Point API: How many API calls do I need?

With our standard packages, an API call for a single location provides the weather forecast for the next few days in various time resolutions, as well as current weather and astronomical data (depending on the data package).

Example: The updated weather forecast for the next few days is called up four times a day for 100 locations. Then approx. 100 (locations) x 4 (updates) x 30 (days/month) = 12,000 API calls will be required per month.

Maps API: How many API calls do I need?

An API call enables access to a “weather tile”. This corresponds to a 256 x 256 pixel segment of the weather map for a specific point in time. Depending on the device, a map on the screen is made up of approx. 15-20 tiles. The map is rebuilt when a user changes the parameter, the zoom level, the geographical section or the forecast time. It can be assumed that on an average visit, a user looks at 5 weather maps and downloads approx. 100 tiles.

Example: 1,000 users use your weather map application ten times a month and view 5 different map views each time. Then approx. 1,000 (users) x 10 (page visits per month) x 100 (estimated value for tiles/visit) = 1 million tiles (= API calls) are required per month.

Hist API: Price of data packages (one-time query) The price of data packages for historical weather data (one-time query) is made up of a set price and the cost of the required data volume. This depends on the number of desired data points/locations, the number of data years and the number of required weather parameters.

The price curve flattens out considerably when larger quantities of data are ordered. To find out the exact price of your required data, select the country and the desired temporal resolution of the data in the following table.

Finally, you will be taken to the order page for historical weather data, where the package price will be displayed according to your entries.

Hist API: How many API calls do I need? An API call allows access to the daily updated historical weather information of the last week/month for a single location. When retrieving data in daily resolution (incl. max/min values), one API call is sufficient for all weather parameters, whereas for data in hourly resolution, a separate API call is required for each weather parameter.

Example: The hourly weather data for air temperature and humidity for 50 locations is to be updated once a day. Then 50 (locations) x 2 (number of parameters) x 30 (days/month) = 3000 API calls are required per month.
