Airport Log API Documentation

This is the documentation to access the Airport Log API. It returns user community submitted Airport Conditions. Without the optional parameters it will by default return the latest user submitted observations. User submitted observations marked as private can only be seen by the API key user themselves and are not publicly available.

The API Platform is only available via a REST API, in which you have to let your application grab a URL with parameters and it returns all output in either JSON format. This makes it easy to grab the data using any Programming Language of your choice.

The root URL for the API is:

GET https://aviation.flights/api/airport-log
