How to call it

A starting template for openSenseMap API. Replace ENDPOINT with the path from the official documentation, which we link above rather than guess at.

curl -s "https://docs.opensensemap.org/ENDPOINT" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

This API does not send CORS headers, so a browser will block a direct call from your front end. Call it from your server, or put a small proxy in front of it.

openSenseMap API — common questions

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

Is openSenseMap API free to use?

openSenseMap API is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires some form of authentication, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.

Does openSenseMap API need an API key?

Can I call openSenseMap API from browser JavaScript?
