Welcome to Landers — the global landing intelligence platform. This guide walks you through everything from creating your account to receiving your first real-time intelligence response. Estimated setup time: under 10 minutes.
Tip
If you're integrating Landers into an existing application, jump to the API Reference after completing account setup.
Prerequisites
- A valid email address
- Government-issued ID for identity verification
- Vehicle registration details (for vehicle-type operators)
- Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ (for API integration only)
Create Your Account
Navigate to landers.io/signup and complete the two-step registration flow. Step 1 collects your personal details and credentials. Step 2 captures your vehicle type and country of operation.
- 1
Fill in your details
Enter your full name, email address, and a strong password (minimum 8 characters, mixed case + numbers recommended).
- 2
Choose your vehicle type
Select your primary vehicle category. This shapes your dashboard and the intelligence feeds you receive by default.
- 3
Verify your email
Check your inbox for a verification link. It expires after 24 hours. Check spam if you don't see it within minutes.
- 4
Complete identity check
Upload a valid government-issued ID. Verification typically completes within 60 seconds via our automated system.
Register a Vehicle
After logging in, navigate to Fleet → Add Vehicle. Each vehicle profile stores type, registration, and operational region data — which the intelligence engine uses to personalise your feeds.
{
"vehicle_type": "aircraft",
"registration": "G-ABCD",
"icao_type": "B737",
"home_base_icao": "EGLL",
"operational_regions": ["EGTT", "LECB", "LFFF"]
}Note
Vehicle registration details are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and never shared with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full data handling details.
Your First Intelligence Request
Landers provides intelligence via both the web dashboard and a RESTful API. Here's how to make your first request to the Landing Intelligence endpoint:
curl -X GET "https://api.landers.io/v3/intelligence/landing" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"destination_icao": "OMDB",
"vehicle_type": "aircraft",
"eta_utc": "2026-07-15T14:30:00Z",
"registration": "G-ABCD"
}'Understanding the Response
A successful response returns a structured intelligence bundle including weather, traffic, safety scores, and slot availability:
{
"request_id": "lnd_8f2a91bc",
"destination": {
"icao": "OMDB",
"name": "Dubai International Airport",
"status": "OPERATIONAL"
},
"weather": {
"metar": "OMDB 151400Z 08012KT 9999 FEW030 35/18 Q1009",
"conditions": "CLEAR",
"wind_shear_risk": "LOW",
"visibility_nm": 10
},
"safety_score": 94,
"slot_available": true,
"recommended_approach": "ILS Rwy 30L",
"notams": [],
"intelligence_freshness_sec": 28
}Tip
The intelligence_freshness_sec field tells you how old the data is. Values under 60 seconds indicate live data. Values above 300 seconds trigger an automatic background refresh.
Warning
Never use Landers intelligence as a sole source for safety-critical decisions. Always cross-reference with official ATC, ATIS, and applicable NOTAMs from authoritative sources.
