Get only IATA code with geocoding

Question

How can I have just the IATA codes with Google Maps? I just found out how to get the address and city, but I need to grab just the IATA code, like NYC or JFK etc. How can I do that?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

You can try use this service:

GET Request Params: http://iatageo.com/getCode/{lat}/{lng}

GET Request Example: http://iatageo.com/getCode/-15.4343434/-47.323232

This will return a JSON, for example:

{
  "code": "BSB",
  "distance_meters": "127763.232556459"
}
      

Answer 2

You could use the Global Airport Database. It has GPS coordinates.
