  name: Rockwell Collins alerts API
  description: 'AeroAPI alerting can be used to configure and receive real-time alerts on key flight

    events. With customizable alerting offered by our alert endpoints, AeroAPI empowers

    users to selectively pick various types of events/filters to alert on. By doing so,

    you can receive specially tailored alerts delivered to you for events such as flight plan

    filed, flight departure (out and off), flight arrival (on and in), and more!


    To get started with alerting, the **PUT /alerts/endpoint** endpoint must first be used

    to set up the account-wide default URL that alerts will be delivered to. This step must

    be done before any alerts can be configured and will serve as the fallback URL that all

    alerts will be sent to for the account if a specific delivery URL is not designated on a

    particular alert. If this is not performed before configuring alerts, then you will

    receive a 400 error with an error message reminding you of this step when trying to interact

    with the **POST /alerts** endpoint. Once a URL is set via the **PUT /alerts/endpoint** endpoint,

    then alerts can be configured using the **POST /alerts** endpoint. The **GET /alerts** endpoint

    can also be used to retrieve all currently configured alerts associated with your AeroAPI key.

    The **GET /alerts** endpoint will allow you to easily retrieve the id of any specific alerts of

    interest configured for the account which can let you use the **GET** **PUT** and **DELETE**

    **/alerts/{id}** endpoints to retrieve, update, and delete specific alerts.


    When configuring an individual alert, the *target_url* field can be set to a URL that’s

    different than the account-wide target endpoint set via the **PUT /alerts/endpoint**. If

    the *target_url* field is set on an alert, then that specific alert will be delivered to

    the specified *target_url* rather than the default account-wide one. If this field is not

    configured for the alert, then the alert will be delivered to the default account-wide endpoint.

    By setting this field, one can easily target different alerts to be received by different endpoints

    which can be useful for configuring per-application alerts or sending alerts to an alternate

    development environment without having to adjust a production alert configuration.


    For each alert configured, one-to-many ‘events’ can be set for alert delivery. While most

    events will result in one alert delivery, both the *arrival* and the *departure* events can

    result in multiple alerts delivered (referred to as bundled). The *departure* event bundles the

    departure (actual OFF the ground) alert, along with the flight plan filed alert and up to 5

    per-departure changes which can include alerts for significant departure delays of over

    30 minutes, gate changes, and airport delays. FlightAware Global customers will

    also receive *Power on* and *Ready to taxi* alerts as part of the departure bundle. The *arrival* event

    bundles the arrival (actual ON the ground) alert, along with up to 5 en-route changes (including delays

    of over 30 minutes and excluding diversions) identified. FlightAware Global customers will also receive

    *taxi stop* times as part of the *arrival* bundle. Setting a bundled type and unbundled type for an

    On/Off will only result in a single alert in the case where events may overlap.


    If there is a need to change the alert configurations, updating an alert using the **PUT /alerts/{id}**

    endpoint and a unique alert identifier (id) is preferred rather than creating an additional alert.

    By doing so, you can avoid duplicate alerts being delivered which could create unnecessary noise

    if they are not of interest anymore.


    If at any point there is a need to delete an alert, the **DELETE alerts/{id}** endpoint can be

    leveraged to delete an alert so that it won’t be delivered anymore. As a reminder, specific alert

    IDs can be retrieved from the **GET /alerts** endpoint.'

    visit https://www.flightaware.com/commercial/foresight/


    These endpoints each mirror a non-Foresight equivalent endpoint of similar functionality,

    with the addition of all the ML ''predicted'' values included in the Foresight response. The

    respective non-Foresight endpoint response includes a flag, ''foresight_predictions_available'',

    which can optionally be used as a trigger to obtain and leverage Foresight predictions on an

    as-needed basis and manage cost. Foresight is only available to Premium tier customers.
