On Demand Flight Status

In test environment, the On Demand Flight Status API contains a snapshot of live data at a given time. Also it doesn't support real-time updates such as real-time delay status, gate updates, terminal information etc. Let's have a look at an example below for the flight IB532 with departure date 2020-11-24 and compare the test and production API responses.

The arrival's flight delay is not part of the response in test environment, but in production it is as below:

                    "arrival": {
                        "timings": [
                            {
                                "qualifier": "STA",
                                "value": "2020-11-24T13:00+01:00",
                                "delays": [
                                    {
                                        "duration": "PT-24M"
                                    }
                                ]
                            }
                        ]
                    }

Also, in test there is no information on the departure terminal, whereas in production it's returned:

                    "departure": {
                        "terminal": {
                            "code": "4"
                        },
                        "timings": [
                            {
                                "qualifier": "STD",
                                "value": "2020-11-24T11:40+01:00"
                            }
                        ]
                    }

Below you can find both API responses for test and production environment.
