For Agents

Find the nearest commercial airports to a coordinate, ranked by traffic. Agents call /reference-data/locations/airports with lat/long to seed flight searches with the right origin.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Airport Nearest Relevant to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Airport Nearest Relevant, 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 Airport Nearest Relevant API.

Look up the nearest commercial airports to a latitude and longitude pair

Filter results to a configurable radius in kilometres around the coordinate

Rank nearby airports by analytics score so high-traffic hubs appear first

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Airport Nearest Relevant API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Geo-Aware Flight Search

When a user opens a travel app the device exposes GPS coordinates but not an airport code. The /reference-data/locations/airports endpoint converts those coordinates into the closest commercial airport with an IATA code, which can then seed the origin field of a flight search. Sorting by analytics score keeps the default to the busiest airport rather than a small regional one.

Call /reference-data/locations/airports with latitude=48.85, longitude=2.35 and return the IATA code of the highest-ranked airport.

Multi-Airport Fare Comparison

Frequent travellers compare fares across several airports near their home. By calling the lookup with a radius of 100 km the API returns every commercial airport in range so the front end can run parallel flight searches against each origin. This catches cheaper fares from secondary airports that a single-airport search would miss.

Get every airport within 100 km of latitude=51.51, longitude=-0.13 and run a fare comparison across all returned IATA codes.

Travel Manager Coordinate Mapping

Corporate travel platforms often store meeting venues by address, not by airport. Geocode the address, then call the lookup to get the nearest airport for use in the booking flow. The endpoint returns distance and time zone in the same response, which is enough to flag long ground transfers in an itinerary.

After geocoding the venue address, fetch the closest airport for those coordinates and warn the user if the distance exceeds 80 km.

Agent-Driven Geo Booking

An AI travel agent given 'book a flight from where I am' needs to translate the user's GPS into an airport before calling Flight Offers Search. Through Jentic the agent searches for 'nearest airport to coordinates', loads the schema, and executes the lookup. The IATA code from the top result then feeds directly into the next operation.

Use Jentic to find the airport-nearest-relevant operation, pass the device coordinates, and feed the resulting IATA code into a Flight Offers Search call.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Amadeus client credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Jentic obtains a short-lived bearer token at execution time so the raw secret never enters agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic for 'nearest airport to coordinates' and Jentic returns the /reference-data/locations/airports operation with its input schema — no need to read Amadeus reference docs first.

Time to first call

Direct Amadeus integration: half a day for OAuth wiring and ranking logic. Through Jentic: under fifteen minutes — search, load, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Airport Nearest Relevant API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Airport Nearest Relevant API use?

The API uses the Amadeus OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow. Exchange API key and secret for a bearer token at the Amadeus token endpoint and send it on /reference-data/locations/airports calls. Jentic stores the credentials in the encrypted vault and refreshes tokens automatically.

Can I limit the search to a specific radius?

Yes. The endpoint accepts a radius parameter in kilometres so you can return only airports within, for example, 100 km of the supplied coordinate. The default radius and maximum allowed value are documented in the Amadeus self-service portal.

What are the rate limits for the Airport Nearest Relevant API?

Rate limits are not declared in the OpenAPI spec and depend on the Amadeus contract tier. The lookup is read-only and cacheable, so cache responses keyed on coordinate and radius to stay well under the per-second cap for your account.

How do I find the nearest airport through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search Jentic for 'nearest airport to coordinates'. The /reference-data/locations/airports operation surfaces with its input schema; pass latitude, longitude, and radius and execute. The IATA code in the top result can flow straight into a Flight Offers Search.

Does the API return more than just the IATA code?

Yes. Each result includes the airport name, IATA code, distance from the supplied coordinate, time zone, and an analytics score that reflects passenger traffic, all in a single response.

Is the Airport Nearest Relevant API free?

Amadeus self-service APIs include a free test environment with quota limits and a paid production tier. Production access is contracted with Amadeus and pricing scales with transaction volume — check current rates in the developer portal.
