GeoAPI
Weather data is location-based, so you need to identify a location before requesting weather data.
QWeather provides a powerful location search service: GeoAPI. It returns basic information about a city or POI, including its Location ID, multilingual names, latitude and longitude, time zone, elevation, rank, parent administrative areas, and administrative division.
In addition, the GeoAPI service can also help you:
- Perform fuzzy name searches
- Return multiple city results from a name entered in an app or website, allowing users to select the correct city before requesting its weather
- Avoid maintaining a city list by retrieving updated city information in real time
