      x-apievangelist-verified: '2026-07-28'
      x-apievangelist-access: >-
        Accreditation-gated, not self-serve. Access is restricted by the FAA to operators
        under 14 CFR Part 121, 135, 125, 91K, Air Tour, Public Aircraft or Part 91
        Corporate. Request access through https://api.faa.gov/s/.
      x-apievangelist-auth: >-
        client_id and client_secret are sent as REQUEST HEADERS declared as ordinary
        parameters — the spec declares no securitySchemes at all. This is an OAuth-shaped
        credential pair without the OAuth protocol.
      x-apievangelist-spec-gaps: >-
        No operationIds on any of the 8 operations; no response schemas beyond the literal
        string "success"; no 4xx/5xx responses declared. Anything an agent needs beyond
        the happy path is undocumented.

          DEPRECATED production URL, labelled as such by the FAA in the source spec. Do
          not build against it.

          returned {"error":{"code":"EGE-ER-OS-4004","message":"Domain not supported."}}.
