MinuteCast™ quick-start

AccuWeather's MinuteCast™ API provides access to minute-by-minute forecast data from around the world. Let's make a call to the 120-minute endpoint.

First we need geographical coordinates for our forecast location. The MinuteCast™ API accepts any coordinate pair, but let's use the coordinates for New York City to start: 40.7127°N 74.0059°W.

Now we can get the MinuteCast™ forecast by making a GET request to https://dataservice-dev.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/minute?q=40.7127,74.0059 and sending your API key. You can use our test console below to call the API right now (log in to get your free API key if you haven't already).
