The aviation data API that predicts, not just reports.
Delay prediction, airport capacity, and operational analytics in one documented API. Built from redistributable federal sources and AeroFarr models, independently verified against federal and commercial references, and priced so you can start free today.
Prediction, not just status
Commodity flight APIs stop at what already happened. Every AeroFarr plan, including the free sandbox, includes calibrated per-flight delay prediction with uncertainty bands, causal drivers, and cascade risk.
Independently verified
Displayed values are continuously cross-checked against independent federal and commercial reference sources on a scheduled cadence. Verification is part of the pipeline, not a marketing exercise.
Operational depth
Traffic management initiatives, airport acceptance rates, surface movement, and capacity analytics derived from FAA SWIM data via SCDS. Not an official FAA data product.
Stable contracts
Versioned endpoints, documented schemas, and a published deprecation policy. Data buyers churn on surprise schema changes, so stability is treated as a product feature.
Four product families, one credit meter.
Prediction API
Per-flight delay and disruption forecasts with explanation, cascade propagation, and what-if analysis. Metered per call, available on every tier.
Quickstart
Analytics API
Query access to curated daily and hourly datasets: airport throughput and delay, airline on-time performance, route performance, capacity, traffic management, weather impact, taxi times, and emissions.
Dataset catalog below
Bulk exports and feeds
Date-range exports in analysis-ready columnar formats delivered through secure signed downloads, plus scheduled dataset subscriptions for teams that want files, not calls.
Included in Business and above
Operational analytics (SWIM)
The premium tier for operations teams: traffic management initiative history and effectiveness, metering events, surface analytics, and capacity intelligence derived from FAA SWIM data via SCDS. Not an official FAA data product.
Sold direct
Dataset catalog
Every dataset AeroFarr sells, read live from the platform catalog. The same catalog governs what your key can query, so this list can never drift from what you actually receive.
Start free. Scale on one credit meter.
Every figure below is read live from the platform and matches the limits enforced on every request. Annual plans include two months free. Credit packs top up any plan without changing tiers, and unused purchased credits never expire.
How credit metering works
Published per-endpoint costs
Every endpoint has a published credit cost, enforced exactly as documented. Most analytics reads cost a single credit; batch predictions and bulk exports cost more.
See the per-endpoint credit scheduleHard limits, explicit errors
At your monthly allowance the API returns an explicit limit response, never silently truncated data. Top up with a credit pack or move up a tier at any time.
Spend controls built in
Your dashboard tracks live usage per key and supports automatic top-ups, so production integrations never stall mid-month.

Buy direct today. Marketplace listings are on the way.
Direct purchase gives you an instant sandbox key, secure card checkout, annual pricing, and the newest endpoints first. API.market and RapidAPI listings mirror the same ladder for teams whose billing already lives there.
Enterprise and data contracts
Operations teams, insurers, and airlines buy under a direct data contract: custom scope, scheduled delivery, defined support response times, and procurement-friendly terms. Describe your use case at info@zorost.com and a scoped proposal usually follows within two business days.

Authenticate with your key in the X-API-Key header. The prediction endpoint below is included on every tier; analytics endpoints follow the same pattern with the dataset name in the path.

Teams that start with the API often adopt the platform around it. Everything below is included with platform accounts and available to evaluate the moment you sign up.
Command Center
A live national operations picture: every tracked flight, alerts for developing disruptions, capacity and weather context, and flight-level detail with predicted against actual outcomes.
Aviation Advisor
An expert aviation analyst you can question in plain language. It reads the same governed data products the API serves, cites its sources, and never invents a number.
Reports and briefings
Daily network briefings and exportable enterprise reports with the same verified figures, ready for distribution to stakeholders who will never open an API.
Scenario simulation
What-if analysis and recovery comparison tools that quantify how a schedule change, capacity action, or weather development propagates through a network.
Built to be checked.
Independent verification
Displayed values are cross-checked on a scheduled cadence against independent federal and commercial reference sources. When a value cannot be verified, it is labeled rather than shipped silently.
Data rights, stated plainly
Sold products contain only data AeroFarr has the right to redistribute: federal public sources, data derived from FAA SWIM via SCDS (not an official FAA data product), and AeroFarr model outputs. Lineage is documented per dataset.
Aircraft privacy
Aircraft enrolled in the FAA Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed program are suppressed across every customer-facing surface, and license terms flow the same obligation down to customers.
Service transparency
Live system health is published at api.aerofarr.com/status. Keys are scoped, rate limited, and revocable, and every request is metered and auditable.
Operational analytics are derived from FAA SWIM data via SCDS and are not an official FAA data product. AeroFarr data is not for safety-critical or sole-source operational use; see the terms of service and acceptable use policy.
Frequently asked questions.
How is AeroFarr different from flight status APIs?
Status APIs report what already happened. AeroFarr adds what happens next: calibrated delay predictions with uncertainty bands, cascade risk, airport capacity analytics, and traffic management intelligence. Every tier includes the predictive endpoints, which commodity status APIs do not offer at any price.
Where does the data come from?
Sold products are built exclusively from redistributable sources: United States federal aviation data, including data derived from FAA SWIM via SCDS (not an official FAA data product), public government statistics, weather observations, and AeroFarr model outputs. Source lineage is documented per dataset.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The sandbox tier is free, needs no card, and includes prediction calls and a monthly credit allowance. Sign up, issue a key, and make your first call in minutes.
How does billing work?
Plans include a monthly credit allowance; richer endpoints cost more credits. Going over your allowance never creates a surprise charge: calls return a quota response, and you can top up with a token pack or upgrade instantly. Annual plans include two months free.
Should I buy direct or through a marketplace?
Both work. Direct purchase gives you the newest endpoints, annual pricing, and plan flexibility. Marketplace listings are convenient if your billing already lives there. Plans mirror each other, and enterprise agreements are always direct.
Can I redistribute the data?
Model outputs you purchase, such as predictions and scores, can be embedded in your products under the commercial license terms. Redistribution rights vary by dataset and are stated in the data license. For bulk redistribution or white-label use, contact the team.
What about enterprise contracts and SLAs?
Enterprise plans include custom scope, a data contract, dedicated support response times, and scheduled delivery options. Reach the team and describe your use case; a scoped proposal usually follows within two business days.
How do you handle aircraft privacy?
Aircraft on the FAA Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) list are suppressed across every customer-facing surface, and the same obligation flows down to customers in the license terms.
Still deciding?
The sandbox tier is free and takes minutes to try. For anything else, write to info@zorost.com and a person who works on the data will answer.
