FlightFinder

Read-only JSON API over a merged aviation-safety corpus: 164,068 accident narratives aggregated from 130 official investigation authorities (NTSB, ATSB, AAIB, BEA, MAK and national agencies), deduplicated into one occurrence-level dataset, plus the FAA wildlife-strike, laser-incident and drone-sighting datasets and OurAirports reference data. Every record carries its source, attribution, licence and a deep link, and GET /sources returns the per-source licence and narrative policy. Keyless tier answers without an Authorization header at 100 requests/day/IP, and the same corpus is served to agents by an anonymous remote MCP server at https://himaxym.com/mcp with nine tools.

FlightFinder publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Aircraft API, Airports API, Drone Sightings API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Aviation, Aviation Safety, Accident Data, Open Data, and Public Domain.

FlightFinder’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 26 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-21 · rubric v0.22.0
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.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% 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. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/flightfinder: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
