2px;">BETA</span></h2> <p> The weatherUSA Weather API is a simple-to-use REST/KVP interface for retrieving weather data primarily for locations across the United States, although current conditions are available worldwide. Some weather API providers only provide data every hour or less; our API provides <b>real-time</b> data for critical local information including mesonet (weather station) observations and severe weather alerts.</p> <p>Real-time weather, historical weather, forecasts, and climate information are available via the API. The API accepts standard HTTP requests and returns standard HTTP response codes and JSON response messages for most endpoints. User management (for alerts & notifications), custom, and batch processing endpoints are also available by request. </p> <p> <a class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" href="/services/weather-api/docs">View API usage & docs</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="service-feature-detail row"> <div class="col-xs-12"> <h2>Data Feeds & Pricing Packages</h2> <div class="alert alert-info"> Need <b>custom or enterprise</b> access?
