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:

Field	Description	Value	Example
datetime	A 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
access_token	Instead of basic authentication, you can opt to use OAuth authentication as described here: OAuth Authentification	String.	eyJhbGciOicCI6 ... y2QT4fwpMeJ

Visual Representation

Note: Depending on the zoom level some SIGMET's geometries may be too small to be added to MVT and will be excluded automatically.
