API suggestions #46

Beowulf commented 2022年09月07日 22:15:52 +02:00

I am looking for an alternative API to the OpenWeatherMap API and am currently really considering rewriting the app with Jetpack Compose and Material 3. (No guarantee as time is very limited.)
If you know of a free API (either completely free, or usable after creating an account (email, password - important no payment information)), please suggest it here.

Please write it (if possible) in the following format:

Open-Meteo

• Homepage: https://open-meteo.com/
• Documentation: https://open-meteo.com/en/docs
• No Acc needed

Have you looked at pirateweather.net? Looks like it might fit the bill.

OpenWeatherMap still says it's free for up to 1,000 calls per day.

One Call API 3.0
Subscribe to the new subscription plan "One Call by Call" and get all weather data for any coordinates with a single API call.
1,000 API calls per day for free

I guess you have to sign up, and if you go over 1,000 they charge you?

Not an issue if you manage to fix the bug causing all the excess calls.

(FYI it appears my key is no longer valid. Too many calls so they turned me off...?)

Yes and no:

1. The current app uses One Call API 1.0 not 3.0
2. Yes you get free access to OCA 3.0, but you need to enter your credit card information to use OCA 3.0
3. Yes they charge you, if you go over the limit (by default until you reach 2k calls)

(FYI it appears my key is no longer valid. Too many calls so they turned me off...?)

I don't know, you must ask OWM or check your account online 🤷‍♂️

I built an app using open-meteo instead of OpenWeatherMap.
Seems to work well.
No API key needed. Maybe someone wants to try...
