## 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 Forecast & Alerts: Any City, 9 Days, Bulk

**Get weather forecasts for many places at once.** Enter city names (like `London, UK`, `Austin, TX` or `Tokyo`) or coordinates (`40.71, -74.00`) and get, for each location:

- **Current conditions**: temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, pressure, cloud cover and conditions
- **Daily forecast for up to 9 days**: low and high temperature, total rain or snow (mm), max wind, average humidity and the main conditions (clear sky, rain showers, snow...)
- **Optional hourly forecast** for about the next 60 hours
- **Active U.S. weather alerts** from the National Weather Service (storms, heat, floods, air quality)

Forecasts come from **MET Norway**, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, whose free global forecast API is licensed for commercial use. U.S. alerts come from the official **National Weather Service API**. City names are matched against a built-in list of about 15,000 cities (GeoNames, CC BY 4.0), so lookups are instant.

### Who is it for?

- **Logistics, delivery and field-service teams**: plan routes and crews around rain, wind and heat.
- **Event organizers, outdoor businesses and agriculture**: check many sites every morning on a schedule.
- **E-commerce and marketing**: trigger weather-based campaigns (umbrellas when it rains, ice cream when it's hot).
- **Travel sites, apps and AI agents**: add a forecast feed without signing up for a weather API.

### How to use it

1. Add your **locations**: one per line.
2. Choose the **number of days**, **units** (°C or °F) and whether you want **hourly** data and **U.S. alerts**.
3. Click **Start**, then export to Excel, CSV or JSON. Schedule it daily for a morning weather report.

### Input example

```json
{
  "locations": ["London, UK", "Austin, TX", "Tokyo", "-33.87, 151.21"],
  "days": 7,
  "units": "metric",
  "includeHourly": false,
  "includeUsAlerts": true
}
```

### Output example

```json
{
  "input": "Austin, TX",
  "name": "Austin",
  "country": "US",
  "region": "Texas",
  "lat": 30.2672,
  "lon": -97.7431,
  "timezone": "America/Chicago",
  "temperatureUnit": "°C",
  "current": {"temperature": 20.6, "humidity": 55.1, "windSpeed": 2.3, "conditions": "clear sky"},
  "daily": [
    {"date": "2026-10-22", "tempMin": 20.3, "tempMax": 28.2, "precipitationMm": 0, "maxWindSpeed": 4.1, "avgHumidity": 41, "conditions": "clear sky"}
  ],
  "alerts": [],
  "source": "MET Norway (api.met.no), CC BY 4.0"
}
```

### How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event: a small fee **per location** forecast, plus a tiny per-run start fee, with no subscription and no separate platform usage costs. For example, 1,000 location forecasts cost about $2. Locations that can't be found are **not charged**. Set **Maximum cost per run** to cap your spending.

### Good to know

- Coordinates use local UTC dates; city names use the city's own time zone for daily totals.
- Weather alerts are only available for U.S. locations (National Weather Service).

### Use it through the API, integrations or AI agents

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack. AI agents can call it through the Apify MCP server.

### FAQ

**Is it legal?** Yes. MET Norway's forecast data is free to use, including commercially, with attribution (each row includes the source). National Weather Service data is public domain.

**How accurate is it?** It's the same model data used by yr.no, one of Europe's most popular weather services, updated several times a day.

**Found a bug or need a feature?** Open an issue. We usually reply within 24 hours.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{

    "New York, US",
    "Tokyo"
  ]

apify call pankajbhatia/weather-forecast-alerts --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
