Call hourly forecast data

How to make an API call

You can search weather forecast for 4 days with data every hour by geographic coordinates.

All weather data can be obtained in JSON and XML formats.

API call

https://pro.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/hourly?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	Data format. Possible values are `json` and `xml`. If the `mode` parameter is empty the format is JSON by default. Learn more
`cnt`	optional	A number of timestamps in response. Learn more
`lang`	optional	Language code. 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 our weather API

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

In Hourly forecast API, Current weather 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
   },

For comparison look at example of daily forecast weather API response:

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 search weather forecast for 4 days (96 hours) with data every hour by city name. All weather data can be obtained in JSON and XML formats.
