Weather, environment, and disasters

NOAA Aviation Weather API.

Global aviation weather API for METAR, TAF, SIGMET, station info, and recent archives. Useful as a machine-readable backup or cross-check for Thai airport weather.

Access class note

Public web, file, catalog, or documented endpoint access with no paid gate implied in the source profile.

Used in layers

source health, observation ingest, signal compute, decision compute

Useful fields

airport code, airport or operator, flight number where applicable, scheduled or observed times, status family, aircraft type or registration, weather and NOTAM context, gate/check-in/baggage only when the source genuinely provides them, confidence, source URL, last verified

Reliability rating

High for official context; validate endpoint availability before automation.

Runtime note

Feeds active observations and signals that currently influence traveler-facing decisions.

How this helps travel recommendations

Turns Thai aviation into source-backed decisions: which airport or airline is actually operating, whether a flight is delayed or only appears stale on a board, whether a route is really on sale, what the weather and NOTAM risk is, and how much confidence the traveler should put in each layer.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Use CAAT and AEROTHAI for official regulatory and publication truth, AOT/DOA for airport-board and airport-stat context, commercial status/tracking APIs for live flight movement, and fare or booking APIs only when explicit authorization exists.

Recommended refresh

Refresh every 15-60 minutes, with caching and backoff when the upstream fails.

Travel scoring role

Turns Thai aviation into source-backed decisions: which airport or airline is actually operating, whether a flight is delayed or only appears stale on a board, whether a route is really on sale, what the weather and NOTAM risk is, and how much confidence the traveler should put in each layer.

Comparable / backup source

CAAT, AOT, Department of Airports, AEROTHAI, TMD Aeromet, NOAA, OAG, Cirium, FlightAware, Flightradar24, OpenSky, ADS-B Exchange, Amadeus, Skyscanner, Duffel, Sabre, IATA ONE Record, THAI Cargo, and OurAirports.

Failure modes

  • There is no single universal public Thailand flight feed.
  • Airport boards, commercial status APIs, ADS-B tracking, and airline apps can disagree in the same minute.
  • ADS-B position feeds do not guarantee gate, baggage, cancellation-reason, or passenger-facing boarding fields.
  • A schedule is not the same thing as seat availability or a valid fare offer.
  • AIP, NOTAM, and slot publications are official, but they are not live consumer booking or airport-operations APIs.
  • Passenger APPS, PNR, check-in, boarding, and payment data are restricted and should never be treated as open public data.

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
