About Foreca
Foreca is a weather API providing global point forecasts, weather maps, and air quality data as part of its standard package. Additional features such as warnings, marine, pollen, climate data, ski conditions, weather history, notifications, and agriculture data are available depending on the package or as paid add-ons. The API supports forecasts at daily, hourly, 3-hourly, 15-minutely, and minutely intervals, with temperature and humidity calculated at 2m height and wind parameters at 10m height. Multi-location requests are supported for up to 50 locations using coordinates or location IDs.
Access is managed through token-based authorization, with expiring or non-expiring tokens obtained via username, password, and application key. Usage is monitored through a "My API" account, which tracks API hits and shows which products and features are activated. Rate limits include a queries-per-second cap tied to the subscribed package (a hard limit) and a monthly request limit (a soft limit); Map API usage is measured by tiles served, with each tile counted as one request.
A free 30-day trial is available, offering up to 1000 forecast requests and 1000 map requests per day. Customers are required to display the Foreca logo or name in their weather service, and must include third-party attributions for radar, satellite, pollen, climate, ski, and hurricane data sourced from organizations such as EUMETSAT, NOAA, JMA, and various national meteorological services, depending on which data types are used. The API is intended for developers building weather-related services who need forecast, mapping, and related environmental data.
