OpenWeather

The OpenWeather source connector lets you connect to the OpenWeather API using an API key.

At this time, the connector supports credential validation (testing that your API key works), but data extraction and streams are still in development.

Setup​

  1. Create an OpenWeather account.
  2. Generate an API key (sometimes called an API key or appid) in your OpenWeather dashboard.
  3. Add the API key to the connector configuration.

Authentication​

OpenWeather uses an API key for authentication.

During connection testing, the connector validates credentials by calling the Current Weather endpoint:

  • GET https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather
  • Query parameters:
    • q=London
    • appid=<your_api_key>

If the API returns a non-success status, the connector will report a credential validation failure.

Configuration​

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
api_keystringYesYour OpenWeather API key (appid).

Streams​

No streams are currently available. The connector’s extraction logic is still in development, and syncs will not produce records yet.

Limitations​

  • Extraction not implemented: Running a sync will fail with an error indicating extraction is still in development.
  • Catalog not yet defined: The connector currently returns an empty catalog (no selectable streams).
