Aviation Edge Static Aviation APIs (please see the second table on the hyperlinked page) provide static data on various, aviation-related subjects that are airports, nearby airports, registered airplanes, airplane models, airlines, cities, countries, and aviation taxes. Each group is provided through its own API with their own filters available. A limit to the number of items returned can be set by using the "&limit=X" parameter with each API. This way, the API will return the first "X" items in the database as per the request.

You may find input parameters, output examples with explanations for each item, filter list, and more in the documentation.
