Just follow these four easy steps
You must register for a Free API key at www.checkwxapi.com
Registration is Free and does not require any credit card or obligation.
You will instantly be granted a unique API key for your website.
Copy and paste this script tag near the bottom of your page right above the closing </body> tag. See examples.
Be sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you received from Step #1 above.
Copy-and-paste this element tag anywhere on your page where you want the METAR or TAF to appear.
You can create one or more of these element tags. See examples
You do not have to use a <div> tag. You could use a <p> tag or <span> tag or any other markup tag.
Edit the data-type and data-station attributes of the element you created in Step 3:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
data-type |
The type of data feed you are requesting. Options are either METAR or TAF |
data-station |
The airport weather locations you are requesting. Options are either:
An ICAO code is a four-character alphanumeric code like KJFK or EGLL You can search for a list of ICAO codes on www.checkwxapi.com |
Automatically refresh the data - Change styles to match your site.
If you are using our widget on a website, it will always show the latest MATER and TAF each time someone vists your page.
However for static displays, like a monitor in an FBO or for Home Automation, you can have our widget automatically update the METAR and TAF on a schedule.
Add the &refresh= setting as shown below to automatically update all feeds every 5 to 60 minutes.
The value is number of minutes. Valid values are 5 - 60. We suggest &refresh=15 when using this option.
When our Widget returns data, it is inserted inside of the tags you created, wrapped in a paragraph tag <p>...</p>
As shown below, there are two checkwx- classes in the response paragraph which allow you to customize the style.
The following example shows how you can customize the CSS classes:
