About Weatherbit

Weatherbit provides a set of weather data APIs covering current conditions, forecasts, historical weather, air quality, agriculture-focused variables, and energy/degree-day data. Available endpoints include current weather, severe weather alerts, lightning, weather map tiles, daily/hourly/minutely forecasts, historical daily/hourly/sub-hourly data, climate normals, air quality (current, forecast, and historical), ag-weather forecasts, and energy demand-related datasets. Data is sourced from a mix of stations, radar, satellite, weather models, and reanalysis datasets, with coverage and resolution varying by product; forecast data has model resolution of roughly 1 to 13 km depending on location.

Requests can be made using latitude/longitude, city, postal code, or station ID, though point coordinates are recommended for precision and reproducibility. Responses are timezone-aware where available and returned in JSON format. Some product groups, including historical weather, air quality, ag-weather, and energy data, are restricted to Plus, Business, or Enterprise plans.

The API is intended for developers building operational apps, dashboards, consumer-facing weather features, analytics and modeling pipelines, and data backfills that require current, forecast, or historical weather data.
