Weather stations enable world’s highest precision
A Robust API for Demanding Applications
Advanced Filtering & Location Queries
Pinpoint the exact data you need with powerful and flexible queries. Filter data by specific stations or a geographic region (latitude/longitude box). You can also instantly find the geographically closest measurement station to any coordinate.
Global Coverage & Full Metadata Access
Access real-time and historical measurements from a global network of trusted providers such as NOAA and DWD. The API allows you to retrieve complete station metadata, select stations based on coverage and gapless time steps, and access weather time series for specific stations or geographic areas.
Built-in Quality Control & Processing
Receive clean, validated and quality controlled data, along with built-in unit conversion. This powerful combination significantly reduces the need for manual data cleaning.
Simplified Integration & Multi-Format Output
Integrate weather station data faster with an improved developer experience. The API uses simple, easy-to-understand variable names and delivers data in multiple formats: JSON, CSV, XLSX, GeoJSON, and Protobuf.
Solar-Log has relied on meteoblue for many years to make accurate photovoltaic power forecasts with their proprietary weather simulation models. We utilise the meteoblue data for site analyses, site- and area-specific solar power forecasts, as well as services for energy trading per se.

Frequently Asked Questions
The meteoblue Measurements API provides real-world weather observations from a global network of ground stations, giving you the measured "ground truth" behind the weather. It delivers real-time and historical readings from more than 250,000 stations worldwide, with quality control, flexible filtering, and multiple output formats, so you can validate forecasts, monitor conditions, and feed reliable data into your models.
The Measurements API provides real-time and historical measurements recorded at physical weather stations, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and pressure. You retrieve the data as time series for individual stations or for a whole geographic area, and each provider's exact set of available parameters can be discovered before you request data. Because the values come from instruments on the ground, they serve as an independent reference for forecasts and models.
The Measurements API lets you target exactly the data you need. Query one or more stations by ID, or pass a latitude/longitude bounding box to pull every station in an area. You can also find the nearest station to any coordinate, choose which fields to return, request only the latest values, and set a UTC time range, with pagination for large exports.
Access is authenticated with a meteoblue API key, and usage is billed in credits. Lightweight calls such as listing providers, reading station metadata, and nearest-station lookups cost a small fixed number of credits, while measurement values are charged per value, with quality-controlled data costing more than raw.
