Product concept

Get essential weather data, short-term and long-term forecasts and aggregated weather data is easy with our OpenWeather One Call API 3.0. This product designed to ensure easy migration from the Dark Sky API.

One Call API 3.0 contains 4 endpoints and provides access to various data:

One Call API 3.0 is based on the proprietary OpenWeather Model and is updated every 10 minutes. Thus, in order to receive the most accurate and up-to-date weather data, we recommend you request One Call API 3.0 every 10 minutes.

Please note, that One Call API 3.0 is included in the "One Call by Call" subscription only. This separate subscription includes 1,000 calls/day for free and allows you to pay only for the number of API calls made to this product. Please note, that you do not need to subscribe to any other OpenWeather subscription plans to get access to the One Call API 3.0. Please find more details on the pricing page and FAQ.

How to start

  1. Sign up to OpenWeather service in case you haven't got your OpenWeather API key yet.
  2. Follow the pricing page to learn details about the price.

    One Call API 3.0 is included in the separate subscription only and allows you to pay only for the number of API calls made to this product. Please find more details on the pricing page.

  3. Once you subscribe to One call API 3.0, 2000 API calls per day to this product are set up by default. If you want to change this limit, please go to the "Billing plans" tab in your Personal account to update standard settings. You can find more information on the FAQ.
  4. Select the desired type of data (Current and forecasts weather data, Weather data for timestamp, Daily aggregation, Weather overview) and make an API call according to relevant tech documentation section, remembering to add your key to each call.

Current and forecasts weather data

To get access to current weather, minute forecast for 1 hour, hourly forecast for 48 hours, daily forecast for 8 days and government weather alerts, please use this section of the documentation.

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

If you you want to exclude some parts of the weather data from the API response please add exclude parameter to the API call like in the example below:
