For Developers

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.

Endpoints

Available Endpoints

Clean RESTful endpoints, JSON responses, standard units. For radar imagery and map tiles see our Map Tile API.

GET /wxf/current Current conditions at any location. Temperature, dewpoint, wind, pressure, visibility, ceiling, cloud cover, UV index, precipitation — everything a "right now" panel needs in a single call.
GET /wxf/forecast 10-day forecast — hourly out to ten days, plus daily summaries. Includes precipitation probability, wind gusts, air quality, and sunrise/sunset.
GET /wxf/nexthour Minute-by-minute precipitation nowcast for the next 60 minutes, with a human-readable summary like "Light rain starting in 12 min".
GET /wxf/metar Look up METARs for one or more airports by ICAO identifier. Returns raw and decoded fields — wind, visibility, ceiling, sky cover, temperature, dewpoint, altimeter, flight category, remarks.
GET /wxf/taf Look up the latest TAF for one or more airports by ICAO identifier. Returns raw forecast text plus decoded validity period, forecast groups, change indicators, and probabilities.
GET /wxf/advisories Active AIRMETs, SIGMETs, and convective SIGMETs — icing, turbulence, mountain obscuration, IFR conditions, thunderstorms. Filter by region or by intersecting flight route.
GET /wxf/tfrs Active Temporary Flight Restrictions and NOTAMs. Filter by region or intersecting a flight route — critical for flight planning compliance.
GET /wxf/airports Look up airports by ICAO identifier, name, or geographic search ("find airports near lat/lon", "airports matching 'hartford'"). Returns identifier, name, coordinates, elevation, and runway info. Use as a companion to METAR/TAF lookups.
GET /wxf/winds_aloft Winds aloft profile — direction, speed, and temperature at every flight level from the surface to FL600.
GET /wxf/winds_aloft/quicklook Compact winds-aloft summary for the next 6 hours at the altitudes you specify. Built for cockpit and EFB display.
GET /wxf/point Direct access to the full data catalog. Pick the variables you need — from standard fields like temperature and wind through to specialised ones like freezing level, fire weather, and wave conditions.
GET /wxf/health Live status of the data pipeline. Use it for uptime monitoring and to confirm freshness before critical operations.

Built for developers and product teams

The same engine that powers WeatherScope, Vortix, and the Aviator Assistant 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.

Coverage

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.
