Rockwell Collins was a major American company providing avionics and information technology systems and services to government agencies and aircraft manufacturers. In 2018, Rockwell Collins was acquired by United Technologies and became part of Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon Technologies). Collins Aerospace provides flight deck systems, cabin electronics, mission systems, communications, and advanced data services including FlightAware AeroAPI for aviation data. The Collins Digital Exchange offers API products for aerospace and defense integration.
Rockwell Collins publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including airports API, alerts API, flights API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Avionics, Aerospace, Defense, Aviation, and Flight Deck.
The Rockwell Collins catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Rockwell Collins’ developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, support, and 17 more developer resources.
Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we
read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries
10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually
publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the
provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers.
This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from
the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn.
If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your
provider repo and we
will drop the facet rather than have you publish against 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 80 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
20. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 80% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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.'

description: 'Foresight endpoints provide access to FlightAware''s Foresight predictive models and
predictions for key events. Our advanced machine learning (ML) models identify key
influencing factors for a flight to forecast future events in real-time, providing
unprecedented insight to improve operational efficiencies and facilitate better
decision-making in the air and on the ground. To learn more about the power of Foresight,
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.
Contact integrationsales@flightaware.com for more information, pricing details, and to have
your account enabled for Foresight.'
