I respect and appreciate no API key being needed, but how will you prevent excessive usage? I'll just say that it's been a battle on my end to stop people abusing APIs I deploy. It's why we can't have nice things.

Do you know an open-data source for ocean visibility data? I want to integrate regular wave forecasts in the next month, but I am unaware of something that can improve dive visibility.
Dive visibility is actually quite hard to forecast (at least in the areas I dive) and I don't know if there have been empirical studies on it. Anecdotally I find it's best when the wind is offshore and there is low tidal movement. But there are other factors at play, such as rainfall, etc.. This is one source I found (for wave height): https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/en/data/products.html , however it was not clear on…

I've investigated and tried several (free) weather API's for my web app: https://uw.leftium.com . Open-Meteo looks pretty good! The only thing that seems to be missing for me is precipitation probability. The weathercode is sort of a proxy for this... I'm also interested in sunrise/sunset times; direct_radiation is kind of a proxy for this. Kudos for providing optional historical data with the same API call for the f…
Just as a note regarding extra calls for weather APIs for historical, there is generally a good reason (coming from someone who built a global weather/energy API). A) Using Numeric Weather Prediction models (NWP) data as 'historical' data is highly dependent on use case. For some application, this is totally fine and the best available data but with more rapid observation satellites becoming quite low latency, using…

Thanks for your suggestions! I will add precipitation probability as soon as I include 14-day ensemble weather models. Deterministic whether models usually do not offer this directly. I also really like the 2 days historical access :) At some point I would like to add more, but the storage requirements skyrocket quickly. Not only in space, but also disk IO to perform in-place updates. For air quality data I want to a…
I currently build ensemble based modelling solutions for bushfire/wildfire. Weather is a significant component in how fire behaves and is forecast. Whilst I have access commercially to several models and meteorologists through work I'd be keen on chatting with you a little further about the possibility of including fire weather metrics in your forecasts, or at least using the data in bulk if possible to include in my own public facing project.

Do you offer historical data?
Currently only the past 2 days are available. To add more historical data is in the backlog [0]. Do you have an application in mind? Which weather variables over which timeframe? [0] https://github.com/open-meteo/open-meteo/issues/27
I've seen pages like Weather Spark that give you historical averages, but I would like to see how the weather has (or not) changed over a long period.
