# AVWX
The AVWX REST API is a publically-available, open-source REST API for aviation weather.
## Authentication
AVWX uses bearer tokens for user authentication. Create an account at [account.avwx.rest](https://account.avwx.rest) to generate your token and include it in your requests.
The API looks for tokens in two places:
- `"Authorization"` header. The token value can have any prefix (`"TOKEN abcde"`, `"BEARER abcde"`, etc) or just the token value itself
- `"?token=abcde"` URL parameter
The header value will supercede the URL parameter if both are found. All examples in the documentation use the header method.
Some features require paid plans to be associated with the supplied token. Feature availability is listed on the [Account Page](https://account.avwx.rest).
## Airport Codes
Airports and reporting stations can have four possible identifying codes assigned to them:
- ICAO: 4-letter code assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization
- IATA: 3-letter code assigned by the International Air Transport Association
- GPS: 4-letter code used for in-flight GPS navigation
- Local: The 3 or 4-letter code assigned by the regional governing authority
AVWX matches the airport to your supplied station code by: ICAO, IATA, then GPS. The local code is information only.
Most airports do not have an official ICAO or IATA code. If they do, it should always match the GPS code. Additionally, most stations have a GPS code, but not all. For example, weather buoys have an ICAO but no GPS.
## Flight Path Routing
This API can return results based on a given flight route. These points can be:
- ICAO station idents: KJFK, EGLL, PHNL
- IATA airport idents: MIA, LGA, HNL
- Navaids like VOR and NDB: ATL, ORL, PQ
- Lat,Lon coordinates: 30.35,-81.013
The flight path combines these elements with semicolons to look like:
`KLEX;ATL;30.2,-82.1;ORL;KMCO`
This path starts at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, KY, down to the Atlanta VOR, a coordinate near Jacksonville, FL, the Orlando VOR, and ends at Orlando International Airport.
Unlike ICAO idents, navaid idents are not globally unique. AVWX determines the most likely coordinate pair based on the next known coordinate. If the final coordinate is still multiple choice, it will pick the two nearest ones and start backfilling. It is highly recommended to bookend each flight path with either ICAO idents or coordinate pairs, but VOR to VOR navigation will still work.
Because there are many overlaps between navaid and IATA codes and the navaids are more useful for flight routing purposes, IATA codes are deprioritized when calculating the flight path. It's recommended to use the airport's ICAO, GPS, or coordinate values if known.
Each routing response will include the resolved coordinates used for determining the flight path.
## aviowiki Airport Data
AVWX has partnered with [aviowiki](https://www.aviowiki.com) to provide a reliable, constantly verified source of airport informaion. If you've added the [aviowiki addon](https://account.avwx.rest/plans) to your account, you'll instantly start receiving this new vetted data. This will replace the open source - but sometimes out-of-date - information compiled from [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com) and other locations. If you are using AVWX for mission-critical applications, it is highly reccomended that you enable this addon.
The served data includes general airport information and all landing surfaces including runways, helipads, etc. For more information, check out [aviowiki's API Docs](https://docs.aviowiki.com/data-models/airport). Additional fields can be requested by contacting us.

## Station [/station/{ident}{?format,remove,filter}]
Returns station information for an airfield or other location by ICAO ident. This is the same information provided when incluing the `info` option with weather requests.
+ Parameters
+ ident: `KJFK` (string) - ICAO & IATA station code
+ format (string, optional) - Desired response format
+ Supported: `json`, `xml`, `yaml`
+ Default: `json`
+ remove (string, optional) - Remove unused keys from the response, recursive
+ Examples: `spoken,repr`, `runways`
+ filter (string, optional) - Only include these keys in the response, recursive
+ Examples: `sanitized`, `flight_rules,altimeter,value`
### Get Station Information [GET]
This example shows station information for JKF International in New York City.

