Looking for a recommend on a weather service api
-
I'm not sure where to pose this question, as it's not exactly a programming question but I'm looking for APIs that can return weather information, and I was wondering if any of you have ones that you've used that you can recommend? I want something with an easy to digest api (no SOAP for example, and no complex auth) and free so that I can use it in my IoT project. Also it should be easy to specify gps cordinates or something for getting local weather.

I was going to suggest Windy API, but then the free bit rules it out as it is 990euro/year. However, check out this list of weather APIs, mix of Free and Paid, depending on call volume; [6 Best Free and Paid Weather APIs | Nordic APIs |](https://nordicapis.com/6-best-free-and-paid-weather-apis/#:~:text=OpenWeatherMap is one of the,%2C forecasts%2C and weather maps.)

I had occasion to use this one recently: Weather API - OpenWeatherMap[^]. You need to pay or sign up for the free version.
Thanks! I just subscribed to that one and it looks great! The only problem is now I need to get GPS coords for an IP and the service I've found (geoIp) is pay to play. It's not the cost, but the fact that this is a demo project. I'd like to keep things free instead of per request.

This looks easy to parse and it's free from the noaa. https://api.weather.gov/points/47.6062,-122.3321[^]

For them Dutch (or those that can translate using Google); KNMI - Data ophalen vanuit een script[^] Download CSV with temp, rain, local windspeed, all that stuff. Dunno if other countries do, but that data is paid for with tax money and thus available to the general public.
