faa-drs¶

Python SDK for the FAA Dynamic Regulatory System (DRS) API.

DRS contains FAA regulatory and guidance documents. Examples are Advisory Circulars, Airworthiness Directives, SAIBs, Orders and 14 CFR. The FAA updates DRS every 24 hours.

from faa_drs import DRSClient, DocType

with DRSClient() as drs:
    for doc in drs.iter_documents(DocType.SAIB, keywords="corrosion"):
        print(doc.number, doc.title)

Features¶

• All pages. The client gets all pages for you. The API returns a maximum of 750 documents per page.
• Document type codes. DocType contains all 105 codes. Your editor completes them for you.
• Local validation. The client validates filters against the document type before it sends a request.
• Typed models. Documents are Pydantic models. Common fields are attributes.
• Full text. doc.content contains the full text when the API supplies it.
• Safe downloads. The client streams files to disk. A failed download does not leave a partial file.
• Retries. The client retries connection errors, timeouts, HTTP 429 and HTTP 5xx.
• Sync and async. DRSClient and AsyncDRSClient have the same methods.
