How to make an API call

API call

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&appid={API key}
Parameters
lat required Latitude. If you need the geocoder to automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around, please use our Geocoding API
lon required Longitude. If you need the geocoder to automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around, please use our Geocoding API
appid required Your unique API key (you can always find it on your account page under the "API key" tab)
mode optional Response format. Possible values are xml and html. If you don't use the mode parameter format is JSON by default. Learn more
units optional Units of measurement. standard, metric and imperial units are available. If you do not use the units parameter, standard units will be applied by default.
Learn more
lang optional You can use this parameter to get the output in your language. Learn more

Please use Geocoder API if you need automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around.

Please note that built-in geocoder has been deprecated. Although it is still available for use, bug fixing and updates are no longer available for this functionality.

Min/max temperature in current weather API and forecast API

Please do not confuse min/max parameters in our weather APIs.

  • In Current weather API, Hourly forecast API and 5 day / 3 hour forecast API - temp_min and temp_max are optional parameters mean min / max temperature in the city at the current moment just for your reference. For large cities and megalopolises geographically expanded it might be applicable. In most cases both temp_min and temp_max parameters have the same volume as 'temp'. Please use temp_min and temp_max parameters in current weather API optionally.
  • In 16 Day forecast - min and max mean maximum and minimum temperature in the day.
Example of current weather API response
  
  "main":{
     "temp":306.15, //current temperature
     "pressure":1013,
     "humidity":44,
     "temp_min":306.15, //min current temperature in the city
     "temp_max":306.15 //max current temperature in the city
   }

Other features

Geocoding API

Requesting API calls by geographical coordinates is the most accurate way to specify any location. If you need to convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around automatically, please use our Geocoding API.

Built-in geocoding

Please use Geocoder API if you need automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around.

Please note that API requests by city name, zip-codes and city id have been deprecated. Although they are still available for use, bug fixing and updates are no longer available for this functionality.

Built-in API request by city name

You can call by city name or city name, state code and country code. Please note that searching by states available only for the USA locations.

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={city name},{state code},{country code}&appid={API key}
Parameters
q required City name, state code and country code divided by comma, Please refer to ISO 3166 for the state codes or country codes.

You can specify the parameter not only in English. In this case, the API response should be returned in the same language as the language of requested location name if the location is in our predefined list of more than 200,000 locations.

appid required Your unique API key (you can always find it on your account page under the "API key" tab)
mode optional Response format. Possible values are xml and html. If you don't use the mode parameter format is JSON by default. Learn more
units optional Units of measurement. standard, metric and imperial units are available. If you do not use the units parameter, standard units will be applied by default. Learn more
