General information

AccuWeather's Imagery API delivers radar and satellite images for any location worldwide. Each request returns the five most recent images, ready to be displayed in a repeating loop for an animated effect — useful for weather widgets, dashboards, and "is it raining now" UI.

→ See the Imagery Guide and Parameters for endpoint details and request patterns.

Available resolutions

Radar and satellite images are available in three sizes:

• 480×480 — small (square)
• 640×480 — standard
• 1024×1024 — large (square, high resolution)

Coverage

• Satellite imagery is available for all locations worldwide.
• Radar imagery is not available for every location. When radar isn't available for the requested location, satellite imagery is still returned.

Requirements

Imagery searches require a LocationKey. Use the Locations API to look one up.
