I developed the Skylink API to solve a common challenge in the aviation and tech industries: the lack of a comprehensive, affordable, and easy-to-use aviation data platform. As a developer and aviation student, I consistently found myself needing to integrate multiple, disparate data sources for flight tracking, weather, and airport information. My goal was to build a single, unified solution.
What makes Skylink unique is its all-in-one data model delivered through a modern RESTful API. We offer a comprehensive suite of real-time and historical data—from METAR and TAF reports to live flight statuses and a complete global airport database—all accessible through clean, consistent endpoints. This simplifies development and reduces the time and cost associated with integrating multiple services.
I'm most proud of our focus on developer experience and accessibility. By providing structured JSON responses and detailed OpenAPI documentation, we've made this data available to a wide range of users, from solo developers building a new app to aviation companies creating enterprise-level dashboards. We are dedicated to providing a reliable and professional-grade service that powers the next generation of aviation applications.
