Authentication

Sign in to the dashboard with an email address, Google or Apple, then create a key. The key is shown once, so store it somewhere safe, such as your password manager or your server’s secret store.

Send it in the X-API-Key header:

Terminal window
curl https://api.verticalweather.com/v1/atmosphere/usage \
  -H "X-API-Key: $VERTICAL_WEATHER_API_KEY"

A missing, revoked or mistyped key gets a 401.

Keep keys on a server

Section titled “Keep keys on a server”

Anyone with your key can use your allowance, so don’t put it in a mobile app, browser code or a public repository. If your app runs on devices you don’t control, call Vertical Weather from your own backend.

Managing keys

Section titled “Managing keys”

You can have up to ten active keys, for example one per environment. They all share your account’s limits. Revoking a key in the dashboard takes effect on the next request.

Deleting your account in the dashboard removes the account and all its keys straight away.
