Overview

SITA Flight Connection API service which provides users with the ability to find flight routings between airports.

The SITA Flight Connection API helps users find direct flights as well as connecting or transit flight to reach the final destination through one, two or more flights namely. For example, a connecting flight from Singapore to New York on Emirates Airlines would mean flying from Singapore to Dubai, or any major airline hub, where you would then disembark and board another plane for another flight from that city to New York.

2 Introduction

The SITA Flight Connection API service provides users with the ability to find flight routings between airports based on various user options such as airlines, via airports and min/max connection times amongst others.
Please refer to section 3.1.1 for request parameter details.

A user may

  • Search for flight connections for any combination of direct flights, 1 stop connections or 2+ stop connections.

  • Results can be filtered based on selected request parameters such as airlines, via airports, min/max connection times and dates/times amongst others.

  • Users api key permissions may also permit consideration of MCT (Minimum Connection Time) data and latest SITA Flight Status API data.

The SITA Flight Connection API uses a combination of three different levels of information to calculate the best results for a user.
Access to the various levels of information is based on the permissions associated with the users api key.
Please see the table below for processing scenarios.

2.1 Registration and API Sign Up

To access the APIs you will need a registration key, also known as an API key. These can be obtained by creating an account on https://www.developer.aero/ and registering your interest for access to the API.

2.2 Authentication

To access the APIs an OAuth access token must be supplied. To obtain an OAuth token a request must be sent to the https://sitaopen.api.aero/connection/oauth/token endpoint using the OAuth2 Client Credential flow, using your API key as the client_id, and your consumer secret as the client_secret.

Once an access token has been obtained, it can be placed in the Authorization HTTP header as a bearer token, for example:

Authorization: Bearer eyJ92dNw9dka...

2.3 Security

  • All incoming requests will be REST over HTTPS.

  • Users are authenticated using their API key.

  • Certain response payload elements may be filtered based on permissions associated with the x-apikey value used.

  • The API key used in the REST call will be included in the response headers returned to the end user.

2.4 Rate Limiting

All incoming requests are subject to a rate limiting restriction. The following headers are included in HTTP responses:

Header Description

X-RateLimit-Limit

The total number of requests allowed in the current time window

X-RateLimit-Remaining

The number of requests left for the current time window

X-RateLimit-Policy

The policy describing how many request per time window are allowed

X-RateLimit-Reset

The UTC timestamp at which the current rate limit window resets
