In the default case, when an error occurs the API returns a 200 status code and this structure contains information about the error. Not returned if specifying _extendedOptions=useHTTPErrors_, in which case the API returns the HTTP error code and _text/plain_ body containing the same information as in the structure.

This is a unique identifier for the error used internally at Cirium. Include this string in helpdesk requests to help us troubleshoot issues.

This contains detail about the error. If there are multiple errors in the request, the string may have multiple items separated by a '|' character.

This is the standard HTTP code (400, 401, 404, etc...)

The object contains information about a delay index at a single airport

The count of flights at the airport for the given time window that were canceled

The date and time (UTC) of the end of the window for the current delay calculation in ISO-8601 format. yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ

The date and time (UTC) of the start of the window for the current delay calculation in ISO-8601 format. yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ

The count of flights at the airport for the given time window that are currently expected to be delayed between 15 and 30 minutes

The count of flights at the airport for the given time window that are currently expected to be delayed between 30 and 45 minutes

The count of flights at the airport for the given time window that are currently expected to be delayed more than 45 minutes

The percentage change in normalized score from the last period based on current observations. Positive values indicate worsening conditions, while negative values indicate improving conditions.

The count of all known flights at the airport for the given time window (whether tracked or not)

The normalized delay score, from 0 to 5 in increments of .25 (where 5 is maximum delay)
- 0	- Minimal disruption (delays and cancellations)
- 2.5	- Moderate disruption (delays and cancellations
- 5	Severe disruption (delays and cancellations)

## Introduction
The Airport Delay Index APIs, part of the [FlightStats APIs](/apis/flightstats-apis/overview), returns a measure of the level of departure delays a airport is currently experiencing. 

Cirium samples a relevant time range and considers the magnitude of delay, cancellations, and time of day to generate a normalized score.

A low index (0-1) indicates that departures are running relatively smoothly. A higher index (4-5) is indicative of significant delays and flight operations disruptions. The index is updated every 30 minutes.

Here's a sample of how the index can be mapped to severity
* 4 to 5 - Excessive 
* 3 to 4 - Significant 
* 2 to 3 - Moderate 
* 1 to 2 - Low
* 0 to 1 - Very Low
    
Airport Delay Index APIs answer questions such as:
* What are the major airports with significant delays in this country or region?
* Is my flight likely to be on time given current conditions at a specific airport?
* How bad is the delay?

## Licensing
Airport Delay Index APIs are standard APIs and included in our Commercial and Contract plans. 

A breakdown of the available plans is available on [Get evaluation account](/apis/flightstats-apis/get-evaluation-account#)
