WeatherXu | Weather API with Developer Simplicity

Weather Data Simplified: From Startups to Enterprise Scale

WeatherXu provides a powerful yet elegantly simple weather data solution that scales from individual projects to enterprise applications. We deliver comprehensive weather data through a single, unified API endpoint – because we believe accessing weather data shouldn’t be complicated.

Filling the Dark Sky Gap

Since Dark Sky’s acquisition by Apple and subsequent API shutdown, developers and businesses have been searching for a worthy alternative that offers the same level of simplicity and reliability. WeatherXu was built with these needs in mind, offering the clean, intuitive experience that made Dark Sky beloved while adding modern enhancements:

  • Single Endpoint Philosophy: Like Dark Sky, we believe in simplicity. But we’ve taken it further – one endpoint for all your weather data needs, reducing complexity and API calls.
  • Developer-Centric Pricing: Our pricing structure echoes Dark Sky’s developer-friendly approach with a generous free tier and straightforward scaling options.
  • Comprehensive Data: We provide the detailed weather parameters developers came to rely on with Dark Sky – from basic conditions to detailed forecasts – all through our unified API.

We’ve studied what made Dark Sky great and built WeatherXu to not just fill the gap, but to evolve the concept of what a weather API can be.
