Helipaddy sites logo
Option 1

Helipaddy sites

Helicopter and passenger drone landing site directory. Helipaddy data is available to developers through the Helipaddy API. All tiers of the API are designed to optimise searching for heli-friendly sites with users only needing to provide their desired coordinates in decimal or what3words format, and an optional radius to search within. The API is also built to allow for interactive maps of any region to easily be constructed.

NHTSA Vehicles logo
Option 2

NHTSA Vehicles

NHTSA Product Information Catalog and Vehicle Listing. The NHTSA Product Information Catalog Vehicle Listing (vPIC) Application Programming Interface (API) provides different ways to gather information on Vehicles and their specifications. The vPIC Dataset is populated using the information submitted by the Motor Vehicle manufacturers through the 565 submittals. All the information on how a VIN is assigned by the manufacturer is captured in this catalog and used to decode a VIN and extract vehicle information.
