Overview

SITA Historical Flight Status API allows consumers to view flight update information for flights departed within the past 2 years

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are increasingly being used to improve airline and airport operations. This API is ideal for developers and data scientists who want to analyze patterns or behaviour of carriers, flights and routes. This information is sourced from various real-time systems and databases across the globe and is stored on SITA’s cloud to support any research or analysis.

Information includes arriving airport, departure airport, scheduled/actual time, airport Code, terminal, claim, gate, aircraft, marketingCarriers/operatingCarrier, airline, flightNumber, tailNumber.

This API answers the below questions:

  • What was the trend or behaviour of a specific flight for past 12 months?
  • Is there a pattern of flight delays between two airports?
  • Can help in analyzing the seasonality of flights.

2 Registration and API Sign Up

 

SITA Historical API is a REST based service which provides information about flights that have from the past.

To access the APIs you will need an API key. These can be obtained by creating an account on https://www.developer.aero/ and registering your interest for access to the API.

2.1 Authentication

To access the APIs an OAuth access token must be supplied. To obtain an OAuth token a request must be sent to the https://sitaopen.api.aero/historical/oauth/token endpoint using the OAuth2 Client Credential flow, using your API key as the client_id, and your consumer secret as the client_secret.

Once an access token has been obtained, it can be placed in the Authorization HTTP header as a bearer token, for example:

Authorization: Bearer eyJ92dNw9dka...

2.2 Security

  • All incoming requests will be REST over HTTPS.
  • Users are authenticated using their API key.
  • Certain response payload elements will be filtered based on permissions associated with their token.

2.3 Rate Limiting

All incoming requests are subject to a rate limiting restriction. The following headers are included in HTTP responses:

HeaderDescription

X-RateLimit-Limit

The total number of requests allowed in the current time window

X-RateLimit-Remaining

The number of requests left for the current time window

X-RateLimit-Policy

The policy describing how many request per time window are allowed

X-RateLimit-Reset

The UTC timestamp at which the current rate limit window resets

 

3 SITA Historical Flight Status API

 

The SITA Historical Flight Status API is a REST based service which provides information about flights around the world.

A user may

  • Search for the flight details based on a combination of airport, airline and flight number details
  • Search for flight updates created within a specific time window. These can be at a global level or filtered to an airport/airline/flight number level

3.1 Resources

This section describes each SITA Historical Flight Status API service.
Detailed API structure, example requests and responses, JSON schema for request (where appropriate) and responses, and error response codes and formats are included.

3.2 Flights V2

3.2.1 GET Get Flight by Airline and Flight Number

Retrieve a single flight according to airline and flight number showing both the departure and arrival flight details. Results are filtered by operation date (default is current UTC date).
Payload elements are filtered based on permissions associated with the 'X-apiKey' used in the request.

operationDate

In this scenario the operationDate is considered to be the local date on which the flight departed/arrived.

operationDate & searchByUTC

A user can force the operationDate value to be considered as UTC by providing the parameter 'searchByUTC=true'.

3.2.2 GET Get Flights by Airport, Airline and Direction

Retrieve all flights arriving to or departing from a specified airport for a given airline. Results are filtered by operation date (default is current UTC date).
Payload elements are filtered based on permissions associated with the 'X-apiKey' used in the request.

operationDate

If the operation date is not provided the search is based on the current UTC date/time. The search window will be current UTC date/time → current UTC date/time + 4 hours (futureWindow default value).
The user can adjust the search window by providing values for the pastWindow/futureWindow in their request.

If the operation date is provided the search window will be operationDate (00:00:00) → operationDate + 4 hours (futureWindow default value) e.g. 2021-01-12 00:00:00 → 2021-01-12 04:00:00.

In this scenario the operationDate is considered to be the local date on which the flight departed/arrived.
The user can adjust the search window by providing values for the pastWindow/futureWindow in their request.

operationDate & searchByUTC

A user can force the operationDate value to be considered as UTC by providing the parameter 'searchByUTC=true'. By doing so the user has the ability to search for flights in the past/future based on UTC date/time.

3.2.3 GET Get Flights by Airport and Direction

Retrieve all flights arriving to or departing from a specific airport. Results are filtered by operation date (default is current UTC date).
Payload elements are filtered based on permissions associated with the 'X-apiKey' used in the request.

operationDate

If the operation date is not provided the search is based on the current UTC date/time. The search window will be current UTC date/time → current UTC date/time + 4 hours (futureWindow default value).
The user can adjust the search window by providing values for the pastWindow/futureWindow in their request.

If the operation date is provided the search window will be operationDate (00:00:00) → operationDate + 4 hours (futureWindow default value) e.g. 2021-01-12 00:00:00 → 2021-01-12 04:00:00.

In this scenario the operationDate is considered to be the local date on which the flight departed/arrived.
The user can adjust the search window by providing values for the pastWindow/futureWindow in their request.

operationDate & searchByUTC

A user can force the operationDate value to be considered as UTC by providing the parameter 'searchByUTC=true'. By doing so the user has the ability to search for flights in the past/future based on UTC date/time.

5 Notes

 

5.1 'view' parameter

'view' parameter

The 'view' query parameter can have the value 'local' or 'full' (default value is 'local').
The purpose of this parameter is to enable the user to decide if they wish to see just the 'local' view of the flight (e.g only the
departure details if 'direction' parameter provided was 'D') or the 'full' view which will return both departure and arrival details for the flight(s) if 'direction' parameter provided was 'D'.

See 'Appendix E - Flights Response Examples' for sample 'local' and 'full' response
payloads.
