🌦️ Weather Forecast Scraper — Multi-Day Forecasts, Current Conditions & Historical Data

Bulk-extract weather forecasts and current conditions for any global location: temperature high / low, humidity, wind speed + direction, precipitation probability + accumulation, UV index, dew point, cloud cover, pressure, multi-day outlook (up to 14 days), and historical observations. A pay-per-result alternative to OpenWeather API ($0-180/mo), Weather.com Enterprise, AccuWeather, and Tomorrow.io — designed for agtech founders timing planting + spraying, logistics ops routing around storms, event planners advising on outdoor risk, and insurers pricing weather-linked policies.

Why Weather Forecast Scraper Beats OpenWeather, Weather.com, AccuWeather & Tomorrow.io

Feature	NexGenData Weather Scraper	OpenWeather API	Weather.com Enterprise	AccuWeather API	Tomorrow.io
Cost	$2 per 1K forecasts, pay-per-event	Free (60/min) - $180/mo	$$$$ enterprise quote	$25-1000+ / month	$0 (limited) - $$ / month
14-day forecast	Yes	Yes (paid tier)	Yes	Yes (paid tier)	Yes (paid tier)
Hourly granularity	Yes — 48h hourly	Yes (paid)	Yes	Yes (paid)	Yes (paid)
Historical observations	Yes — back 5+ years	Plan-gated	Plan-gated	Plan-gated	Plan-gated

Monthly minimum	None	$0-180+	$$$$	$25+	Plan-based

Most agtech + logistics teams pick this actor instead of OpenWeather paid tier because they only need bulk forecasts once or twice a day for many locations — cheaper than Tomorrow.io for non-real-time use cases and drop-in compatible with the JSON shape developers already know from OpenWeather.

What You Get Per Location

Each dataset item is a flat record:

• location — {name, country, lat, lon, timezone, elevation_m}
• current — {temp_c, temp_f, feels_like, humidity, wind_kph, wind_dir, condition, icon, pressure_mb, dew_point_c, cloud_pct, uv_index, observed_at}
• hourly[] — 48-hour hourly forecast objects
• daily[] — up to 14-day daily forecast with {date, temp_high, temp_low, condition, precip_probability, precip_mm, sunrise, sunset, moon_phase, uv_max}
• alerts[] — severe-weather alerts {title, severity, areas, effective, expires, description}
• air_quality — {aqi, pm25, pm10, o3, no2, so2, co} when available
• historical[] — daily aggregates for the trailing N days (configurable)
• last_updated_utc

Use Cases

• Agtech platforms — pull daily forecasts for every grower's field to power planting and spraying advice
• Logistics ops — route truck dispatches around storms by joining shipping lanes with severe-weather alerts
• Event planners — pre-event 14-day risk view for outdoor venues; trigger cancellation playbook automatically
• Insurance underwriting — score historical exposure for parametric weather products
• Retail demand forecasting — feed temperature + precipitation into a regression for next-week sales by store
• Construction PMs — schedule pours and crane work around precipitation windows

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/weather-forecast-scraper").call(run_input={

    ],
    "forecastDays": 14,
    "includeHourly": True,
    "includeAlerts": True
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["location"]["name"], item["current"]["temp_c"], item["daily"][0]["precip_probability"])

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

• Actor Start: small fixed charge per run (memory-scaled)

FAQ

What's the source of the forecast data? A blended forecast assembled from publicly available NOAA, ECMWF, MeteoFrance, and JMA model outputs plus official observation stations.

How accurate is the 14-day outlook? Beyond 7 days, forecasts are best treated as scenarios rather than point predictions — this is a property of physics, not the API.

Can I geocode by city name or postal code? Yes — pass name and the actor geocodes to lat/lon internally.

Output formats? JSON, CSV, Excel, and the Apify dataset API.

Is this legal? Yes. All upstream weather model data is publicly published by national meteorological agencies.

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result / item: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform
