OpenWeather API

These are the OpenWeather API actions available to the apps you build with Snow. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

• Get Current Weather

  Tool to retrieve current weather data for a location. Use when you need up-to-the-minute weather info. Exactly one location identifier must be provided per call: either `q`, `id`, `zip`, or the pair `lat`+`lon`. Passing multiple identifiers causes errors or ambiguous matches.

• Get Direct Geocoding

  Tool to convert a location name into geographic coordinates. Use when you need latitude and longitude for a given location after confirming the precise name.

• Get Geocoding by Zip Code

  Tool to convert zip/post code into geographic coordinates. Use when you need latitude and longitude for a specific postal code.

• Get Reverse Geocoding

  Tool to convert geographic coordinates into a location name. Use when you need city, state, and country info from latitude and longitude.

• Add Weather Station

  Tool to add a new weather station to your account. Use when you need to register a station before sending custom data.

• Delete Weather Station

  Tool to delete a registered weather station. Use after identifying a station to remove. Returns confirmation message upon success.

• Get 5 Day Forecast

  Tool to get a 5-day forecast every 3 hours (up to 40 UTC timestamps). Exactly one location identifier required per call: `q`, `id`, `zip`, or `lat`+`lon` pair. Use `city.timezone` offset to convert timestamps to local time before grouping into daily summaries.

• Get Air Pollution Forecast

  Tool to get forecasted air pollution data for a specific location. Use after confirming latitude and longitude. Forecast availability may be limited for remote or oceanic coordinates; verify response timestamps to confirm returned data represents a true forecast rather than a current snapshot.

• Get Air Pollution History

  Tool to retrieve historical air pollution data. Use when you need past air quality levels for a specific latitude/longitude and time range.

• Get Circle City Weather

  Tool to search for current weather data in cities around a geographic point. Use when you need to fetch weather within a radius circle after confirming latitude and longitude.

• Get Current Air Pollution Data

  Tool to fetch current air pollution data for a location. Use when you need real-time air quality details by latitude and longitude.

• Get Current UV Index

  Tool to retrieve current UV index for a location. Use when you need up-to-the-minute UV index by latitude and longitude.

• Get Station Measurements

  Tool to retrieve aggregated measurements from a weather station with minute, hour, or day granularity. Use when you need historical weather data from a specific registered station.

• Get UV Index Forecast

  Tool to retrieve UV index forecast for a specific location. Use when you need upcoming UV index values after confirming latitude and longitude. Returns up to 8 days of data. Data may be sparse or absent for ocean and remote locations; an empty response means no data available, not safe UV conditions.

• Get UV Index History

  Tool to retrieve historical UV index data for a specified location and time range. Use when you need to analyze past UV exposure trends after confirming coordinates and time period.

• Get Weather Map Tile (2.0)

  Tool to fetch Weather Maps 2.0 tile images. Use when you need dynamic weather layers at specific zoom and coordinates with advanced styling options.

• Get Weather Station

  Tool to get information about a specific weather station by its ID. Use when you need details about a particular station.

• Get Weather Stations

  Tool to list all weather stations added to your account. Use after setting up your OpenWeather API key.

• Get Weather Triggers

  Tool to retrieve weather triggers for specific conditions. Use after defining trigger criteria.

• Submit Station Measurements

  Tool to submit weather measurements from a registered station. Use when you need to send temperature, wind, pressure, humidity, or precipitation data for a station.

• Update Weather Station

  Tool to update weather station details. Use when you need to modify the name, location, or external ID of an existing station.
