How do I use the WX API to get the current ATIS, METAR, or TAF information for a SayIntentions.AI pilot?

First, you'll need the pilot's API key (the pilot can obtain this from the pilot portal, under their accounts page).

Next, issue a simple HTTP GET request with the "key" and the "icao" of the airport as parameters, to our WX endpoint.

Example: GET https://portal.sayintentions.ai/api/mep/getWX?key=si1MNy62rkg&icao=KSLC

The result is a JSON-formatted string with the METAR, TAF, and and ATIS that are currently applicable to the pilot.
