Pricing

Pricing is by API Units. An API unit is calculation is requests x variables x points.

Pricing examples of a single Point time-series request:

variable: wave.height x point = 1 API Units
variables: (air.temperature.at-2m, cloud.cover) x point = 2 API Units
variables: (wave.height, air.temperature.at-2m, cloud.cover) x 2 points = 6 API Units

Pricing examples of a single Route Time-Series request:

variable: air.pressure.at-sea-level x 4 points = 4 API Units
variables: (air.pressure.at-sea-level, cloud.cover) x 4 points = 8 API Units

In every response from the Forecast API an http header is returned x-charge-amount: 3 it tells you how many API Units the request cost you.

You can see also see how much a request will cost you in the Forecast Demo website next to the request link button at the top right hand corner of the window.

You receive a base number of API units based on your subscription plan, after these base units have been used you are then charged for each additional API Unit (in lots of 100) up too the absolute limit you set in "USAGE & KEYS" section in you account found in the API Console.
