Every active FAA Part 107 drone waiver in one dataset. Company, responsible person, waived rules (BVLOS, over people, altitude) and the signed PDF, plus all FRIA Remote ID sites.

Quick start: click Start. The prefilled input returns real results in about a minute for a few cents. New Apify accounts include free monthly credits, so your first runs are effectively free.

The definitive official FAA drone dataset in clean JSON:

• Part 107 waivers issued: every active FAA waiver with company name, responsible person, waiver number, waived rules, issue and expiration dates, and a link to the signed waiver PDF. Companies holding BVLOS (107.31), over-people (107.39), multiple-drone (107.35), altitude (107.51) or moving-vehicle (107.145) waivers are the most advanced commercial drone operators in the U.S.
• FRIA sites: all FAA-Recognized Identification Areas (where drones may fly without Remote ID), with organization, address, dates and coordinates.

Dates are exactly as FAA publishes them. FAA lists some waivers with future issue dates.

Scheduled alerts and only-new mode

• onlyNew: true remembers what earlier runs returned (stored in your own Apify account) and returns only new records, so a daily or hourly schedule charges you only for fresh data.
• webhookUrl POSTs every new batch as JSON with a ready-to-post text and content summary. It works with Slack and Discord incoming webhooks, Zapier, Make and n8n.

Use from AI agents and code

• Apify MCP server: add johto.data/faa-drone-data as a tool. Every input field is documented in the input schema.
• REST, one call, returns JSON:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/johto.data~faa-drone-data/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"maxItems": 50, "onlyNew": true}'
