AirportsAPI

API

Retrieve airport name and website URL using ICAO codes

Overview

AirportsAPI is a RESTful transportation API that provides access to basic airport details—specifically name and official website URL—via ICAO code queries. Its core endpoint accepts an ICAO identifier (e.g., KJFK) and returns structured JSON responses with the requested metadata. Ideal for travel apps, logistics platforms, or aviation tools needing quick airport info, it eliminates manual data entry. The API is designed for simplicity, requiring minimal parameters to fetch results, making integration straightforward for developers. It supports standard HTTP methods and delivers lightweight responses for fast application performance.
