airportsapi API
Overview
The airportsapi lets you look up airport names and official website URLs by providing an ICAO code. It is a lightweight, no-authentication API that is perfect for adding airport information to travel apps or flight trackers. Responses are simple JSON objects that even beginners can parse in a few lines of code.
Beginner Tip
ICAO codes are four-letter codes such as EGLL for Heathrow or KLAX for Los Angeles. If you only have an IATA code like LHR, you will need to convert it first as this API uses ICAO codes exclusively.
