Questions

FAQ

How do I use the Open-Meteo Geocoding API?

Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/open-meteo/geocoding with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.

How much does the Open-Meteo Geocoding API cost?

$0.0001 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.

What parameters does the Open-Meteo Geocoding API accept?

Required: name (string). Optional: count (integer), countryCode (string), format (one of json, protobuf) and language (string). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.

What does the Open-Meteo Geocoding API return?

A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous).

Do I need a Open-Meteo developer account or API key?

No. Open-Meteo Geocoding runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Open-Meteo API access separately.
