# Airport Delays and Weather at Seven Major US Hubs

**Use case:** 

Check live FAA ground stops, ground delay programs and arrival or departure delays together with the current METAR weather and the TAF forecast for seven large US airports. Airports without an active FAA event still return their weather. Replace the airport codes with your own.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Airport Delays Today: FAA Ground Stops & METAR/TAF](https://apify.com/data-done-right/airport-delays-weather.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/data-done-right/airport-delays-weather.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
