Developers

Welcome to the WeGlide developer section.

We offer three distinct services to work with: Public API, OAuth and Maps.

API

We encourage the use of our API. The interface enables read access to all the data publicly available on the Website (e.g. flights, aircraft, airports, users, clubs).

Please note that the API is not finalized. We are planing for API versioning to minimize breaking changes.

The search endpoint enables text search for every data endpoint called "document". Multiple documents can be passed separated by comma like this: user,aircraft,airport.

Firewall

Trying to access the API from non-residential IPs might be blocked to prevent spam. When you need to access the API from e.g. a server IP and it is not working, please contact us for an API Key.

OAuth

Our OAuth endpoints are used to integrate services or hardware with WeGlide. This allows you to interact with WeGlide in the name of individual users such as uploading flights or editing tasks. Access to these features is granted by the users on a per-account basis via OAuth 2. The user has the power to revoke these permissions at any time.

Please contact us for a OAuth application token with your application name, company and logo. You only need this if you are providing account specific WeGlide functionality to the users of your public facing application which is very rare.

Maps

Our maps are build by us with love and open data.

They are compatible with most modern mapping software thanks to open standards such as mapbox vector tiles and raster tiles.

We are planing to make our hosted maps available as a service with fair (talk cheaper than Mapbox/Maptiler etc.) billing. Please contact us so we know there is demand.
