Weather Data & API
Where is the data coming from?
The weatherstack API is licensing weather data from some of the largest weather stations and weather data providers in the world, all of which are closely monitored for consistency and data accuracy around the clock.
How often is weather data refreshed?
Weather data returned by the API as well as weather forecast data always contains the most up-to-date weather information at the current point in time, updated in real-time.
How scalable is this service?
The weatherstack API is powered by apilayer cloud infrastructure, a system some of the world's most popular real-time API services are running on, making it highly scalable and flexible at any step of the way.
Plans, Pricing & Payment
What is the difference between free and paid subscriptions?
The weatherstack Free Plan is a way of getting familiar with the API, offering basic API functionality and a limitation of 100 monthly API lookups.
As soon as you need a higher volume or advanced API features, you can choose from one of the premium subscriptions or
