Flight Ops Message API Documentation

This is the documentation to access the Flight Ops Message API. We have a group of volunteers who post special messages in relation to any of the Aircraft Manufacturers Test Flights. This could be flight schedules, weather, air traffic issues etc.

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/flightops
