Weather

Overview

Query either a city name or a zip code to fetch real-time atmospheric readings. Responses supply temperature, wind speed, and compass heading in both metric and imperial measurements. Paid plans add precipitation amounts, barometric pressure, apparent feels-like temperatures, visibility, and wind gust speeds.

Endpoint

One host, one path per API. The block below shows this call in four languages; every one of them is the same HTTP request. Making requests covers the timeouts, retries and parameter rules that apply to all of them. The SDKs wrap the same call in a typed client.

if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);

const { data } = await res.json();

)

func main() {
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/weatherforecast?city=San%20Francisco", nil)
	req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "your_api_key_here")

	res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

}

Replace your_api_key_here with the key from your dashboard. When the inputs arrive as a list rather than one at a time, batch requests run up to 200 of them through this same API in a single call.

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — there is no token exchange and no per-endpoint scope to configure. Authentication covers creating, rotating and revoking keys.

Parameters

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Response

Every API returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape. Response format covers the envelope, the other output formats and how premium fields are withheld.

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change. Error handling covers the full status list and which of them are worth retrying.

Use cases

Delivery Route Planning

When high winds threaten courier safety, dispatch software checks live wind speeds and compass direction across delivery zones before assigning routes.

Travel Booking Portals

Travel sites display real-time temperatures for destination cities so travelers know what conditions to expect upon arrival.

Smart Home Thermostats

Home automation platforms read outdoor temperatures for local zip codes to adjust heating and cooling cycles throughout the day.

Outdoor Event Management

Organizers monitor current wind speeds and temperatures by city to decide when to secure temporary staging or postpone outdoor activities.
