Using it with WP plugin WPGetAPI

Question

Can you explain to me (as if I'm 5 years old) how to use this with the WPGetAPI plugin?

I need a base URL and the endpoints.

I'd like to test displaying output in a WP blog.

For the test, I would like to display information about airports in the UK

TIA

Hi Ben!

In order to integrate the Flight Info API with the WPGetAPI plugin to display output in a WP blog you need to do the following steps:
- Signup to RapidAPI and request the API key. You can choose the Basic plan for testing purposes: https://rapidapi.com/oag-oag-default/api/flight-info-api/pricing
- Set the base url to https://flight-info-api.p.rapidapi.com/ The instructions are here: https://wpgetapi.com/docs/the-setup-page/
- Set the endpoint to  /schedules or /status (it depends if you would like to get schedules for the future flights or get actual flight status information, e.g. if the flight is on-time, delayed)
- Set the header to X-RapidAPI-Key:  (instructions here: https://wpgetapi.com/docs/connect-using-api-key-in-headers/). Enter the key from the first step.
- Set the header X-RapidAPI-Host': 'flight-info-api.p.rapidapi.com'
- Specify query string parameters (instructions here https://wpgetapi.com/docs/adding-query-string-parameters/). E.g. you need to specify ArrivalAirport or DepartureAirport parameters to get flights from/to specific airport. The parameter accepts IATA airport codes (E.g. LTN,LHR).

Hope this helps :)
