SimBrief adds or modifies the available aircraft types and OFP layouts from time to time. Therefore, developers might want a way to automatically get an updated list of these options when integrating with SimBrief.
The following URL returns a JSON object listing the currently supported aircraft types and OFP layouts on SimBrief:
http://www.simbrief.com/api/inputs.list.json
This file is updated every 5 minutes.
An XML version of this data is now also available and can be found here:
http://www.simbrief.com/api/inputs.list.xml
For those who require more detailed information about the available airframes, the following URL is also available (in JSON format only, however):
https://www.simbrief.com/api/inputs.airframes.json
Typical usage would be to download the file, parse the JSON/XML data, and use the resulting object to create your “type” and “planformat” options. This can also be done automatically every time your integration is loaded if need be.
