Flight Data API Targets Builders of Air Travel Products

Air travel is a rich source of startup inspiration, given its scale and countless pain points. But product ideas in this space usually require solid data, and getting that data often means relying on a dependable API. aviationstack aims to fill that role for developers building flight-related tools.

The API provides real-time flight information and returns JSON responses that developers can integrate into their own applications. For example, a jQuery snippet can query live flights, and the service returns structured flight data in response.

aviationstack offers a free tier with up to 500 requests, allowing developers to test the service before subscribing to a paid plan. Users can scale up their request limits at any time as their project grows.

The API is built by apilayer, a company that specializes in creating focused APIs for a variety of developer needs.
