Federal Aviation Administration

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the United States civil aviation authority, an operating administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation. It regulates and certificates aircraft, airmen, airports and air carriers, operates the National Airspace System and its air traffic control, and issues the aeronautical information the entire U.S. travel and aviation chain runs on — NOTAMs, TFRs, charts, the 28-day NASR subscription, aircraft registration and airport data. It sits upstream of commercial travel distribution rather than inside it — the FAA sells no inventory and is not a GDS, NDC or channel participant, but every airline, GDS, OTA, flight-planning app and drone service supplier in the United States consumes FAA data as a source of truth. Its API posture is genuinely mixed and honest reporting requires saying so. The Airport Status Web Service and the Aeronautic Product Release API are published under a Creative Commons Zero licence, answer unauthenticated over HTTPS, and ship real OpenAPI 3.0.1 documents through a public Gravitee developer portal at api.faa.gov. Alongside them the FAA runs a CKAN 2.11.4 catalog and two ArcGIS Open Data hubs with DCAT-US 1.1 feeds and bulk CSV/GeoJSON/KML export. But the NOTAM API, the Air Carrier Pilot Records Database API and SWIM are gated — client_id/client_secret headers, operator eligibility restricted by regulation, or an executed SWIM agreement — and LAANC drone authorization is reachable only through FAA-approved UAS Service Suppliers, never directly.

Federal Aviation Administration publishes 19 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Air Carrier API, Axhsubmitdiscrepancies API, Coded Instrument Flight Procedures (CIFP) API, and 16 more. Tagged areas include Travel, United States, Aviation, Airports, and Government.

The Federal Aviation Administration catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Federal Aviation Administration’s developer surface includes authentication, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, support, engineering blog, documentation, and 45 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.

    401 with the body {"message":"Unauthorized", "http_status_code":401} on 2026-07-28, while the bare external-api.faa.gov
    host returns 404, so the route exists behind credentials. Access is via a client_id and client_secret issued from the
    api.faa.gov developer portal. No public OpenAPI was published for this API in the portal's public catalog, so none was
    harvested — and the API does not appear in that catalog at all, so it has no published plan. Re-verified 401 on 2026-07-28.
    This surface sits on the legacy side of the FAA's NOTAM modernization; see the NOTAM Management Service (NMS) entry.
