API

apl_inst = AirportList()

query(query_dict}

query_dict is a dict type with one or more of the three actions as keys:

• search: dictionnary of fields and values
• sort: dictionnary of a single field and a direction
• paginate: dictionnary of paginate options and their values

Search Action

A search action is defined as a dictionnary of field and value pairs. Airports with their fields matching this dictionnary are selected, the remaining items are discarded.

Example:

{'country': 'Russia', 'tzoffset': 6}

Sort Action

A sort action is a dictionnary holding a single field / direction pair. Pair must be either asc for sorting in ascending order the given field, and des for the opposite.

Example:

{'city': 'des'}

Paginate Action

A paginate action consists in splitting a list of selected airports in pages. Two parameters are supporter: * offset indicating the index where the selection starts * limite indicating the maximum number of airports in the selection

Example:

{'offset': 80, `limit`: 20}
