Retrieving the actual gate departure time, and actual gate arrival time

FlightAware AeroAPI
1

It seems that getFlightInfoEx actualdeparturetime and actualarrivaltime fields are the takeoff and landing times, respectively.

So on the flight below, the api returns 1:57pm (takeoff time), when I want it to return 1:42pm (gate departure time)

Is it possible to get the gate departure and gate arrival times of a flight with the api?

Thanks!

You would need to make a call to the AeroAPI 2b extension https://flightaware.com/commercial/aeroapi/explorer/?minor=b#op_FlightInfoStatus. You can use your existing AeroAPI 2 credentials for authorization.

http://flightxml.flightaware.com/json/FlightXML2b/FlightInfoStatus?ident=DAL253 would get you what you need
