How automatic API subscriptions work

Self-service subscriptions

Self-service plans are built for developers, data scientists, businesses, and product teams who need immediate API access to globally available, high-coverage weather data delivered through reliable, production-grade infrastructure. Our datasets provide broad geographic reach and trusted weather information used worldwide, allowing teams to build and scale independently under standard public terms.

Included

  • Immediate online activation
  • Independent subscription management
  • API access under the ODbL licence
  • Commercial and non-commercial use
  • Technical support via our Support Centre
  • Published, predictable pricing

Licence Requirement

  • Visible attribution to OpenWeather in your application or service

Not Included

  • Contract negotiation or customised terms
  • Procurement or compliance documentation
  • Dedicated account management
  • Modified attribution conditions
  • Enterprise service commitments

For contract-based licensing, customised terms, or enterprise-grade usage, please see our Enterprise Solutions.

Self-Service Subscription Process

01 icon

Create an Account

  • Sign up with your email address. Your API key is generated automatically and available in your account.
02 icon

Choose a Plan

  • Select a subscription based on the endpoints, usage limits, and call volume you need.
03 icon

Subscribe online

  • Complete the billing form and confirm payment.
  • Your API key is activated immediately after payment.

You can view, upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time in your account settings.

License

The automated, self-service plans are provided under the ODbL license.

Commercial use is permitted under the license. Applications, solutions, and other derivative products can be build on OpenWeather data and used with a commercial purpose. However, you must comply with its core requirements:

  • Attribution: you must credit OpenWeather as required by the license terms.
  • Redistribution: you cannot redistribute data in its raw form. If you share adapted dataset you must make it available under the same ODbL license.

ODbL license works well for self-service use and many commercial projects, but they may be incompatible with customised commercial terms. For those cases, an Enterprise license is required; contact our Enterprise team to discuss your specific needs.

Support & Service Model

  • All support is provided via our Help Desk ticket system
  • No phone support is offered
  • Written support ensures clear, traceable responses

Professional and Expert plans receive priority response in the support queue.

Billing & Payments

Payment Methods

  • Credit & debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, UnionPay)
  • Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe Link, WeChat Pay, Alipay+, Revolut Pay
  • Bank transfers (available for selected plans and longer terms)

Cash and checks are not accepted.

Recurring Billing

  • Your card is charged immediately upon subscription
  • Billing repeats automatically each billing cycle
  • Pricing changes are communicated in advance

Invoices and payment history are available in your account dashboard.

Subscription Management & Cancellation

  • Subscriptions renew automatically each billing period
  • You can cancel anytime; access remains until the end of the paid cycle
  • No partial refunds or proration
  • Upgrades apply immediately; downgrades take effect next cycle

Accounts can be deleted at any time from the Privacy Centre.

Usage Limits, Reliability & Security

  • Each plan includes defined usage limits; overage fees may apply
  • Service uptime and data accuracy are continuously monitored
  • Weather data accuracy may vary due to external factors
  • Industry-standard security and data protection practices are applied

Full details are available in our Privacy Policy and Terms.

Need enterprise-grade service or custom terms?

Self-service plans are automated subscriptions under a public licence (ODbL) with mandatory attribution and standard terms.

Enterprise Solutions are contract-based services designed for organisations that require:

  • A negotiated commercial agreement, SLA (not ODbL)
  • Procurement and compliance documentation
  • Defined service parameters and usage volumes
  • Dedicated account coordination
  • Customised terms or modified attribution conditions

If your organisation requires governed, contractually licensed access to weather data, please refer to our Enterprise Solutions.

  • FAQ: Quick answers regarding subscription, billing, and product usage.
  • API Documentation: Detailed examples for each API call and its responses.

By subscribing to any plan above, you agree to our Terms and Conditions of Sale, Privacy Policy, and Website Terms of Use.
