Endpoints

Retrieves weather forecast data for a specific location. Supports hourly, daily, and current weather variables.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`latitude`	float	Yes	Geographical WGS84 latitude of the location.
`longitude`	float	Yes	Geographical WGS84 longitude of the location.
`hourly`	string	No	Comma-separated list of hourly weather variables (e.g., `temperature_2m,precipitation`).
`daily`	string	No	Comma-separated list of daily weather variables (e.g., `sunrise,sunset`).
`current`	string	No	Comma-separated list of current weather variables.
`timezone`	string	No	Timezone to use for time stamps (e.g., `Europe/London` or `auto`). Default is UTC.

Response Example

A successful response returns a JSON object containing the requested data arrays and unit definitions.
