Documentation

As mentioned above, the API is ridiculously simple. The API is documented in Swagger. However, there are rate limits to the anonymous usage that Swagger is set up for. To unlock those limits, you will need to provide your credentials.

You can also directly navigate to the API.

ClimateZones.us uses token-based authentication. Once you subscribe, you will be granted a token that you can use with the API and can also use with the Swagger documentation to unlock those rate limits. When calling the API, you need to pass your token in an Authorization: header like this:

Authorization: Token 73e3168ba6f94fa868cd6ef51dae444a25a2fe9e

Note that you need to include the literal string 'Token' and then whitespace and then your actual token.

For example, using cURL, you would issue a command like this:

curl -X GET https://climatezones.us/api/locations/20006/ -H 'Authorization: Token 73e3168ba6f94fa868cd6ef51dae444a25a2fe9e'
