TAF Hazards API Documentation

This is the documentation to access the TAF Hazards API. It returns any hazards calculated in house based on the latest Airport Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF).

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/taf-hazards
