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.
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 250 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 contact us for a custom solution.
Which subscription plan fits my needs?
The most decisive factor when it comes to your technical requirements is the number of monthly weather data requests you need to make per month. Other factors include HTTPS encryption, historical data, forecast data, and more.
Signing up for the Free Plan is a great way of getting to know the API and implementing it without any commitments.
Which payment methods are supported?
Payments can be made via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Diner's Club, American Express). Enterprise and high-volume customers may request annual bank transfer payments to be enabled. You can change your payment method at any given time in the "Payment" section of your account dashboard.
Can I also pay yearly?
Yes. If you choose annual billing, the total price of your subscription plan will be up to 15% lower than the total amount you would pay with a monthly payment frequency.
What is an API Request?
Pricing is based on the number of monthly API requests allowed. Each time the weatherstack API service is used to look up a weather information, one API request is consumed. API errors are not counted towards your monthly quota.
What happens if I exceed my API Request volume?
Users will be automatically notified via email and in their account dashboard as soon as at least 75%, 90%, and 100% of their monthly API quota has been reached. After reaching 100% of the allowance, overages fees will apply so we make sure you won’t experience any disruptions and your website/application will keep running smoothly. You can learn more about overages billing here.
What is the API's uptime?
Our API's system status is closely monitored around the clock. Every effort is made to ensure the highest possible level of availability and consistency, and we are proud to have an average uptime rate of nearly 100% (99.9%), calculated based on the past 12 months.
