications-to-help-you-get-started-the-flight-information-display-system-fids-aeroapp-is-an-example-of-a-multi-tier-application-using-multiple-languages-and-docker-containers-it-demonstrates-connectivity-data-caching-flight-presentation-and-leveraging-flight-maps-the-alerts-aeroapp-demonstrates-the-use-of-aeroapi-to-set-edit-and-receive-alerts-in-a-sample-application-with-a-dockerized-python-backend-and-a-react-frontend-our-aeroapi-push-notification-testing-interface-provides-a-quick-and-easy-way-to-test-the-delivery-of-customized-alerts-via-aeroapi-push) -
