Endpoints

GET/v1/flights/airportsA page, with every filter, sort, search, field and expand option.

POST/v1/flights/airportsCreate one: 201 with the record, its id, a Location header and the session token that keeps it; 422 names each field that is wrong.

GET/v1/flights/airports/{id}One record, with an ETag; If-None-Match earns a 304.

PATCH/v1/flights/airports/{id}Change the fields you send.

PUT/v1/flights/airports/{id}Replace the record; required fields must all be there.

DELETE/v1/flights/airports/{id}Answers 200 with what was removed (a real server’s 204 lives at /v1/utils/status/204); gone for the session.

GraphQL

The same airports as the airports query on https://api.sondahub.com/v1/flights/graphql, and one airport as airport(id: 1). Introspection is on. More on the GraphQL API.

{
  airports(limit: 3, sort: "-id") {
    total
    data {
      id iata name city
    }
  }
}

Run it

curl https://api.sondahub.com/v1/flights/graphql -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query": "{ airports(limit: 3, sort: \"-id\") { total data { id iata name city } } }"}'

From an AI agent (MCP)

The MCP server reaches the same rows with list_records, get_record, create_record, update_record and delete_record, and as the resource sondahub://flights/airports.
