General Information

AccuWeather's Local Weather API provides current-condition weather observations and weather forecasts, as well as satellite and radar imagery. All local weather services are available worldwide, with data available in more than 200 languages and dialects.

A truncated version of local weather data is returned by default. Include "details=true" in the query string to return full details. Data includes:

  • Current condition observations
  • Photos displaying current condition observations (optional *)
  • 10-day forecasts
  • 12-hour forecasts
  • Satellite imagery
  • Radar imagery

Searches require a location key, which are available from the Location API. This API provides access to location-based weather data via a simple RESTful web interface.

* Photos associated with current condition observations are not returned by default. Include "getPhotos=true" in the query string to get the photos.
