November 10, 20232 yr Hi there, as most of you are aware, our API is bombarded by invalid METAR API requests which required us to limit access to the METAR functionality. To protect ourselves from such events in the future, we are making a change to our infrastructure between 15:00 and 16:00 Zulu today, if everything goes as expected no impact should be noted. After the change we will carefully monitor our website, documentation site and API. Once we are convinced the change has the expected result, we will open up the METAR API again in the 24 hours following, restoring all API functionality. Happy Flying!
November 16, 20232 yr Author Hi there, it took a bit longer than expected, but our API functionality has been restored after adding an extra layer of protection in front of our API, which allows us to better block unwanted requests. We have monitored the changes for the last few days to make sure the situation is stable. All METAR sources that can be selected in the EFB/flyPad ATSU/AOC settings are now available again. Thank you all for the patience while we addressed the situation. Happy Flying!
