By doing regular request to api:
http://api.aviationstack.com/v1/flights?access_key=

i get totally empty response:
{
"pagination": {
"limit": 100,
"offset": 0,
"count": 0,
"total": 0
},
"data": []
}

adding any optional parameters doesn't help.

I did a test query on this flight.

https://api.aviationstack.com/v1/flights?access_key=YOURKEY&flight_date=2020-02-04&flight_number=428&dep_icao=WSSS&arr_icao=WMKP

this was returned.

{"pagination":{"limit":100,"offset":0,"count":1,"total":1},"data":[{"flight_date":"2020-02-04","flight_status":"landed","departure":{"airport":"Singapore Changi","timezone":"Asia/Singapore","iata":"SIN","icao":"WSSS","terminal":"1","gate":"D35","delay":13,"scheduled":"2020-02-04T20:25:00+00:00","estimated":"2020-02-04T20:25:00+00:00","actual":"2020-02-04T20:38:00+00:00","estimated_runway":"2020-02-04T20:38:00+00:00","actual_runway":"2020-02-04T20:38:00+00:00"},"arrival":{"airport":"Penang International","timezone":"Asia/Kuala_Lumpur","iata":"PEN","icao":"WMKP","terminal":"I","gate":null,"baggage":null,"delay":null,"scheduled":"2020-02-04T21:50:00+00:00","estimated":"2020-02-04T21:50:00+00:00","actual":"2020-02-04T21:33:00+00:00","estimated_runway":"2020-02-04T21:33:00+00:00","actual_runway":"2020-02-04T21:33:00+00:00"},"airline":{"name":"Scoot","iata":"TR","icao":"TGW"},"flight":{"number":"428","iata":"TR428","icao":"TGW428","codeshared":null},"aircraft":{"registration":"9V-TAU","iata":"A320","icao":"A320","icao24":"76D035"},"live":null}]}

The actual timings here (2020-02-04T20:38:00+00:00 and 2020-02-04T21:33:00+00:00 appears to be in local time (GMT+8), not +0.

Why am i so sure? I was one of the pilot operating this flight.

Hi,

I am trying to pull in live data from the API for the flights but it keeps returning a null response in the live section of the json.

I am using the following command

https://api.aviationstack.com/v1/flights?access_key=*access_kay*&limit=10&offset=0

I am using a basic plan? I get the following response

{
"pagination": {

"count": 10,

}

If someone can give some insight into what is going wrong, I would be most grateful.

Hi,

I have using AviationStack API for several years, and starting from December, I cannot connect to it anymore, due to the following error when connecting to any API endpoint:

{"error":{"code":"Argument 1 passed to App\Legacy\SharedFunctions::mysql_fetch_array() must be an instance of PDOStatement, instance of Doctrine\DBAL\ForwardCompatibility\Result given, called in /opt/component/app/Legacy/AviationstackFunctions.php on line 2190","message":"Argument 1 passed to App\Legacy\SharedFunctions::mysql fetch array() must be an instance of PDOStatement, instance of Doctrine\DBAL\ForwardCompatibility\Result given, called in /opt/component/app/Legacy/AviationstackFunctions.php on line 2190"}}

Tried from API doc webpage, Postman, Java code, etc, so the problem is not on the client side.

How come there is no Bombardier or Gulfstream?

Real-Time Flights Available on: All plans so all the option sould work using a free plan key like the optional flight_date parameter

cf api documemention Real-Time Flights Available on: All plans
flight_date [Optional] Filter your results by providing a flight date in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Example: 2019-02-31

https://api.aviationstack.com/v1/flights
? access_key = XXXX

but if we provide the flight_date parameter we get the error :
"error": {
"code": "function_access_restricted",
"message": "Your current subscription plan does not support this API function."

Because the api end on Historical Flights Available point because the name for both are same '/v1/flights' and
Historical Flights is not free plan !

Historical Flights Available on: Basic Plan and higher

https://api.aviationstack.com/v1/flights
? access_key = XXXX
& flight_date = 2019-12-11

solution => change api enpoint for one off them or change the Real-Time Flights response to return only flight off the day ( not the case actualy seem to return also J-1 flight may be more

The total of 6471 airports doesn't seemt to be up to date:
IATA counted cca 9000 3 years ago, ICAO - 10K.

What is the data source? When was the last time it was updated?

Hello Aviation Stack team,

I am testing the API functionalities and I believe that the time RFC3339 (ISO8601) fields are always returning +00:00 even though the time shown is always local.
For example, running this query http://api.aviationstack.com/v1/flights?access_key=c13216e8c004047e54ea58de41784ba7&flight_iata=LX3047

Returns:
(...)
{"airport":"Heathrow","timezone":"Europe/London","iata":"LHR","icao":"EGLL","terminal":"2","gate":"B48","baggage":"8","delay":null,"scheduled":"2020-06-30T07:40:00+00:00","estimated":"2020-06-30T07:40:00+00:00","actual":"2020-06-30T07:33:00+00:00","estimated_runway":"2020-06-30T07:27:00+00:00","actual_runway":"2020-06-30T07:27:00+00:00"}
(...)

Nevertheless, this is local London time as shown in the image:

These fields should return:

"2020-06-30T07:40:00+01:00"

or:

"2020-06-30T06:40:00+00:00"

Thank you
Kind Regards,

I'm calling the flights endpoint with valid requests which worked previously but today the server response only with empty arrays.
I test with legit airports and even airplanes that are currently in the air and no data is returned from the server,also no error code just an empty array.
