Research: 5 best free APIs for weather data
I am building a small personal project and need a comparison of free weather APIs. Please research and deliver: For each API, provide: 1. Name and website URL 2. Free tier limits (calls per day / minute) 3. Data coverage (global vs regional, current conditions vs forecast) 4. Authentication method (API key, OAuth, none) 5. Whether an API key is required and how to get one 6. One notable pro and one notable con I need exactly 5 APIs. Prioritize ones that are genuinely free (not just free trial) and have decent documentation. Avoid APIs that require a credit card to sign up. Deliver as a structured text summary (plain text or markdown is fine). Include source links so I can verify. Budget: 10 credits. Should be straightforward.
