Reliable, licensable soaring data for your hardware.
Cockpit displays, variometers, flight computers, and FLARM devices have needed a structured soaring weather feed for years. Convek is that feed - structured JSON, commercial redistribution rights, predictable update schedule.
Built for reliable, commercial integration.
The data feed you need to embed soaring weather in hardware - with the licensing terms to actually ship it.
Structured JSON - parse once
Every response follows a consistent, versioned schema. Named fields, typed values, clear units. No HTML scraping, no image parsing, no undocumented changes.
Commercial redistribution rights
Dev and Partner plans explicitly include redistribution rights. Your device can display Convek data to end users with clear licence terms and downstream safety disclaimer requirements.
Four updates per day
Model runs at 00z, 06z, 12z, and 18z UTC. Predictable update schedule so your device knows exactly when to re-fetch.
Everything from thermals to soundings
Thermal strength, soaring height, cloudbase, wind at all levels, sounding profiles, day rating, plus grid slices for your own overlays and weather pages.
Corridor sampling for flight computers
The route-time-aware corridor endpoint is designed for in-flight use: POST a route, get weather at each waypoint corrected for estimated arrival time.
Partner tier with SLA
High-volume, commercial integrations get dedicated support, uptime SLA, and custom rate limits. Contact us to discuss requirements.
What you receive
Use /v1/site for point reads and /v1/grid when you need your own weather overlays, map views, or embedded pages. Both use the same field model and units.
Why Convek, and why now
SkySight and TopMeteo are map products - they're designed for pilots squinting at a browser, not for instruments that need structured data. They have no developer API, no redistribution rights, and no interest in changing that.
RASP UK is the closest thing to public soaring model output, but it's an image service with no structured data access and no licensing path for commercial integration.
Convek was built to fill that gap. The API is designed from the ground up for programmatic access, with commercial licensing built into the plans from day one. UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, and Czechia are live at 4 km. Spain is benchmarked for the next release, and the wider European set is queued behind it.
Let's talk.
Partner tier pricing is custom - volume, coverage requirements, and SLA terms are all negotiable. Get in touch to discuss what a Convek integration would look like for your product.
