NWS API Endpoints

This section lists the available endpoints for the National Weather Service (NWS) API. Each endpoint corresponds to a specific type of data or resource—such as forecasts, alerts, weather stations, or gridpoints—and follows a RESTful URL structure.

What You'll Find

Each endpoint reference includes:

• The full path with example parameters
• Supported HTTP methods
• Required and optional query parameters
• Response format and sample data
• Notes on errors and expected status codes

Responses are typically in JSON or GeoJSON format.

Organization

Endpoints are grouped by resource:

• Alerts: /alerts, with optional filters
• Points: /points/{lat},{lon} returns metadata and related endpoints for a location
