Overview

About This Skill

Airport Gap is a RESTful API designed to help developers improve their API automation testing skills. It provides access to a comprehensive airport database from OpenFlights.org, calculates distances between airports, and supports user account features like saving favorite airports. The API is built as a Rails 7 application and can be deployed locally, via Docker, or to production servers using Kamal. Developers can create a free account at airportgap.com and use it as a sandbox environment to practice automated testing techniques.

How to Use

Create a free account at airportgap.com to access the API. For local development, install Ruby 3.3.5, Bundler, Yarn, PostgreSQL 12+, and Foreman, then run ./bin/setup followed by ./bin/dev. Alternatively, use the provided Dockerfile and Docker Compose configuration to run the application in containers.

Use Cases

Writing and practicing automated API test scripts

Testing request/response handling and error scenarios

Building integration tests for airport data workflows
