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, lon`	required	Geographical coordinates (latitude, 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

You can use the geocoder built into this API by default, but please note that this version is less accurate than the Geocoder API and will be deprecated soon.

Bulk downloading

We provide number of bulk files with current weather and forecasts. The service allows you to regularly download current weather and forecast data in JSON format. There is no need to call an API to do this.

More information is on the Bulk page.

Weather fields in API response

If you do not see some of the parameters in your API response it means that these weather phenomena are just not happened for the time of measurement for the city or location chosen. Only really measured or calculated data is displayed in API response.

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, //min current temperature in the city
     "temp_max":306 //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

We highly recommend you using our Geocoding API. This API uses a much more accurate geographical database and supports both direct and reverse geocoding.

Please note that built-in API requests by city name, zip-codes and city id will be deprecated soon.

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.

API call

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={city name}&appid={API key}

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={city name},{country code}&appid={API key}

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
`lang`	optional	You can use this parameter to get the output in your language. Learn more
