Un vero motore di previsione, non un proxy
SkiesAtlas non si limita a inoltrare dati di terzi. Acquisiamo l'output grezzo dei modelli numerici, lo decodifichiamo, scegliamo il modello migliore per ogni coordinata e lo unifichiamo in un'API pulita e coerente, servita in meno di 200 ms.
1 · Acquisizione
Preleviamo l'output GRIB grezzo direttamente dai principali centri meteo mondiali, a ogni esecuzione del modello.
2 · Instradamento
Per ogni coordinata selezioniamo il modello a più alta risoluzione disponibile: ICON-D2 2 km, HRRR 3 km o ECMWF 9 km ovunque. Automatico e trasparente.
3 · Unificazione
Sei formati di modello diversi diventano un unico schema JSON prevedibile: gli stessi nomi di campo ovunque, unità metriche e timestamp ISO.
4 · Distribuzione
Una cache aggressiva per esecuzione fornisce risposte in meno di 200 ms, con fallback automatico agli ultimi dati affinché la tua app non resti mai al buio.
Fonti di dati e licenze
Dietro le quinte decodifichiamo e combiniamo questi modelli meteo e oceanici ufficiali, con licenza aperta, in un'unica API.

Precisione di cui fidarsi
Ci basiamo sulla migliore scienza disponibile e ci verifichiamo costantemente.
Modelli di primo livello
ECMWF IFS è costantemente considerato il modello globale più preciso al mondo. Lo usiamo come base mondiale e vi sovrapponiamo modelli regionali ad alta risoluzione.
Validato di continuo
Ogni poche ore confrontiamo i nostri risultati con previsioni di riferimento indipendenti su oltre 20 città nel mondo per individuare tempestivamente ogni deriva.
Aggiornato tutto il giorno
I modelli si aggiornano fino a quattro volte al giorno (00/06/12/18 UTC). Il nostro motore riacquisisce ogni esecuzione automaticamente, così hai sempre la previsione più recente.
Live forecast accuracy
● verified continuouslyMean absolute temperature error (°C) vs real METAR observations at 1130 global stations — lower is better. Our backbone ECMWF-AIFS and the multi-model BLEND lead the field.

Autenticazione & Limiti di richieste
Autenticazione
Trasmetti la tua chiave API nell'header X-API-Key (consigliato) o come parametro api_key.
Limiti di richieste
Ogni risposta indica il tuo utilizzo negli header. Superare la quota restituisce 429 Too Many Requests: attendi prima di riprovare.
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
X-RateLimit-Limit | Your daily request limit (paid plans). |
X-RateLimit-Remaining | Requests left today. |
| Plan | Quota | HTTP on exceed |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 500 requests / day | 429 |
| Basic | 10,000 requests / day | 429 |

| Pro | 200,000 requests / day | 429 |
| Business | 1,000,000 requests / day | 429 |
Quotas reset every day at 00:00 UTC, on the free plan too. A 402 is different: it means the endpoint itself requires a higher plan (/nowcast needs Starter or above; /batch, /history, /radar, /lightning, /probabilities, /alerts and /route need Pro or above).

Domande frequenti
Facciamo girare un nostro motore sopra i migliori modelli aperti al mondo: ECMWF IFS, DWD ICON, NOAA GFS/HRRR, WaveWatch III, Copernicus CAMS e MUR SST. Decodifichiamo l'output grezzo, instradiamo ogni richiesta al modello a più alta risoluzione per quella località e restituiamo un'unica risposta pulita e coerente. Ottieni un prodotto vero, non sei flussi grezzi da assemblare da solo.
Usiamo ECMWF IFS — considerato il modello globale più preciso al mondo — come base, più modelli regionali ad alta risoluzione (2–3 km) dove disponibili. Validiamo di continuo rispetto a riferimenti indipendenti, con uno scarto tipico di circa 0,6 °C sulla temperatura.
