Dimensions summary
This listing uses a single pricing dimension called Product Access (Units). You buy a set number of units under a contract to gain access to the 60 Minute Rainfall / Snow Forecast product. The pricing does not split into separate tiers or instance sizes. Instead, you scale by adjusting the quantity of access units you commit to. This product delivers minute-by-minute precipitation and snowfall forecasts for near-term nowcasting, refreshed about once per hour. Your total cost depends on the number of units you select for the contract term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A unit grants access to the 60 Minute Rainfall / Snow Forecast API under your contract. It returns minute-by-minute precipitation and snowfall rate guidance for near-term nowcasting. You query by latitude/longitude, city, station ID, airport ICAO code, or postal code, and receive JSON responses.
Forecasts refresh about once per hour in most locations. The refresh rate is fixed and does not change your unit count. You scale by adjusting the quantity of access units you commit to, not by the update frequency of the underlying data.
Coverage is global, with resolution generally ranging from about 1 to 13 km depending on region. Coverage is highest resolution in North America and Europe, with coarser but still detailed coverage elsewhere. Point-based responses resolve data around your requested coordinate.