## Nearest Stations [/station/near/{coord}{?n,airport,reporting,format,remove,filter}]
Returns the nearest stations to a coordinate pair. By default, these are only reporting stations, but this can be disabled to return smaller airports with non-reporting AWOS/ASOS as well. This endpoint is available to free plans, but the `n` parameter is limitted to 10 while paid plans can go up to 200.
+ Parameters
+ coord: `28.1,-81` (string) - Coordinate pair
+ n: 3 (number, optional) - Number of stations to return
+ Default: 10
+ airport (boolean, optional) - Only include airports
+ Default: true
+ reporting (boolean, optional) - Only include reporting stations
+ Default: true
+ format (string, optional) - Desired response format
+ Supported: `json`, `xml`, `yaml`
+ Default: `json`
+ remove (string, optional) - Remove unused keys from the response, recursive
+ Examples: `spoken,repr`, `runways`
+ filter (string, optional) - Only include these keys in the response, recursive
+ Examples: `sanitized`, `flight_rules,altimeter,value`

## Summary [/summary/{location}{?options,format,remove,filter,onfail}]
The summary provides the current and future flight conditions as well as a few other elements to explain them. For many developers, this is probably all you need. The API pulls this info from the METAR and TAF reports. If you need more info, you can still use those endpoints directly.
+ Parameters
+ location: `KJFK` (string) - ICAO & IATA station code or coordinate pair
+ Examples: `EGLL`, `51.47,-0.4`
+ options (string, optional) - Additional options to include as comma-separated string
+ Supported: `info`, `translate`, `summary`, `speech`
+ Example: `info,speech`
+ format (string, optional) - Desired response format
+ Supported: `json`, `xml`, `yaml`
+ Default: `json`
+ remove (string, optional) - Remove unused keys from the response, recursive
+ Examples: `spoken,repr`, `runways`
+ filter (string, optional) - Only include these keys in the response, recursive
+ Examples: `sanitized`, `flight_rules,altimeter,value`
+ onfail (string, optional) - Error, use out-of-date cache, or check nearest station when unable to fetch report
+ Supported: `cache`, `error`, `nearest`
+ Default: `cache`
### Get Summary Status [GET]
Get the current and forecasted flight conditions for a specific station by ICAO & IATA station code or a lat,lon coordinate pair. The API will return the station nearest to those coordinates. Include `info` in the options to get details about the selected station.

## METAR [/metar/{location}{?options,airport,reporting,format,remove,filter,onfail}]
METAR reports are surface observations for a particular airfield or other station location. There are two standard formats: International and North American. The parser works with both, but it is up to the developer to do the correct interpretation of the data. Use the 'Units' key for labling and conversions.
Field notes:
- Relative humidity is a percentage coded as 0 to 1
- Pressure and density altitude of the airport are always returned in feet to match with cloud layers. You may want to convert into meters when displaying to your users
+ Parameters
+ location: `KJFK` (string) - ICAO & IATA station code or coordinate pair
+ Examples: `EGLL`, `51.47,-0.4`
+ options (string, optional) - Additional options to include as comma-separated string
+ Supported: `info`, `translate`, `summary`, `speech`
+ Example: `info,speech`
+ airport (boolean, optional) - Only include airports when performing a coordinate search
+ Default: true
+ reporting (boolean, optional) - Only include reporting stations when performing a coordinate search
+ Default: true
+ format (string, optional) - Desired response format
+ Supported: `json`, `xml`, `yaml`
+ Default: `json`
+ remove (string, optional) - Remove unused keys from the response, recursive
+ Examples: `spoken,repr`, `runways`
+ filter (string, optional) - Only include these keys in the response, recursive
+ Examples: `sanitized`, `flight_rules,altimeter,value`
+ onfail (string, optional) - Error, use out-of-date cache, or check nearest station when unable to fetch report
+ Supported: `cache`, `error`, `nearest`
+ Default: `cache`
### Get METAR Report [GET]
