appid required Your unique API key (you can always find it on your account page under the "API key" tab)
exclude optional By using this parameter you can exclude some parts of the weather data from the API response. It should be a comma-delimited list (without spaces).

Available values:

  • current
  • minutely
  • hourly
  • daily
  • alerts
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 the lang parameter to get the output in your language. Learn more

Example of API call

Before making an API call, please note, that One Call 3.0 is included in the "One Call by Call" subscription only. Learn more
