The weather API allows you to fetch forecasts for any coordinate in a simple, programmatic way using conventional HTTP requests. Below is an example on how you can call the API using JavaScript or Python:
Javascript
fetch('https://api.stormglass.io/point?lat=58.5&lng=17.8', {
headers: {
'Authentication-Token': 'YOUR API KEY' // Get your key by signing up
}
}).then(function(response) {
// Do something with response data.
var jsonData = response.json();
});
Python
import requests
response = requests.get(
'https://api.stormglass.io/point?lat=58.5&lng=17.8',
headers={
'Authentication-Token': 'YOUR API KEY' # Get your key by signing up
}
)
# Do something with response data.
json_data = response.json()
When a request is successful, a response will be sent back in the form of a JSON object.
