Global, real-time flight status updates are delayed by as little as 30-60 seconds. A real-time data integration with one of the most sophisticated aviation data vendors on the market enables this low delay and high frequency of data updates.

The Real-Time endpoint returns comprehensive flight data, including flight numbers, statuses, departure and arrival airports, aircraft details, geographic coordinates, altitude, speed, and direction. This allows users to track flights accurately and in real-time.

Key fields in the response include `flight_number`, `status`, `dep_iata`, `arr_iata`, `lat`, `lng`, `alt`, and `speed`. These fields provide essential information for tracking and analyzing flight movements.

The response data is structured in a JSON format, with a main object containing a `success` boolean and a `data` array. Each entry in the array represents a flight, encapsulating all relevant details in key-value pairs for easy access.

The Real-Time endpoint provides information on flight statuses, geographic locations, altitudes, speeds, and aircraft details. This data is crucial for monitoring ongoing flights and understanding their current operational status.

Users can customize their requests by specifying parameters such as flight numbers, departure or arrival airports, and date ranges. This flexibility allows for targeted queries to retrieve specific flight information.

Users can leverage the returned data for real-time flight tracking, updating travel itineraries, and analyzing flight patterns. For example, by monitoring `status` changes, users can provide timely updates on delays or cancellations.

Data accuracy is maintained through continuous updates from trusted aviation sources and regular quality checks. The API's infrastructure is designed to handle high traffic, ensuring that users receive the most current and precise flight information.

General FAQs

To obtain your API key, first sign in to your account and navigate to the API you want to use. From the API's Pricing section, choose a plan and complete the subscription process. Once subscribed, return to the API page and you will see your API Access Key displayed at the top of the documentation page. You can use this key to authenticate your requests.

You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.

The free trial lasts for 7 days and allows you to make up to 50 API requests.

No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the 'X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining' field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

You can monitor your API usage through the response headers included with every request:

x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-used: Shows the total number of API requests you have used during the current billing period.
x-zyla-api-calls-monthly-remaining: Shows the number of API requests you have remaining for the current billing period.

The 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset' header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. Simply go to the Pricing section of the API you're subscribed to and click the "Unsubscribe" button.
