GET
Flight Lookup
The Flight Lookup API combines schedule data, near real-time tracking, and aircraft details for a single scheduled & live flight. It’s ideal for flight detail screens: status changes, times, gates, terminals, and aircraft information in one response.
This endpoint returns the closest matching flight (live, scheduled, or landed). If you need all occurrences of a flight number across a day, use the Flight Schedules API and query by flight_iata or flight_icao.
