DWD API — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is DWD API free to use?

DWD API is listed in our free catalogue and required no credential when we called it. It needs no authentication at all, so you can send a request without signing up. Free tiers can still carry rate limits or non-commercial terms, so check the provider's own terms before shipping.

Does DWD API need an API key?

No. We called DWD API on 2026-09-18 with no key, no token and no Authorization header, and it responded. That is what puts it in our no-key collection.

Can I call DWD API from browser JavaScript?

Yes. DWD API returned CORS headers when we checked it, so a browser will let your page read the response. You can fetch it directly from client-side JavaScript with no proxy and no backend.

Is DWD API still working?

Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached DWD API and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 394 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.

Is DWD API available over HTTPS?

Yes. DWD API serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
