OpenWeather API id query parameter removal on GET /data/2.5/forecast

Deprecated, no dateSubscribe to OpenWeather APIShare

OpenWeather API has deprecated requests using the query parameter id on GET /data/2.5/forecast without a shutdown date. OpenWeather API notes that API requests by city id have been deprecated. Calls continuing to use this parameter will eventually fail.


Calls it hits

  • GET /data/2.5/forecast
  • query parameter id

What to use instead of these calls

Resolve the city ID with the Geocoding API and call with lat and lon instead.

In OpenWeather API's words

Please note that API requests by city name, zip-codes and city id have been deprecated.
