Single airport request - installation

This request is useful for retrieving all of the data about a single airport. The only parameter necessary is the iata code of the airport. No jQuery or other frameworks are required to use our Air-port-codes library.

The basics

Here are the necessary parts to getting things working. First load our apc library that you downloaded earlier. Then initialize the api library, letting it know what api you want to access ('single' or 'single'). Initialize the apc object with your api key and any other necessary parameters. Setup your callbacks (onSuccess, onError). After that, you are ready to make your request with your search parameter.

<script src="air-port-codes-api-min.js"></script>
<script>
// initialize the apc library
var apcs = new apc('single', {key : 'xxxxxxxxxx'});

// handle successful response
apcs.onSuccess = function (data) {
    console.log(data);
};

// handle response error
apcs.onError = function (data) {
    console.log(data.message);
};

// makes the request to get the airport data
apcs.request('jfk');
</script>

If you use our PHP library, included in the download above, then it will be very easy to get a response back the Air-port-codes API. All of the curl functionality will be handled for you.

You start by including the apc class.

require_once('air-port-codes-api.php');

Next you create an array of parameters that will be used in your request to the API. Then pass in the parameters when you instantiate the apc class.

// Setup request parameters to override the configparams set in apc class
$params = [
    'key' => 'xxxxxxxxxx', // this is required and can be found in your Air-port-codes account.
    // 'secret' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' // the secret key, necessary for requests that don't provide a referrer
];

// 'multi' or 'single' type of request
$apc = new apc('single', $params);

The final step is simply making the request. Just pass in the search term and your curl request will be automatically made to the Air-port-codes API.

$apcResponseObj = $apc->request('jfk');

You can now display the results however you want. The returned object will be a json decoded object.

<pre>
<?= print_r($apcResponseObj); ?>
