The Meteo API V1 is marked as deprecated. You have one year to migrate your applications to V2.
The new Meteo V2 API does not support the `type` filter anymore
Please note If you apply for a freemium package, you need to confirm that it is only for research and development purposes and not for commercial use. If you violate this condition, you would risk losing access to the API.
The SRF Weather REST API allows you to get weather forecasts.
After providing either of name, zip code or decimal latitude and longitude parameters of the chosen location, the API sends a response that contains a JSON object based on the request with the weather forecast of the location for the chosen time period (hourly, daily).
The new Meteo V2 supports:
Perceived temperature (1h, 3h)
Fresh snow (1h, 3h)
Sunshine duration (1h, 3h, day)
UV index (1h, 3h, day)
Relative humidity (1h, 3h)
Mean Sealevel Pressure (1h, 3h)
Dewpoint (1h, 3h)
Irradiance (1h, 3h)
We offer the options of receiving weather data for the next 5 days with hourly forecasts for each individual day, or one single core statement per day for 5 days (no hourly progression). Both options include parameters like "Sun, Wind, Temperature, Precipitation".
SRG SSR Weather API provides you with weather data from all over Switzerland.
Use the received data on your websites, or in your apps to provide reliable weather forecast for your customers.
Do you want to get a weather forecast feature on your site or in your app? Do you want to provide a possibility to check if the weather is suitable for planned activities? SRF Weather API can help!
This API consists of a bunch of GET methods that you can request for weather data of a particular location of Switzerland applied for a given time frame. After successful authorization, the API sends back the requested data as a JSON object.
Important: the geolocationId is an identifier that must first be obtained via the name / the postal code or the radius search (since we do not offer a forecast for all points in CH). We do not have every point in CH in our forecast data. So it is not enough to simply round any geo-coordinates. To find geolocationIds you can:
- use the radius search for a point (/geolocations?latitude=47.3797111&longitude=8.5342111)
- search by zip code or name
We provide sample data record for the "Weekly" and "Hourly" for better understanding what data is included.
Confidence: only for precipitation we have the probabilities
Updates: basically all data are updated every 6 hours. There are no fixed times as the calculations take different times from run to run. And data in the short term (next hours) data can be updated every few minutes.
Day-Icons and Hourly-icons are calculated separately, so no formula for Day-icon from Hour-icons.
If you’d like to use SRF Weather API, follow these three steps to get started.
1. Register and login
You need to be a registered user to access to SRG-SSR APIs. Log in after registration.
2. Create an App
On your dashboard, create an application that will use the API.
For standard access and most use-cases you can use the product SRG SSR PUBLIC API V2.
3. Get an API key
Your application has an API key that authorize you to use the API. You can find it on the page of the application.
No next development steps are planned. Do you have inputs? Get in touch via meteo.api@srgssr.ch
