This is a social media bot that will post delay information for airports in the United States.
You can find it on the following social networks:
- Mastodon - @AirportStatusBot@mastodon.social
- Bluesky - @AirportStatusBot@bsky.social
- nostr - npub1nzrhjlgxxuh602nej5pj3cr4gfm7uaywlg3zygzvwyavq0c6t2qs5c36v5
- All times posted by this bot are in local time for the airport (unless otherwise noted).
- We get our data from a few sources:
- Real time delay information from the FAA's Airport Status API (https://nasstatus.faa.gov/api/airport-status-information).
- Airport name and location information from OurAirports (https://github.com/davidmegginson/ourairports-data)
- Map data/imagery from OpenStreetMap
- Radar imagery from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet of Iowa State University (https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/GIS/ridge.phtml)
- Data provided under Public Domain (https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/disclaimer.php)
- A lot of the terminology used in the API is referenced in the FAA Glossary.
- Data is refreshed every minute from the FAA API. This means that the bot will post a new status with 60 seconds of the FAA reporting a delay.
