How this service works
Returns comprehensive hourly precipitation data for the given time range and location(s). Each hour includes precipitation amount, type (rain/snow/mixed), probability (for forecasts), and data source. Seamlessly combines historical observations with forecast data depending on the requested time range. | ERROR: Unable to calculate price.
Output
A structured JSON response with hourly records for each requested location, where each record includes the hour timestamp, precipitation amount (in mm or inches), precipitation type (rain, snow, or mixed), probability (percentage, for forecast hours), and the data source (historical observation vs. forecast model). Multiple locations are returned in parallel arrays corresponding to the input lat/lon pairs.
Example use cases
Event planning rain check
“I'm organizing an outdoor wedding in Boston on July 15, 2025. Can you pull hourly precipitation data for Boston (latitude 42.35355, longitude -71.06053) for the full week leading up to and including July 15, so I can see the rain probability and type for each hour of the day?”
Historical flood analysis
“I need to review how much rain fell hour by hour in New Orleans (latitude 29.97991, longitude -90.07447) during August 28 through September 2, 2023. Please include precipitation amounts and types for each hour so I can analyze the storm event.”
Multi-city logistics weather check
“Can you fetch hourly precipitation forecasts for the next 5 days for three cities — San Francisco (37.7575, -122.42616), Chicago (41.8781, -87.6298), and New York (40.7128, -74.0060) — so I can plan which delivery routes might be affected by rain or snow?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.orthogonal.com/precip/api/v1/hourlyWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need hour-by-hour precipitation detail (not just daily summaries) and especially when your time range spans both past and future — it automatically blends historical observations with forecast data so you don't need two separate API calls. It also supports querying multiple geographic coordinates in a single request, making it efficient for multi-location workflows. Prefer this over general weather APIs when precipitation specifics (amount, type, probability) are the primary data need.
Side effects
- Missing required latitude or longitude parameters returns a 400 error
- Malformed date strings for start or end cause a 400 validation error
- Requesting an extremely long date range may result in timeout or truncated data
- Invalid timezone ID returns an error or falls back to UTC
- Mismatched number of latitude and longitude values causes a parameter error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents access to data
