Wow, scraping seat maps was part of my job 10 years ago! Are you getting that JSON from Delta's website or directly from a GDS?
Yeah, it's pretty icky. The Galileo client has a COM interface which we used to get the seat maps, but only after some reverse engineering (the only time I ever had to use the EBCDIC option in Wireshark). I'm pretty sure the Sabre client has something similar.

Fortunately, Galileo returned the seat maps in XML, but a lot of the other scraping we did required sending actual GDS commands over the COM interface and parsing the response with regexes. Incredibly, there are GUI frontends to the GDSes that work this way.
