Current weather
Current weather anywhere: by coordinates, place name, postal code or GeoNames id. Returns the location (place, region, country, time zone), this hour's conditions (time (UTC and local), condition (code, text, day or night), temperature, feels-like, dew point, humidity, sea-level pressure, wind speed, gust and direction, cloud cover (total, low, mid, high), fog, UV index, precipitation amount (with min/max) and its probability, thunder probability), the latest report from the nearest weather station within 60 km (station, distance, time, temperature, dew point, humidity, pressure, wind, gust, visibility, weather, cloud layers, raw report) and today's summary (date, condition, min/max temperature, precipitation total and probability, thunder probability, max wind and gust, average humidity, max UV index, sunrise, sunset, solar noon, civil twilight, day length and moon phase). Units and condition language are selectable. Forecast data: MET Norway (CC BY 4.0); station reports: NOAA (public domain).
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.
Parameters
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
lat | number | Latitude (-90 to 90). Pass with lon; or use q, postal_code or geonameid instead. |
lon | number | Longitude (-180 to 180). |
q | string | Place name in any language, optionally with region and country: Paris, Springfield, IL, US, München. The most populous match wins (towns of 1,000+ people). Example: London |
postal_code | string | Postal code, with country (default US): 10001, SW1A 1AA + country=GB. |
country | string | Country for q or postal_code: ISO code (US, GB, DE) or English name. |
geonameid | integer | GeoNames id of a place (from /geo/v1/cities). |
units | metric | imperial | si | metric (°C, km/h, mm, hPa, km; default), imperial (°F, mph, in, inHg, mi) or si (°C, m/s, mm, hPa, m). |
lang | en | de | fr | es | it | pt | nl | Language of the condition texts: en (default), de, fr, es, it, pt, nl. |
Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).
Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/weather/v1/current" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/weather/v1/current",
params={},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/weather/v1/current");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
