✈️ OurAirports Global Airport Database Scraper

🚀 Export the global airport dataset in seconds. Filter 85,000+ airports, heliports, and airfields by country, type, bounding box, or scheduled service. No API key, no registration, no manual CSV wrangling.

The OurAirports Scraper exports the community-maintained global aviation catalog and returns 20 fields per record, including ICAO, IATA, GPS, and local codes, geographic coordinates, elevation, and commercial service status. The underlying dataset is one of the most widely cited open aviation references and has been maintained by a global network of pilots, data providers, and aviation professionals since 2007.

The catalog covers every continent, 247 ISO country codes, and seven airport classifications, from major international hubs down to rural private airfields. This Actor makes that data downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. All filters run on the server, so you skip the parser engineering entirely.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases

📋 What the OurAirports Scraper does

Five filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🌍 Worldwide export. Every airport, heliport, and airfield on the planet.
• 🏳️ Country filter. Restrict to one ISO code like US, GB, JP, DE, or BR, across 247 countries.
• 🛬 Type filter. Large, medium, or small airports, heliports, seaplane bases, balloonports, or closed fields.
• 📐 Bounding-box filter. Scope to a custom lat/lon region that can cross borders.
• 🛫 Scheduled-service filter. Airports with active scheduled passenger flights only.

Each record includes codes (ICAO, IATA, GPS, local), geography (lat, lon, elevation, continent, region, municipality), classification, and reference links such as the official home page, Wikipedia, and community keywords.

💡 Why it matters: accurate airport reference data powers flight booking, drone mapping, and logistics routing. Building your own pipeline means writing parsers, handling coordinate edge cases, and refreshing by hand. This Actor skips all of that and keeps your dataset fresh on every run.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: continent, elevationFt, gpsCode, homeLink, iataCode, icaoCode, id, ident, isoCountry, isoRegion, keywords, latitude, localCode, longitude, municipality, name, scheduledService, scrapedAt, type, wikipediaLink. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: records for large and medium airports are typically accurate within meters. Small airfields and recently added heliports depend on community contributors and can vary by tens to hundreds of meters. For safety-critical routing, cross-check against an official aeronautical information publication before making operational decisions.
