Steps
Register on the OAG Developer Portal and subscribe to the Flight Status API product to request a Subscription-Key.
Once your subscription is approved, retrieve the Subscription-Key from your profile page in the developer portal.
Call the flight-instances endpoint with flight identifiers (carrier, flight number, departure date) and pass the Subscription-Key in the request header.
Parse the response for current status fields (delay, cancellation, gate/terminal) alongside the underlying schedule data.
Call the API from a server-side integration rather than a browser — enabling CORS to expose the Subscription-Key risks it being scraped and misused.
Known gotchas
Subscription approval is not always instant — some OAG products require manual review before your key is activated, so don't assume access immediately after signup.
Flight Status is a distinct OAG product/endpoint from OAG's Schedules and Alerts APIs — make sure you're subscribed to the right product for status data versus published schedules or push notifications.
