List all codes

Two index endpoints return every code so you can enumerate or build a local cache:

curl https://flycodes.net/api/airports.json
curl https://flycodes.net/api/airlines.json

Use it from JavaScript

const res = await fetch(
  "https://flycodes.net/api/airport/LHR.json"
);
const airport = await res.json();
console.log(airport.name); // London Heathrow Airport

Notes and fair use

• Codes are uppercase. Requesting a missing code returns 404.
• Four codes clash with Windows reserved filenames, so their endpoints take a trailing underscore: /api/airport/AUX_.json (also CON, NUL, PRN). Every other code uses the plain form.
• Files are static and cached at the edge, so they are fast and safe to call at scale.
• CORS is enabled (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *), so you can fetch these endpoints straight from a browser app on any domain, no proxy needed.
• The data comes from open sources listed on the data page. Please credit FlyCodes and the original sources.
• No authentication is required and none is accepted.
