openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: LOCATION | a Weather Source API description: | **Description:** Geospatial metadata for latitude/longitude points, ZIP/Postal Codes, Designated Market Areas, and OnPoint™ points. Weather Source APIs are built upon the [OnPoint™ Platform](https://www.pelmorex.com/en/products-and-solutions/weather-source/onpoint-weather-data-suite/) which ensures data that is gap-free, homogeneous, and ready for immediate analysis. We offer one of the highest resolution grids on the market, covering every landmass in the world and up to 200 miles offshore. **Authorization:** Requests are authorized by a header named `X-API-KEY` with a value of your API key. If you do not have a Weather Source API key [sign up for a free developer account](https://developer.weathersourceapis.com/account/sign-up/) to trial the data, or contact sales at [weathersource@pelmorex.com](mailto:weathersource@pelmorex.com) to explore the right subscription package for your business. When using the \"Try it out\" capability in the documentation, your API key should be added by clicking the green \"Authorize\" button at the top of the page. You may use the evaluation API Key `C0W60UOFRML47ytbXk4xlLBfv` to access example locations found in this documentation. termsOfService: https://weathersource.com/company/legal/terms-of-service/ contact: name: Weather Source APIs url: https://developer.weathersourceapis.com/ email: weathersource@pelmorex.com version: 2.0.1 servers: - url: https://location.weathersourceapis.com/v2 security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] tags: - name: points description: Latitude/Longitude metadata - name: postcodes description: Postcode metadata - name: dmas description: Designated Market Area metadata - name: onpoints description: OnPoint™ point metadata paths: /points/{latitude},{longitude}: get: tags: - points summary: Latitude/Longitude geographical metadata description: | Returns geographical metadata for a latitude/longitude point. **IMPORTANT:** To authenticate to the Weather Source Location API, each request must contain your API key set to a custom header named `X-API-KEY`.
