  note: >-
    Aviation Edge publishes an in-browser API console but no sandbox and no test credentials.
    There is one environment — production — and one kind of key: a paid subscription key.
    Nothing about this API can be exercised, by a human or an agent, before money changes hands.
console:
  name: Test the API key
  url: https://aviation-edge.com/get.php
  type: hosted-console
  auth: bring your own subscription key
  description: >-
    A first-party form that builds and issues a live call: pick one of 14 APIs (Flights
    Tracker, Flights Historical Timetable, Airport Timetable, List All Satellites, Satellite
    Details, Cities, Countries, Airports, Airlines, Airplanes, Aircrafts, Taxes, Nearby,
    Routes, Autocomplete), paste your API key, add optional parameters, and see the raw JSON.
  published_example_parameters:
  - flightIata=W8569
  - airlineIata=W8
  - depIata=MAD
  - arrIata=GIG
  - regNum=CGTCJ
  - aircraftIcao=B752
  - status=en-route
  - limit=2
  caveat: >-
    The page warns that loading too much data in one call may crash the browser — there is no
    server-side result cap other than the limit parameter.
test_environment:
  base_url: null
  note: No separate sandbox host or /test path exists; every call from the console goes to production.
test_credentials:
  available: false
  note: >-
    The free API key was withdrawn — https://aviation-edge.com/free-api-key/ states the
    feature was removed due to abuse, and the FAQ repeats that the free trial is disabled.
    The substitute is a discounted first month of a paid subscription ($7-$39 depending on
    tier, per the pricing page), after which the plan auto-renews at the full rate. Keys are
    emailed on signup and shown in the account dashboard.
