Swedish weather forecast API: hourly SMHI forecasts for Nordic coordinates
A pay-per-result hourly weather forecast API for Nordic coordinates: temperature, wind, gusts, precipitation, weather symbol, pressure, visibility, and thunderstorm probability from official SMHI data, with automatic MET Norway/Yr fallback.
What the API returns
Each run writes one record per company to the default dataset. Field names below are the actual dataset schema of the Nordic Hourly Weather Forecasts (SMHI) actor.
| Field | Contents |
|---|---|
name / lat / lon | Forecast point identity and coordinates |
time | Valid time (UTC) per hourly row |
tempC | Temperature in °C |
windMs / windGust | Wind speed and gusts in m/s |
precipMm | Precipitation in mm |
symbol | Weather symbol code |
pressure / visibilityKm | Pressure in hPa and visibility in km |
thunderstormPct | Thunderstorm probability in % |
source | Per-row data source (SMHI or MET Norway/Yr) |
Official source, no API key needed
SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute), with MET Norway/Yr fallback. The primary source is SMHI's official snow1g v1 forecast service — keyless Swedish government open data. If a coordinate is outside SMHI's domain, the actor automatically falls back to MET Norway/Yr, and every row names its source.
Pricing
$0.00125 per result found (volume tiers down to $0.0009), plus $0.05 per actor start. Pay-per-event pricing: pay for results, not for a subscription.
FAQ
Is there a free official Swedish weather API?
Yes — SMHI publishes its forecasts as open data without an API key. This actor turns it into per-hour JSON rows for any Nordic coordinate, and falls back automatically to MET Norway/Yr where SMHI does not cover.
How is the actor priced?
Pay per event: $0.00125 per hourly forecast row (tiering down to $0.0009 at volume) plus $0.05 per run start.
Which parameters come back per hour?
Each row carries time (UTC), tempC, windMs, windGust, precipMm, weather symbol, pressure, visibilityKm, thunderstormPct, and the source that produced the row.
