Airport Distance is a simple tool for getting the distance between two airports. It returns the distance between the two airports.
The Airport Distance API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate airport distance functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready airport distance capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callAirportDistanceAPI() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
iata1: 'JFK',
iata2: 'LAX'
});
const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/airportdistance?${params}`, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callAirportDistanceAPI();Using cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/airportdistance?iata1=JFK&iata2=LAX" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"Get your API key: https://apiverve.com
