About OpenWeather
OpenWeather provides weather, forecast, air pollution and solar data through web APIs. It is built for developers and businesses that need current and historical weather inside their products.
What it does
OpenWeather serves current conditions, minute-by-minute precipitation forecasts, hourly and daily forecasts, national weather alerts and long-term climate models. Its timeline-based One Call API brings several of these data types together in one integration. Historical weather goes back more than 47 years, and the data covers locations across the globe.
Key features

Who it's for
App developers who want weather in their product, analytics teams that combine weather with other data and businesses that run dashboards or energy planning on weather inputs.
Pricing and good to know
The service starts with 1,000 free API calls per day and then charges on a pay-as-you-call basis. Plans and rates are listed on the pricing page. Because call limits and products can change, check the current API documentation before you build on the free tier and plan for usage that grows with your user base.
