Hi, I just released new free API service dev.to/epranka/app-airportdb-api...

For example you can create the app which let's the user to enter the airport ICAO code and show the airport information in styled way. It doesn't needs a very huge backend, but you should fetch airport database API from the server side to keep API token safe. Also you can find the airport weather API to show airport metar information too.

For weather I suggest to use: aviationweather.gov/
They have endpoint to fetch metar data of the airport:
aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserve...

Where &stationString=KJFK is airport ICAO code parameter.

If you create something with this API, let me now, I will feature it on airportdb.io

I hope I helped a little 😊

Thanks Edvinas, I'd do project of this kind only using APIs and yes sure I'll let you know
