Getting Started

This API requires an API key for authentication. Here's how to get started:

Sign up — Visit the API's website and create a free account.
Get your key — After signing up, you'll receive a unique API key (usually found in your dashboard or account settings).
Include it in requests — Add your API key to each request, typically as a query parameter (?api_key=YOUR_KEY) or in the request header (Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY). Check the API's documentation for the exact format.

API keys are free for most public APIs. They're used to identify your application and enforce rate limits — not to charge you.

CORS Support

This API does not support CORS, so you'll need to call it from a server-side application or use a proxy. Direct browser requests will be blocked by the browser's same-origin policy.

Quick Example

// Using cURL
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" https://yandex.com/dev/weather/

// Using JavaScript fetch()
const response = await fetch(apiUrl, {
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();

Frequently Asked Questions

What weather data does Yandex.Weather provide?

Yandex.Weather is a weather API that can provide meteorological data such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, precipitation, and forecasts. The exact data fields depend on the API's endpoints — check the documentation for a full list of available weather parameters. Many weather APIs also provide UV index, air quality, and severe weather alerts.

Can I get historical weather data from Yandex.Weather?

Historical weather data availability varies by API. Some weather APIs like Yandex.Weather offer historical records going back years, while others focus only on current conditions and forecasts. Check the API documentation to see if historical endpoints are available and whether they require a different plan or rate limit.

How accurate are the forecasts from Yandex.Weather?

Weather API accuracy depends on the data sources the provider uses (e.g., government stations, satellites, radar). Short-term forecasts (1-3 days) are generally reliable across most weather APIs, while extended forecasts become less accurate. Yandex.Weather may source data from national weather services or proprietary models — see their documentation for details on data sources and update frequency.

Does Yandex.Weather support location-based weather lookups?

Most weather APIs support lookups by geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude), city name, or zip code. Yandex.Weather likely supports at least one of these methods. Coordinate-based lookups tend to be the most precise. Check the Weather category for other weather APIs if you need a specific lookup method.

Is Yandex.Weather free to use?

Yes, Yandex.Weather is listed as a free public API. You will need to create a free account to get an API key, but the key itself is free. Some APIs have rate limits on their free tier, so check the official documentation for current limits.

Is Yandex.Weather still working in 2026?

Yes! According to our most recent health check (Yandex.Weather's last ping: 2026-04-01 13:44:04), this API is responding normally. We periodically verify all listed APIs to ensure they are still online and functioning.
