Windsock provides aircraft intelligence for general aviation and business aircraft. The REST API offers valuations with confidence bands, FAA registry lookups and fleet search, cost-of-ownership estimates, comparable-aircraft data, airworthiness directives and STCs, avionics references, airport data and weather, market metrics and price-index time series, logbook search, and verified value reports. It also exposes compatible tools through MCP. Authentication uses the X-API-Key header.
