Open Meteo

Goal

Provide a reliable, production-friendly way to call Open-Meteo APIs (Forecast, Air Quality, Geocoding), choose variables, control time/units/timezone, and parse responses consistently.

Steps

1. Pick the correct API and base URL

   • Forecast: https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast
   • Air Quality: https://air-quality-api.open-meteo.com/v1/air-quality
   • Geocoding: https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com/v1/search

2. Resolve coordinates (if you only have a name)

   • Call Geocoding with name and optional language, countryCode, count.
   • Use the returned latitude, longitude, and timezone for subsequent calls.
