Code Samples for the Notamify API

Integrating the Notamify API into your aviation software stack is straightforward, thanks to our ready-to-use code snippets. Below, we’ll walk through Python and JavaScript examples demonstrating how to fetch and interpret NOTAMs, as well as generate role-specific briefings.

---

1. Fetching NOTAMs with /api/get-notams

Python Example

import requests

api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
url = 'https://api.notamify.com/api/get-notams'

params = {
    'locations': 'KJFK,KLAX',
    'start_date': '2025-01-13',
    'end_date': '2025-01-14'
}

headers = {
    'X-API-Key': api_key
}

try:
    response = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers)
    response.raise_for_status()
    notams = response.json()
    print(f"Retrieved {len(notams)} NOTAMs")

    # Process or store the NOTAM data as needed
    # for notam in notams:
    #     print(notam)

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Error fetching NOTAMs: {e}")

1. API Key: Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual Notamify API key.

2. Parameters: In this example, we’re requesting NOTAMs for two airports (KJFK and KLAX) over a specified date range.

3. Error Handling: We catch exceptions to handle network issues or invalid requests gracefully.

Javascript Example

// Note: Requires Node.js environment with 'node-fetch' or a similar library installed
import fetch from 'node-fetch';

const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const url = 'https://api.notamify.com/api/get-notams';

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  locations: 'KJFK,KLAX',
  start_date: '2025-01-13',
  end_date: '2025-01-14'
});

const getNOTAMs = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`${url}?${params}`, {
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': apiKey
      }
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }

    const notams = await response.json();
    console.log(`Retrieved ${notams.length} NOTAMs`);

    // Further processing of NOTAM data can be added here
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching NOTAMs:', error);
  }
};

getNOTAMs();

2. Generating Briefings with /api/get-briefing

Python Example

import requests

api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
url = 'https://api.notamify.com/api/get-briefing'

params = {
    'locations': 'KJFK,KLAX',
    'start_date': '2025-01-13',
    'end_date': '2025-01-14',
    'role': 'pilot',
    'detailed_briefing': True,
    'markdown': True
}

headers = {
    'X-API-Key': api_key
}

try:
    response = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers)
    response.raise_for_status()
    briefing = response.text
    print("Briefing received successfully")
    
    # Example usage
    # print(briefing)

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Error fetching briefing: {e}")

Javascript Example

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const url = 'https://api.notamify.com/api/get-briefing';

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  locations: 'KJFK,KLAX',
  start_date: '2025-01-13',
  end_date: '2025-01-14',
  role: 'pilot',
  detailed_briefing: true,
  markdown: true
});

const getBriefing = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`${url}?${params}`, {
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': apiKey
      }
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }

    const briefing = await response.text();
    console.log('Briefing received successfully');
    // console.log(briefing); // Uncomment to print the briefing

  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching briefing:', error);
  }
};

getBriefing();

Key Points:

1. Role-Specific: The role parameter tailors the briefing for pilots, controllers, or dispatchers.

2. Detailed vs. Condensed: Set detailed_briefing to False if you want a shorter summary.

3. Markdown: Optionally receive content in Markdown format for easy rendering in various applications.
