An API for accessing extremely accurate precipitation, soil moisture, and weather data. Provides historical observations and forecasts with flexible geographic and temporal querying capabilities.
https://api.precip.aiEndpoints for retrieving precipitation measurements and forecasts
Map tile and visualization services
Endpoints for soil moisture and temperature data
Embeddable UI components for web integration
Returns comprehensive daily precipitation data for the given time range and location(s). Each day includes precipitation amount, type (rain/snow/mixed), probability (for forecasts), and data source. Seamlessly combines historical observations with forecast data depending on the requested time range.
