SWIM Weather Demo-EDR-IWXXM METAR

IWXXM METAR

  • METAR observations in IWXXM format
  • The API returns METAR reports in the form of individual XML files packed in a ZIP archive
  • Stations can be filtered by spatial geometries (/radius, /area, /cube, /corridor queries) and by the ICAO code of the station (/locations query)
  • Temporal filtering also available via the datetime parameter
