Weather API
Aviation-grade weather data through a clean, modern API. Current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, minute-level precipitation, and winds aloft — everything you need to build serious weather features into your app, without standing up the infrastructure yourself.
Available Endpoints
Clean RESTful endpoints, JSON responses, standard units. For radar imagery and map tiles see our Map Tile API.

Built for developers and product teams
The same engine that powers WeatherScope, Vortix, and the Aviator EFB — available as a public API.
Drop-in WeatherKit Replacement
Already using Apple's WeatherKit? Our response shape matches it. Migrating is a base-URL change, not a rewrite.
Always the Freshest Data
We blend real-time observations and the best available models so every response is as accurate as the data allows — and we tell you how confident we are.
Worldwide Coverage
Thousands of station observations and global forecast data, refreshed continuously. Build for anywhere your users fly.
Accurate in the Mountains
Pass an elevation and the response adapts. Mountain airports, ridges, and high-altitude operations get the right numbers — not the valley-floor approximation.
More Than Weather
Winds aloft, air quality, dust and smoke, wave heights, fire weather. Everything pilots, drone operators, and product teams need — one API.
Built for Production
Fast responses, predictable schemas, clear attribution on every payload. Designed to sit behind real consumer apps and aviation operations.
What you get
One API, every category of weather data pilots and operators actually use.
Global forecasts
10-day hourly + daily forecasts worldwide. Temperature, wind, precipitation, cloud cover, pressure — everything a forecast page needs.
High-resolution short-range
Rapid-refresh forecasts across CONUS update through the day so your users see the latest picture, not yesterday's run.
Live observations
Real-time station observations worldwide and minute-level precipitation nowcasts driven by live radar. The freshest possible reading at any location.
Air quality
Current AQI plus 5-day forecasts for PM2.5, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulphur dioxide.
Dust, smoke & fire
Aerosol forecasts and fire weather indices. Built for UAV operators, aviation visibility, and outdoor operations downwind of wildfire smoke.
Marine
Significant wave height, peak period, mean direction, and sea-surface temperature. Aviation and maritime use cases both covered.
Already powering our entire product line
Every Aviator Assistant product runs on this API. If it's good enough for our own flagship apps, it's good enough for yours.
Aviator EFB
Charts, weather, and flight planning for pilots — current conditions, forecast, winds aloft, and minute-level precipitation all served from this API.
WeatherScope
Consumer weather app with Patent-pending forecasts. The "right now" panel, hourly outlook, and rain-soon notifications come straight from these endpoints.
Vortix
Professional aviation weather. The same forecast data, packaged for instrument-rated pilots and operators who need full briefings on the ground.
UAV Weather
Sub-500ft precision weather for drone operators. Winds aloft, gust forecasts, and visibility for Part 107 missions.
Flight Tracker
Live aircraft tracking with weather context. Current conditions and forecast for any aircraft's origin, destination, or current position.
Pilot Path Pro
Flight school operations suite. Weather briefings inside scheduling and dispatch, powered by the same data your students will see in the cockpit.
Map Tile API
Need imagery instead of JSON? Our Map Tile API serves slippy-map tiles for Leaflet, Mapbox GL, MapLibre, and native map views — radar, satellite, forecast overlays, plus satellite basemaps and vector tiles.
