What You Get

  • Temperature (min/max)
  • Precipitation (rain, snow)
  • Wind speed and direction
  • UV index
  • Sunrise/sunset
  • Hourly data available

Why Open-Meteo?

  • Free — no API key, no signup
  • Global — any coordinates worldwide
  • 16-day forecast — vs 5 days from most free APIs
  • Historical data — past weather available
  • Fast — typically under 100ms response

I built a Weather Scraper that wraps this with city name geocoding — just enter city names instead of coordinates.

Free on Apify Store — search knotless_cadence weather.
