Weather API Reference

Overview

Weather works by querying a large database of weather data to retrieve the current weather for a location. It returns the weather data in a structured format.

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.

GEThttps://api.apiverve.com/v1/weatherforecast

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/weatherforecast?city=San%20Francisco" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here"

const res = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/weatherforecast?city=San%20Francisco', {
  headers: { 'x-api-key': 'your_api_key_here' },
});

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

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

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/weatherforecast?city=San%20Francisco",
    headers={"x-api-key": "your_api_key_here"},
    timeout=15,
)
res.raise_for_status()

print(res.json()["data"])

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
)

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)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()

	out, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
	fmt.Println(string(out))
}

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.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Parameters

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

Parameter	Type	Description
`city`Required	string	The city for which you want to get the current weather (e.g., San Francisco)

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.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "tempC": 13.3,
    "tempF": 55.9,
    "windMph": 4.7,
    "windKph": 7.6,
    "windDegree": 273,
    "windDir": "W",
    "pressureMb": 1022,
    "pressureIn": 30.17,
    "precipMm": 0,
    "precipIn": 0,
    "feelslikeC": 13,
    "feelslikeF": 55.3,
    "visKm": 16,
    "visMiles": 9,
    "gustMph": 7.2,
    "gustKph": 11.6
  }
}

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.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`tempC`	number	`13.3`	Current temperature in degrees Celsius
`tempF`	number	`55.9`	Current temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
`windMph`	number	`4.7`	Wind speed in miles per hour
`windKph`	number	`7.6`	Wind speed in kilometers per hour
`windDegree`	number	`273`	Wind direction in degrees (0-360)
`windDir`	string	`"W"`	Wind direction as compass point (N, S, E, W, etc.)
`pressureMb`Premium	number	`1022`	Atmospheric pressure in millibars
`pressureIn`Premium	number	`30.17`	Atmospheric pressure in inches of mercury
`precipMm`Premium	number	`0`	Precipitation amount in millimeters
`precipIn`Premium	number	`0`	Precipitation amount in inches
`feelslikeC`Premium	number	`13`	Apparent temperature in degrees Celsius
`feelslikeF`Premium	number	`55.3`	Apparent temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
`visKm`Premium	number	`16`	Visibility distance in kilometers
`visMiles`Premium	number	`9`	Visibility distance in miles
`gustMph`Premium	number	`7.2`	Wind gust speed in miles per hour
`gustKph`Premium	number	`11.6`	Wind gust speed in kilometers per hour

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.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted	A key restriction or IP allow-list; see key scoping.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart; see rate limits.

Use cases

Weather App: Use the Weather API to get current weather for a weather app. Use the data to display weather information, provide forecasts, and offer alerts
Travel App: Get current weather by using the Weather API for a travel app. Use the data to plan trips, check conditions, and prepare for travel
Outdoor Activities: Plan outdoor activities by using the Weather API to get current weather. Use the data to schedule events, organize trips, and optimize experiences
