OpenWeather API q query parameter removal on GET /data/2.5/forecast/daily

Deprecated, no dateSubscribe to OpenWeather APIShare

OpenWeather has deprecated the query parameter q on GET /data/2.5/forecast/daily without a shutdown date. The built-in geocoder is still available for use, but bug fixes and updates are no longer provided. Eventually, unsupported calls will fail.


Calls it hits

  • GET /data/2.5/forecast/daily
  • query parameter q

What to use instead of these calls

Resolve the city name with the Geocoding API using /geo/1.0/direct or /geo/1.0/zip and call the endpoint with lat and lon instead.

In OpenWeather API's words

Please note that built-in geocoder has been deprecated. Although it is still available for use, bug fixing and updates are no longer available for this functionality.
