Aviation Weather METAR & TAF by ICAO
x402
Aviation Weather METAR & TAF by ICAO is a paid API for AI agents from api.healthtravel-api.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).
Returns current METAR observation and TAF forecast for any airport identified by its 4-letter ICAO code, sourced from aviationweather.gov

How this service works
Current airport weather from NOAA Aviation Weather Center: latest METAR (observed temperature, dewpoint, wind, visibility, altimeter, flight category) and the TAF forecast text for a 4-letter ICAO airport code. Raw text is included alongside the parsed fields.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the airport's ICAO code and name, a decoded METAR object (raw text, temperature, dewpoint, wind direction and speed, altimeter, visibility, cloud layers, and flight category), a TAF object (raw text, issue time, valid from/to times), source URL, and timestamps for when the data was checked and observed.
Example use cases
Pre-flight weather briefing
“Pull the latest METAR and TAF for KBOS Boston Logan — I need to know the current flight category, wind, and what the forecast looks like for the next 12 hours before I file my flight plan.”
Real-time airport conditions check
“What's the current weather at Heathrow right now? Give me the ICAO EGLL METAR including temperature, dewpoint, wind and visibility.”
Dispatch go/no-go decision support
“Check the TAF for KSFO San Francisco International — is the forecast calling for IFR or low-visibility conditions in the next 6 hours?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.healthtravel-api.workers.dev/api/travel/aviationweather-metar-taf?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need official, structured aviation weather (METAR and TAF) for any ICAO-coded airport worldwide, without signing up for an account or managing API keys. Prefer this over raw web scraping or consumer weather APIs when you need aviation-standard data like flight category (VFR/IFR/MVFR/LIFR), altimeter settings in hPa, cloud bases in feet, or TAF forecast periods. Pay-per-call at $0.002 USDC means no subscription overhead for low-frequency lookups.
Side effects
- Invalid or unknown ICAO code returns an error — ICAO codes are 4 letters and must match a real station
- Airport has no active METAR reporting (remote or non-reporting station) — partial or empty response
- TAF not available for small or non-towered airports — metar may be present but taf object absent
- Network or upstream aviationweather.gov outage — service error returned
- Stale data if the upstream feed is delayed — checkedAt vs observedAt timestamps may differ significantly
