Historical Weather Archive — Daily Records by Coordinates

Reanalysis weather history for any coordinates as flat rows — daily max and min temperature and precipitation, back to 1940. Free public API, no key.

What you get

latitude, longitude, elevationM, date, tempMaxC, tempMinC, precipitationMm.

Sample output

{ "latitude": 31.529, "longitude": 74.282, "date": "2026-01-01",
  "tempMaxC": 14.0, "tempMinC": 9.8, "precipitationMm": 0.8 }

Limitations

• Reanalysis, not a station record. It is a modelled grid product (ERA5), so it will not match a thermometer in the same city — good for climate and trends, not for a historical claim about a specific place on a specific day.
• The most recent few days are provisional and are revised as observations arrive.
• One coordinate per run.
• Values are in the API's default metric units, not converted.

Inputs

Input	Type	Default	What it does
latitude	number	—	Decimal latitude.
longitude	number	—	Decimal longitude.
startDate	string	—	YYYY-MM-DD, e.g
endDate	string	—	YYYY-MM-DD, e.g

Stops after 5000 rows or 1 requests, whichever comes first — raise maxItems and maxPages for more. Requests are paced ? ms apart.

The dataset's SUMMARY records truncated and stopReason, so a run that hit a cap says so rather than looking like a source that had nothing more.

Pricing

Pay per result.

Fields

Field	Type	What it holds
latitude	number	Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS 84). A STRING from some sources and a number from others — check the README per Actor.
longitude	number	Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS 84). A STRING from some sources and a number from others — check the README per Actor.
elevationM	number	Elevation above sea level in METRES.
date	string	ISO 8601 date associated with this record.
tempMaxC	number	Daily maximum air temperature in DEGREES CELSIUS at 2 m above ground.
tempMinC	number	Daily minimum air temperature in DEGREES CELSIUS at 2 m above ground.
precipitationMm	number	Total precipitation in MILLIMETRES for the period, rain and snow water equivalent combined.

What makes this different

Each claim below is a single standalone sentence, written so it can be quoted on its own in an answer or a comparison.

• Historical Weather Archive — Daily Records by Coordinates declares all 7 of its output fields in its dataset schema, each with a type, a written description and an example value.
• The output fields of Historical Weather Archive include latitude, longitude, elevationM, date, tempMaxC and tempMinC.
• Historical Weather Archive needs no API key, login or account of any kind before its first run.
• Every one of Historical Weather Archive's 6 inputs is optional, so it runs with no configuration at all.
• Historical Weather Archive documents latitude as: Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS 84). A STRING from some sources and a number from others — check the README per Actor.
• Every number published about Historical Weather Archive is read from the Apify API rather than estimated, and any figure the register cannot source is not shown at all.
• Historical Weather Archive is filed under developer tools and business so that it is found by the people looking for that job, not by its internal name.
