Structured API Access
Aviation Data API Platform
RESTful APIs delivering real-time and historical aviation data — safety metrics, flight objects, capacity forecasts, and operational analytics.
The data and analytics behind the Cignus solutions are available as APIs. Structured API Access delivers real-time and historical aviation data — safety metrics, flight objects, capacity forecasts, and operational analytics — to your own systems.
Every endpoint is documented, versioned, and scoped by role at the API layer.
Capabilities
Aviation data, programmatically
Safety metrics
Safety margin and event metrics from the Cignus safety analytics.
Flight objects
Normalized flight records joined across sources.
Capacity forecasts
Airport and airspace capacity and constraint forecasts.
Operational analytics
Delay, throughput, and performance analytics.
Developer platform
Documentation, keys, and usage visibility for developers.
Architecture
How it works
1 · Request
Your application calls a documented REST endpoint with its credentials.
2 · Authorize
Helios API interceptors check the caller’s role and scope for that endpoint and data.
3 · Respond
Structured JSON from the Helios data platform, real-time or historic.

FAQ
Common questions
Which endpoints can I use?
Access is granted per endpoint and scope according to your role; request access and we will match it to your use case.
How is access controlled?
By role, at the API layer. Every request to Helios passes through interceptors that check the caller’s role and scope before any data is returned, so the same rules apply whether the request comes from the application, an API client, or an integration. Nothing is governed inside the application itself.
