Data API
The complete NavBite airport data set is generated by UpRock.ai as an insight stack, and is available as static JSON and CSV files — no authentication, no rate limits, no API keys. Fetch what you need directly from our servers. Please, be respectful of hot-linking and cache the files if you’re going to be referencing them often (the stack is updated about every 28 days).

What’s Not in the API
The API includes all aeronautical data, scores, restaurant listings, pilot briefings, and transport options for every airport we cover. However, two things are deliberately excluded: editorial content and images.
Our editorial dispatches are generated specifically for the NavBite reading experience and aren’t for redistribution. Hero images are sourced from third-party royalty free image sites, and we include the links in the pages, so visit those sites if you like them, or generate your own. If you want to read the editorials or see the photos, visit the airport pages directly — that’s what they’re for.
Scoring Reference
Every airport is rated on a 25-point scale across five categories (Grub, Scene, Ops, Access, Fuel) and assigned a tier: Trip, Detour, or Stop. For the full methodology, see the scoring page.
