Overview
Helipaddy provides a directory API for helicopter landing sites and passenger drone pads, including GPS coordinates, access restrictions, and contact details. It is useful for aviation apps, flight planning tools, or drone delivery services. An API key is required and obtained by registering on the Helipaddy site.
Beginner Tip
This is a niche, specialized API — read the documentation at helipaddy.com/api carefully before building, as endpoints and data availability may vary by region. Start by querying a single known location to understand the response format.
