v3 API
SkyLink API v3 is the full-featured version of the platform. It includes every v2 endpoint plus a comprehensive set of additions: aerodrome charts, aircraft lookup, enhanced airport search, NOTAMs, FAA delays, winds aloft, PIREPs, AIRMET/SIGMET, ML flight time predictions, and AI-generated flight briefings.
For the absolute latest features - historical ADS-B, webhooks, route detection, briefing PDFs, carbon emissions, aircraft performance, and flight tickets - use v3.1.
