Weather Forecast Scraper — Open-Meteo

Weather forecasts for any location worldwide — by plain city name (auto-geocoded) or coordinates. Current conditions plus daily and hourly temperature, precipitation, wind, weather code, sunrise/sunset and more. Free, keyless, no proxies.

Built on the Open-Meteo API with built-in geocoding, so you can pass "London" instead of hunting for latitude/longitude — a real UX edge over raw-API scrapers. One clean result object per location.

What you get

One result per location, with the forecast nested inside:

• Location & geo — resolved location, country, admin1, latitude, longitude, timezone, elevation
• Current weather — current block (temperature, windspeed, wind direction, weather code, time)
• Daily forecast — array of per-day objects; defaults to temp max/min, precipitation sum, weather code, max wind, sunrise/sunset. Add any Open-Meteo daily variable (e.g. uv_index_max, windgusts_10m_max)
• Hourly forecast (optional) — array of per-hour objects for any hourly variables you request (temperature_2m, relativehumidity_2m, precipitation, windspeed_10m, …)
• Units metadata — dailyUnits so every number is unambiguous
• Configurable temperature unit, wind-speed unit, forecast horizon (up to 16 days) and past days (up to 92)
