airport_screened_traffic

Vancouver International screened passengers by month (Statistics Canada)

Statistics Canada table 23-10-0312-01, monthly from January 2019: people screened at the pre-board screening checkpoints of Vancouver International (the only B.C. airport in the table, one of Canada's eight largest): total screened traffic, total passengers, domestic, transborder and other international sector passengers, and non-passengers (such as crews and airport staff). month_from and month_to are YYYY-MM; without them the latest month is returned, and one alone is open-ended on the other side. A value the table does not publish would be null, never 0.

Cost: 1 unit of your allowance (see Rate limits).
