This is a JSON database of airports which contains about 56k airports with their runways, communication frequencies, 

navaids, countries, and regions information. The database is not 100% accurate because can have older data, so do not use it for a real flight or very sensitive applications. 

But it works well to get basic information about the airport.

How to use it? 🤔


> John F Kennedy International Airport [KJFK](https://github.com/epranka/airports-db/blob/master/icao/KJFK.json)

The main idea of this repository is to get the `JSON` data about the airport by using its ICAO code. 

Every airport has its own JSON file placed in [icao](https://github.com/epranka/airports-db/tree/master/icao) directory.

So, to get the information about the airport use the following url: 

`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/epranka/airports-db/master/icao/.json`

> ICAO code must be in uppercase

For example

```bash

  $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/epranka/airports-db/master/icao/KJFK.json

```

If airport is not found, the 404 status code is returned.

Have ideas on how to improve it? Feel free to share it on the [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/epranka/airports-db/issues).
