JetNet Tool

Access JetNet aviation data for AI Agents

Overview

This node integrates with the JetNet aviation data service to retrieve detailed information about aircraft and related aviation industry data. Specifically, for the Aircraft resource and the Get by Registration operation, it fetches comprehensive details about an aircraft using its registration number.

Typical use cases include:

  • Aviation companies or brokers looking up aircraft details by registration.
  • Maintenance providers verifying aircraft specifications.
  • Market analysts gathering data on specific aircraft.
  • AI agents or automation workflows that need to enrich datasets with accurate aircraft information based on registration numbers.

For example, given a registration number like "N123AB", the node will query JetNet and return all available data associated with that aircraft.

Properties

Name Meaning
Tool Description Choose how to set the tool's description: either automatically based on resource and operation, or manually provide a custom description.
Description (Shown only if "Set Manually" is selected) A text field to describe what this tool does, helping language models understand its purpose better.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object with the following structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "resource": "aircraft",
  "operation": "getByRegistration",
  "data": { /* Aircraft details returned from JetNet API */ },
  "timestamp": "ISO 8601 timestamp"
}
  • success: Boolean indicating if the API call was successful.
  • resource: The resource queried ("aircraft").
  • operation: The operation performed ("getByRegistration").
  • data: Contains the detailed aircraft information retrieved from JetNet for the specified registration number.
  • timestamp: The time when the response was generated.

If an error occurs, the output JSON will have success set to false and include an error message describing the issue.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the JetNet API service.
  • Needs an API authentication token and security token configured in n8n credentials for JetNet.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to JetNet endpoints under https://customer.jetnetconnect.com.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Registration Number Error: If the registration number is not provided or empty, the node throws an error: "Registration number is required for this operation". Ensure you supply a valid registration string.
  • Unknown Resource or Operation: Errors like "Unknown aircraft operation" or "Unknown resource" indicate misconfiguration of resource or operation parameters.
  • Authentication Failures: If API credentials are invalid or missing, requests will fail. Verify your API key and tokens are correctly set in n8n.
  • Malformed Input: The node attempts to parse input as JSON; if parsing fails and the operation is getByRegistration, it tries to extract a registration number from the input string. Provide clean, correct input to avoid errors.
  • API Rate Limits or Downtime: Network or API issues may cause failures. Check JetNet service status and your network connectivity.
