When to use it

• Weather now, or forecasts from minute-by-minute rain (next two hours) to daily forecasts (sixteen days).
• Severe-weather alerts from national services, polled or pushed to a webhook.
• Decisions that depend on the weather: frost risk, spray windows, soil conditions, lightning nearby.
• Also: air quality and pollen, marine (waves, tides, sea temperature), aviation (METAR, TAF), tropical cyclones, solar and wind resource, radar and satellite tiles, history back to 1940.
• Not for: forecasts beyond sixteen days, or an official aviation briefing.

Request basics

• Base URL: https://api.weather.example/v2.
• Auth: Authorization: Bearer <key>. Keys starting wx_test_ are free and return realistic fixed data; wx_live_ keys are billed. Read the key from WEATHER_API_KEY; never print it.
• Times are UTC; units are metric unless you pass units=imperial.
• Versions: v2 is current. v1 stops responding on 2026-12-31; don't write new v1 code. https://demo.nimbus-docs.com/concepts/versioning/index.md
• Errors share one shape, {"error": {"type", "code", "message", "request_id"}}. Retry 429 after Retry-After seconds, and 500 with backoff. https://demo.nimbus-docs.com/concepts/errors/index.md
• Lists paginate with cursor: pass the previous response's next_cursor. https://demo.nimbus-docs.com/concepts/pagination/index.md
