If you enjoy our API and want to keep it free for as long as possible, please support us at Patreon. You will also get access to the weather radar database API, 60 minutes of weather radar nowcast map, and a possibility to get tiles in your own custom color scheme.
Become a patronWe respect privacy. We do not know who uses our free API; we do not log any IP addresses; we do not set any cookies or other tracking tools. Our system only tracks our web server’s performance metrics and internal applications to solve the scaling problems.
We can handle up to 50,000 tile requests per second because of the bandwidth limitation of 5Gbps. However, if you are “The Weather Channel” (just in case :) ), we are still asking you to cache as much data as possible for the past products. The forecast map is updated every 10 minutes, and it is not useful to cache forecast data because it changes entirely every 10 minutes.
Here is the documentation for our Legacy API: past weather radar maps in the simplest JSON structure. We are going to support it for a long time, but please don’t use this API anymore.
