Overview
Yandex.Weather API provides detailed weather condition assessments for specific geographic locations using Yandex's meteorological data infrastructure, with particularly strong coverage across Russia and CIS countries. It delivers current weather, hourly and 10-day forecasts, and includes UV index and pollen data. Beginners need to apply for API access through the Yandex developer console before making requests.
Beginner Tip
Access requires approval from Yandex; apply through the developer console at yandex.com/dev/weather. Once approved, pass your key in the X-Yandex-API-Key request header, not as a query parameter.
