GET /weather-stations/v2/stations/{station_id}/observations - Get Station Observations

GET 
/weather-stations/v2/stations/:station_id/observations

Retrieves a set of observations for a specified physical monitoring station (including standard weather stations and premium road weather sensors). Access to specific stations and variables is governed by your API key's entitlements.

For the latest observation across many stations in one call use GET /stations/observations/latest. There is no bulk time-series endpoint, so to retrieve time-series data for several stations, call this endpoint once per station.

Time parameter modes (mutually exclusive):

  • Relative window: last_minutes=N — returns the last N minutes of observations anchored to the server clock. Ideal for polling loops and live dashboards.
  • Absolute range: from_date_time and/or to_date_time — returns observations within a fixed UTC window. Either bound may be omitted, in which case the window extends from the bound you did supply for the longest span permitted at the requested timestep. Supplying neither bound (and no last_minutes) returns 400 Bad Request.

Combining last_minutes with from_date_time or to_date_time in the same request returns 400 Bad Request.

Max range cap: The time window for any query (whether expressed via last_minutes or from_date_time/to_date_time) must not exceed 1440 minutes (24 hours). Requests exceeding this cap return 400 Bad Request.
