Get flights for an ident — a flight designator (e.g. UAL123, AAL100), aircraft registration (e.g. N12345), or fa_flight_id. Returns recent, current, and scheduled flights for that ident.

Search airborne flights using AeroAPI's simplified query syntax — a single string of "-key value" pairs. Keys: -prefix -type -idents -identOrReg -airline -destination -origin -originOrDestination -aboveAltitude -belowAltitude -aboveGroundspeed -belowGroundspeed -latlong "MINLAT MINLON MAXLAT MAXLON" -filter {ga|airline}. Example: -airline UAL -belowAltitude 30000

Search flights using AeroAPI's full Boolean query language (more expressive than fa_search_flights). The query is a parenthesized expression of field predicates, e.g. {= origin KORD} {> alt 30000}.

Get the position track (breadcrumb log) for a specific flight by fa_flight_id.

Get the most recent reported position for an in-air flight by fa_flight_id.

Get the decoded route (fixes/waypoints) for a specific flight by fa_flight_id.

Get a rendered map image (PNG) of a flight by fa_flight_id. Writes the PNG to disk (default: $AEROAPI_OUTPUT_DIR or cwd) and returns the path, or returns it inline as base64 when inline:true.

Get historical flights for an ident (designator, registration, or fa_flight_id) beyond the recent window covered by fa_get_flights.

Get details for an airport by code (ICAO like KJFK, IATA like JFK, or LID).

Get a flight board for an airport: all flights, or just arrivals/departures/scheduled_arrivals/scheduled_departures.

List airports known to AeroAPI (paged). Use the cursor to page through.

Find airports near a latitude/longitude within a radius (statute miles).

Get current airport delays — all delayed airports, or just one when id is given.

Get weather for an airport: current METAR observations, or the TAF forecast.

Get details for an operator (airline) by code (ICAO like UAL, or IATA like UA).

Get a flight board for an operator (airline): all flights, or arrivals/departures/enroute/scheduled.

List operators (airlines) known to AeroAPI (paged). Use the cursor to page through.

Get the registered owner of an aircraft by tail number / registration (e.g. N12345).

Get airline-scheduled flights between two dates (YYYY-MM-DD), optionally filtered by origin, destination, airline, or flight number.

Predictive flight search via AeroAPI Foresight (Boolean query language, like fa_search_flights_advanced, but predicted data). NOTE: Foresight is a premium tier — expect a 402/403 unless your subscription includes it.

List the flight alerts configured on your AeroAPI account.

Get a single configured flight alert by its id.

Create a flight alert on your AeroAPI account. Without confirm:true this returns a dry-run preview of the request and makes NO network call; with confirm:true it creates the alert.

Update an existing flight alert (replaces its configuration). Without confirm:true this returns a dry-run preview and makes NO network call; with confirm:true it applies the update.

Delete a flight alert by id. Without confirm:true this returns a dry-run preview and makes NO network call; with confirm:true it deletes the alert.

Get the current delivery (webhook) endpoint configured for your AeroAPI alerts.

Set the delivery (webhook) endpoint AeroAPI POSTs alert notifications to. Without confirm:true this returns a dry-run preview and makes NO network call; with confirm:true it applies the change.
