## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Weather Scraper (Open-Meteo) – Forecast & Historical Data

**Get clean weather data by city or coordinates: current conditions, up to a 16-day daily forecast, and decades of historical archive — temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity and weather codes. As JSON, CSV or Excel. Free, no key, no proxy.**

### 💵 Pricing

**Pay per result — $0.0004 per item (~$0.40 per 1,000 locations).** No subscription, no proxy needed. You only pay for the locations you scrape, and new Apify accounts include free monthly credits so you can test it for **$0**.

### 🔎 What can it extract?

- **Current conditions** — temperature, humidity, wind speed, weather code
- **Daily forecast** — up to 16 days of max/min temperature, precipitation and weather code
- **Historical archive** — daily temperature and precipitation for any past date range
- **Geocoding built in** — pass a city name, get back lat/lon + country automatically
- Query by city name **or** raw coordinates

### 🚀 How do I use it?

1. Click **Try for free**.
2. Set the input (see example below).
3. Click **Start** and download results as JSON, CSV or Excel — or pull them via the API / schedule them.

### ⚙️ Input example

```json
{
  "mode": "cities",
  "cities": ["Berlin", "Tokyo"],
  "forecastDays": 7
}
```

Coordinates mode: `{ "mode": "coordinates", "coordinates": ["52.52,13.41"] }`
Historical mode: `{ "mode": "historical", "cities": ["Berlin"], "startDate": "2024-01-01", "endDate": "2024-01-31" }`

### 📦 Output example

```json
{
  "location": "Berlin",
  "latitude": 52.52,
  "longitude": 13.41,
  "country": "Germany",
  "timezone": "Europe/Berlin",
  "current_temperature": 21.3,
  "current_humidity": 60,
  "current_weather_code": 3,
  "current_wind_speed": 12.5,
  "daily": [
    { "date": "2026-06-30", "temp_max": 24.0, "temp_min": 13.0, "precipitation": 0.0, "weather_code": 3 }
  ],
  "scraped_at": "2026-06-30T08:00:00+00:00"
}
```

### 🎯 Use cases

- **Dashboards** — live weather widgets and BI reports
- **Logistics** — route and delivery planning around conditions
- **Agriculture** — irrigation, frost and harvest scheduling
- **Travel** — trip planners and destination forecasts

### 💰 How much will it cost?

You pay only the per-result price (no proxy cost):
100 → ~$0.04 · 1,000 → ~$0.40 · 10,000 → ~$4

### 🆚 Why this one

| Feature | This actor | Others |

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ninhothedev/weather-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
