WeatherAPI

API

Comprehensive weather API with astronomy and geolocation data

Overview

WeatherAPI provides RESTful endpoints for current weather, 1-14 day forecasts (hourly/daily), astronomy data (sunrise/sunset, moon phases), and geolocation (search by city, ZIP, or coordinates). Responses are in JSON format. Key endpoints include /current.json (real-time conditions), /forecast.json (predictive data), /astronomy.json (celestial events), and /search.json (location lookup). Ideal for integrating into mobile apps, travel platforms, agricultural tools, or location-based services to deliver weather insights plus related astronomical and geospatial context.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://www.weatherapi.com/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
