Do you also provide an API?

ch-aviation can provide the data feeds to you directly via file transfer protocol (FTP), safe file transfer protocol (SFTP) or a shared Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 bucket.

Which delivery formats you support?

The data is provided as Comma-separated values (.csv) flat files. Optionally we can provide them as Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) or XML (.xml)

How often does data get updated?

The ch-aviation database is updated in batches to ensure all data flows through ch-aviation’s semi-automated quality assurance process built to maximise data integrity. As a result, the data set remains relatively static in the ch-aviation production database, for most data sets for a week or month at a time. Therefore, the most efficient integration option is the transfer of flat files provided for integration into your own applications in various formats.

We can provide the sample files of any data sets you would like to test. Contact us directly to request your sample file. Data samples are also publicly available here: Console login link: https://ch-aviation.signin.aws.amazon.com/console S3 bucket location on console: https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/ch-aviation-demo-data Account ID: ch-aviation Username: DemoData Password: qJ9R*Fz1A1JK Access key ID: AKIAREJC5HDG7OINHRUX Secret access key: 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 More information about AWS S3 can be found here: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/getting-started/

Data Delivery Options - ch-aviation

Data Delivery Options

ch-aviation can provide the data feeds to you directly via a) file transfer protocol (FTP), b) safe file transfer protocol (SFTP) or c) a shared Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 bucket.

For access to our FTP/AWS sample data environments, please contact us at sales@ch-aviation.com

FTP/SFTP

We can either provide a ch-aviation FTP server folder, hosted by Swiss hosting provider Hostpoint (www.hostpoint.ch), or write to your FTP or SFTP server folder as preferred.

If you choose to transfer data via ch-aviation FTP, ahead of file delivery your ch-aviation Customer Success Manager will provide you with your Username, FTP Server URL and Password.

Otherwise, you will need to provide access credentials to ch-aviation yourself.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3

For Amazon Web Services S3 set-up, ch-aviation will need to know whether you require programmatic and/or manual access and what your organisation’s ARN (Amazon Resource Name) is, if it already exists. Otherwise ch-aviation will create a new ARN for you. Ahead of file delivery, ch-aviation will provide you with the Access Key ID, Secret Key, Bucket Name and Bucket ARN.
