SIGMET Request

You only need to specify this style URL in your client and it will automatically know what other URLs it has to request for other resources such as vector tiles and sprites:

https://api.meteomatics.com/mvt/aviation_reports/sigmet:0/style.json?<optionals>

Optional Fields

Optional fields can be attached to the query string as follows:

https://...?option_name=<option_value>&...

The following table describes all optional parameters:

FieldDescriptionValueExample
datetimeA date to retrieve the vector data
If no datetime is provided, the system defaults to the time of the request.
Dates and times are specified according to the ISO-86011 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ). All times are in UTC. Note that the part containing time specifications (Thh:mm:ss) is optional. The default setting is now. For more details see Date/Time Description 2018-04-12T12:45Z
