v2 API Overview
SkyLink API v2 is the original stable API, served under the /v2 prefix. It remains available for existing integrations. New projects should use v3.1, which is a strict superset with charts, NOTAMs, FAA delays, ML predictions, AI briefings, and v3.1-only features such as historical ADS-B and webhooks.

Migrating to v3 or v3.1
v3 keeps the same base URL with a /v3 prefix and adds winds aloft, PIREPs, charts, NOTAMs, FAA delays, aircraft lookup, and more. See the v3 Overview for a full v2 vs v3 comparison.
For the latest platform features, use v3.1.
