What it does

The actor takes a latitude and longitude, requests the Open-Meteo forecast for that point, and writes one normalized record per forecast day to the run's dataset. Each daily record carries the raw Open-Meteo daily metrics (temperature, precipitation, wind, UV, sun times) plus a decoded condition string for the WMO weather code and a block of current conditions at run time. Temperatures are in degrees Celsius, wind in km/h, and times in the location's local timezone.

Coverage is global: any latitude and longitude on Earth is supported.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns a 10-day forecast for Berlin.

{
  "maxDays": 10,
  "latitude": "52.52",
  "longitude": "13.41"
}

Every input field is optional; with an empty input the actor returns the forecast for the default coordinates (Berlin).

Input reference

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~open-meteo-weather-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"latitude":"40.71","longitude":"-74.01","maxDays":7}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~open-meteo-weather-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"latitude":"-34.60","longitude":"-58.38","maxDays":16}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/open-meteo-weather-scraper \
  --input '{"latitude":"51.51","longitude":"-0.13"}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per forecast day returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. If the forecast request fails, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher maxDays.
• Forecast horizon. Open-Meteo provides up to 16 days of daily forecast; values above that return the maximum available.

FAQ and troubleshooting

What coordinates should I use? Any latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. For example, Berlin is 52.52 / 13.41, New York is 40.71 / -74.01, Buenos Aires is -34.60 / -58.38.

What units are the values in? Temperatures in degrees Celsius, wind in km/h, precipitation in mm, durations in seconds, and times in the location's local timezone.

What does weatherCode mean? It is the WMO weather interpretation code. The actor decodes it into a readable condition string (and currentCondition for the current block) so you do not have to map codes yourself.

How many days can I get? Up to 16 daily forecast records per location, one dataset item each. Set maxDays to control how many.
