For Agents

Look up real-time and scheduled flight information, find connecting flight options, and subscribe to status alerts for any commercial flight.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the OAG Flight Info API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the OAG Flight Info API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with OAG Flight Info API.

Look up real-time flight status and scheduled times for a specific carrier and flight number

Find viable connecting flight options between two airports for a given date

Create flight alerts that notify a webhook on status, gate, or time changes

Use Cases

Patterns agents use OAG Flight Info API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Real-time itinerary status for travel platforms

Keep traveller-facing apps in sync with airline operations by polling GET /flights for each leg of an itinerary or by subscribing to alerts that push updates when status or times change. The OAG Flight Info API exposes scheduled, estimated, and actual times alongside gate and equipment fields, which lets a travel platform display accurate disruption messages without screen-scraping carrier sites. Integration usually takes a couple of days end to end.

Call GET /flights for each leg of a 3-leg itinerary on the day of departure and surface any leg whose status is not 'On Time'

Connection planning for irregular operations

Recover passengers from a misconnect by calling GET /connections between an arrival airport and the original destination to retrieve viable onward flights. The endpoint accepts origin, destination, and time parameters so the agent can rank options by total elapsed time. Operations teams can wire this into chat tools to give agents an immediate set of rebooking candidates.

Call GET /connections from LHR to ATH for a passenger who misconnected at LHR and present the next three viable onward flights

Gate-to-gate alerting for ground operations

Keep ground handling and meet-and-greet teams aligned with operations by creating flight alerts that fire when status, gate, or times shift. POST /alerts subscribes a webhook for a specific flight, GET /alerts and GET /alerts/{alertId} let teams audit active subscriptions, and DELETE /alerts/{alertId} retires expired ones. The pattern reduces the number of standing polls operations teams need to run.

POST /alerts for tomorrow's BA178 with a webhook URL, then call GET /alerts to verify the subscription is active

AI agent integration via Jentic

A travel concierge agent searches Jentic for flight status, loads the GET /flights operation, and answers questions like 'is my passenger's BA flight on time and which gate?'. When a delay is detected the agent calls POST /alerts to subscribe a webhook so it can react to further changes. Jentic supplies validated schemas so the agent can call /flights, /connections, and /alerts without parsing the OAG documentation.

Use Jentic to search 'real-time flight status', load GET /flights, and execute it with carrier=BA flightNumber=178 for today's date

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

OAG subscription keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem) and added to the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header at execution time. The agent never sees the raw key in its prompt or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with intents like 'real-time flight status' or 'connecting flights' and Jentic returns the matching OAG operation with its parameter schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without reading the OAG docs.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 2-5 days for subscription onboarding, header wiring, alert webhook handling, and error retries. Through Jentic: under an hour to find the operation, load the schema, and execute the first call.

FAQs

Specific to using OAG Flight Info API through Jentic.

What authentication does the OAG Flight Info API use?

The API requires an Azure-style subscription key sent in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header on every call to /flights, /connections, and /alerts. Through Jentic the key is held in the vault (MAXsystem) and injected at execution time so it never appears in the agent's prompt context.

Can I track real-time flight status with the OAG Flight Info API?

Yes. GET /flights returns scheduled, estimated, and actual times along with status, gate, and equipment for a specific carrier flight number on a given date. For push updates rather than polling, POST /alerts subscribes a webhook for the same flight.

Can I find connecting flights between two airports with this API?

Yes. GET /connections accepts origin, destination, and time parameters and returns viable onward flights between the two airports. The response is suitable for rebooking flows during irregular operations.

What are the rate limits for the OAG Flight Info API?

The OpenAPI spec does not publish explicit rate limits. OAG controls limits per subscription tier; check your contracted plan or contact OAG support for figures. Through Jentic, the agent loop can pace calls to avoid bursts that exceed your plan.

How do I subscribe to flight alerts through Jentic?

Install the SDK with pip install jentic, search 'create a flight alert', load POST /alerts, and execute it with the carrier flight number, departure date, and webhook URL. To retire alerts the agent calls DELETE /alerts/{alertId} with the ID returned from the original POST.

How do I look up viable connections after a misconnect?

Call GET /connections with the new origin (the misconnect airport), the original destination, and the earliest acceptable departure time. Filter the response on total elapsed time or carrier preference, and present the top options to the operations agent.
