What is it?

 

The SRG-SSR Weather REST API allows you to get weather forecasts and reports from more than 25.000 locations across Switzerland.

After providing the decimal latitude and longitude parameters of the chosen location, the API sends a response that contains a JSON object with the weather forecast of the location for the chosen time period (current, hourly, daily, weekly).

Example value:

  • Zürich latitude: 47.36667
  • Zürich longitude: 8.5
