What is it?

 

The SRG-SSR Weather REST API  (commercial use) allows you to get weather forecasts.

After providing the decimal latitude and longitude parameters of the chosen location, the API sends a response that contains a JSON or CSV object based on the request with the weather forecast of the location for the chosen time period (hourly, 5 day).

Example value:

  • Zürich latitude: 47.36667
  • Zürich longitude: 8.5

Why use it?

  • Easy integration
  • Wide coverage in Switzerland
  • Weather forecast by the location of choice

How it works?

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/CSV object.

In the interest of the customer, we would like to provide interested companies with a so-called sample data record for the "Weekly" and "Hourly" options before they log in, so that they can better understand what data is included.
