Flight Filtering

Why Filter Fights?

When you have a large number of flights, you may find it necessary to filter the number or results returned in a single request.

This API request returns a stream of line-delimited JSON where each line of output is a single JSON object representing one flight. The flight object contains the properties of the flight as well as an array of the "Ad IDs" associated with that flight.

📘

Note

This endpoint does not return ad objects. By default, this endpoint returns all flights saved in an account, but you can use the query parameters to filter.

Filtering Behaviors

Use the StartDate and EndDate query parameters to filter flights by a range time periods. For example, ?beforeStartDate:2017-01-01&afterStartDate:2016-11-30 returns all flights with a StartDate between 2016-12-01 and 2016-12-31. ?afterStartDate:2016-11-30 returns all flights with a StartDate of 2016-12-01 or later.

You can also use StartDate and EndDate query parameters in combination, which will only return flights that fall within both those ranges.

Besides beforeEndDate and afterEndDate, you can also include the noEndDate=true query parameter. This will return any flights without an EndDate set in addition to any flights filtered by an EndDate range.

Important

You should URL encode special characters when filtering with the name and nameContains parameters.

API Syntax

When using the Flight Filtering API call, it is important to understand the syntax required to make the request. Because the Kevel API is a RESTful API, there is a specific request format that must be followed to ensure the endpoint can process the request. The format is:

Where:

  • GET - the type of API request being made.
  • https://api.kevel.co - the URL for the request.
  • v1 - the API version.
  • fast - the API endpoint being called.
  • flight - The value returned from the
