Hourly Forecasts

Overview

Hourly forecasts provide the latest weather updates during the day. We can use the endpoints discussed in this lesson to remain up-to-date with the changing weather over the course of the next few hours.

Hourly forecast endpoints

In this lesson, we learn how to retrieve the hourly weather forecast data for a particular location for the next hour, and for a period of the next 12 hours.

1 hour of hourly forecasts

To get hourly forecasts for the next hour, we make a GET request to the following URL:

http://dataservice.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/hourly/1hour/{locationKey}

12 hours of hourly forecasts

Similarly, for hourly forecasts for the next 12 hours, we make a GET request to the following URL:

http://dataservice.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/hourly/12hour/{locationKey}

Input parameters

The table below shows the list of input parameters for both endpoints.
