Show HN: Weather forecast API? More accurate with multiple models and ML
meteosource.comHi HN, I started running an amateur weather forecast website 20 years ago as a hobby, and later turned it into a professional service during my studies. More recently, we built an advanced weather API after noticing that most existing APIs simply repackage NOAA data and miss key variables.
To improve accuracy, our forecasts pull from multiple sources and use proprietary numerical weather models, learning from historical data to reduce bias. This includes hyper-local forecasts, where each point is calculated based on surrounding data.
Getting the most accurate data possible sounds like something worth paying for and your pricing seems fair.
However, the API docs are hard to follow. It would be much easier if there was an OpenAPI spec displayed with Swagger UI or Redoc.
I would also recommend changing "Wrapper easy to use libraries" to "Language specific SDKs" since that's the more standard terminology.

I would love to hear your thoughts – what do you look for in a weather API?
