What the data contains

Captures airport-level identifiers, current configuration and program identifiers from the FAA dashboard JSON endpoint. The feed is undocumented and may change. It is not a complete airport directory, and an omitted airport does not establish normal operations. Free-form notices and telephone contacts are deliberately excluded from extracted fields. Nested arrays of programs are not flattened; use the retained original evidence to inspect details. No episode history or inferred program end times from the Voydar application are claimed. SourceFinch is independent of Federal Aviation Administration. Customer edits create private recipe versions and must retain applicable attribution and source rights.

Fields and types

Every record has these fields. The key field airport_code identifies a record across runs, so changes are reported field by field.

FieldTypeDescription

Evidence behind every value

  • Each run keeps the publisher's exact response, hashed with SHA-256. This sample came from a response with hash 6937ef53c62decfd6ebce0652cc98805ec29c6c713cc486850a186ef8aa9397d.
  • Every value records where it came from in that response: a JSON Pointer into the retained capture.
  • Each run gets a signed manifest (Ed25519) timestamped by an RFC 3161 authority: this run's manifest hash is 2ab228733f056c845f105a8e94a16618ce0665239705347eabddfb9fa48e4e5b, timestamped October 7, 2026.
  • The compliance state at capture is recorded with the evidence: robots.txt hash and verdict, AI-preference signals, crawler identity and the usage rights below.
  • Download any run as an evidence bundle (WACZ) and check it offline, without trusting SourceFinch: sourcefinch verify-bundle run.wacz.

Measured on completed runs of this recipe version across SourceFinch, anonymized, within a rolling 30-day window. First successful observation: October 7, 2026. A new recipe has only the history collected since that date; this is not a 30-day uptime guarantee.

Use it

Every surface creates the same monitor from this Verified recipe. Monitors keep record history, report field-level changes and deliver by webhook, export or email. You confirm you have the right to collect the source (rights: true).

Console

Open this recipe in the console: it preserves the reviewed URL, fields and record key. Review the latest captured sample, confirm source rights, and choose a schedule before creating your monitor.

Portable recipe

Copy into the console's Import or share a recipe panel to customize fields, types and schedules. This configuration contains no captured records or workspace IDs.

CLI

The sourcefinch CLI is not on npm yet; see /docs/cli.

TypeScript SDK

The SDK is not on npm yet; see /docs/sdk.

import { SourceFinch } from "@sourcefinch/sdk";

const sf = new SourceFinch({ apiKey: process.env.SOURCEFINCH_API_KEY });
const entry = await sf.catalog.get("faa-airport-status");
const source = await sf.sources.create({
  catalog: { slug: entry.slug, version_id: entry.recipe.version_id },
  name: entry.name.slice(0, 100),
  url: entry.acquisition_path.endpoint,
  recipe: entry.recipe.definition,
  key_field: entry.recipe.key_field,
  schedule: entry.recipe.schedule,
  rights: true, // you confirm you have the right to collect this source
});
const run = await sf.runs.wait((await sf.runs.create(source.id)).id);
console.log(run.status);

MCP

Remote MCP server with OAuth; see /docs/mcp.

claude mcp add --transport http sourcefinch https://sourcefinch.com/mcp

# then ask your agent:
"Use SourceFinch to monitor Airport operational status and runway configurations: get_catalog_source faa-airport-status,
then create_source with its create_source_args (dry run first), then run_source."

Pricing

Each check is one run, whatever the number of records, and failed runs are free. On its default daily schedule this source uses about 30 runs a month, which fits the Free plan's 300 runs. It uses HTTP acquisition, so no browser runs are needed. See plans.

SourceFinch is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Federal Aviation Administration. This page describes airport operational status and runway configurations as SourceFinch acquires it.
