Data Source

All data comes from the FAA Aviation Weather Center public API (aviationweather.gov/api/data). This is the official US government source for aviation weather and is freely accessible worldwide.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
`mode`	select	`metar`	`metar` for current observations, `taf` for forecasts
`stationIds`	string	Top 10 US airports	Comma-separated ICAO codes (e.g. `KJFK,KLAX,EGLL,LFPG`)
`maxItems`	integer	`50`	Maximum records to return (1–500)

ICAO Airport Codes

ICAO codes are 4-letter identifiers. Common prefixes:

K — United States (e.g. KJFK, KLAX, KORD)
E — Northern Europe (e.g. EGLL London Heathrow, EDDF Frankfurt)
L — Southern Europe (e.g. LFPG Paris CDG, LIRF Rome)
Y — Australia (e.g. YSSY Sydney)
Z — China (e.g. ZBAA Beijing)

FAQ

Is this real-time data? Yes. METAR observations are updated every 20–60 minutes at most airports. TAFs are typically issued every 6 hours.

Do I need an API key or proxy? No. The FAA Aviation Weather Center API is free and publicly accessible worldwide without authentication or proxy.

What ICAO codes can I use? Any ICAO 4-letter airport code. The API covers thousands of airports globally, including major international hubs in the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, and beyond.

Why does my station return no data? Some small or private airfields do not report METAR/TAF. Try major commercial airports for reliable results.

What is the difference between METAR and TAF? METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) is a snapshot of current conditions. TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) is a prediction of conditions over the next 24–30 hours, broken into time periods.
