What it provides

AviationWeather.gov provides a public Data API for machine-to-machine access to aviation weather information.

Data and operations

It exposes METAR, TAF and other aviation-weather datasets, airport information and navigation-feature data, plus compressed cache files for larger current datasets.

Endpoints and products

Official documentation provides an OpenAPI YAML specification. Cache files include /data/cache/metars.cache.xml.gz, /data/cache/metars.cache.csv.gz, /data/cache/tafs.cache.xml.gz and SIGMET cache files.

Coverage and access

Airport information and several API datasets are worldwide, so Thai airports can be addressed by station/airport identifiers where supported.

Access and terms

The page does not state an API-key/authentication requirement. It does state a rate limit of 100 requests per minute and recommends cache files for large queries.

Updates

Current METAR cache files update once per minute; TAF cache updates every 10 minutes; some SIGMET caches update once per minute. The query database allows up to the previous 30 days.

Limits

Most endpoints return at most 400 entries, CORS is not permitted, and excessive requests can be blocked. Coverage varies by aviation product.
