weather-api
Build and run Xweather Weather API request URLs for data.api.xweather.com from plain-language requirements. Use when a task mentions the Xweather or legacy Aeris API, weather endpoints such as observations, conditions, forecasts, alerts, lightning, air quality, tropical cyclones, tides, or road weather; asks for an API URL or query; needs help debugging an empty or failed request; asks about access costs, endpoint multipliers, rate limits, or allowance usage; or needs guidance for the hosted Xweather MCP server at mcp.api.xweather.com, including availability, connection, authentication, and tool scoping. Also covers Xweather's attribution requirement — the 'Powered by Vaisala Xweather' credit and logo rules that apply wherever Xweather data or imagery is displayed.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "vaisala-xweather/xweather-agent-skills:plugins/xweather/skills/weather-api" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/vaisala-xweather/xweather-agent-skills /tmp/xweather-agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/xweather-agent-skills/plugins/xweather/skills/weather-api ~/.claude/skills/weather-apiFrom README
Xweather Weather API URL builder Turn a description of wanted weather data into a correct data.api.xweather.com URL — and, when credentials are available, execute it and return the data alongside the URL. Request anatomy | Segment | Example | Notes | |---|---|---| | endpoint | observations, conditions/summary | What data. 59 of them — see references/endpoints.md. | | action | closest, within, search, route, contains, affects | How to look it up. Omitted entirely for :id and :all. | | :id | seattle,wa, 98109, 44.97,-93.26, KMSP | The place or record identifier. Goes in p= instead when an action occupies the path slot. | | params | filter=, query=, fields=, limit=, from=/to=, format= | Shape the result. | | credentials | clientid + clientsecret | Query params on every request; no header form exists. | api.aerisapi.com is the legacy host and still works — always emit data.api.xweather.com.
