Field mapping#

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's unified schema. Fields the source lacks come back as null.

Source path	Onekey field	Transform
`latitude`	`place.lat`	`toNumber`
`longitude`	`place.lon`	`toNumber`
`daily.time`	`ext.dates`	-
`daily.temperature_2m_max`	`ext.temperatureMaxC`	-
`daily.temperature_2m_min`	`ext.temperatureMinC`	-
`daily.temperature_2m_mean`	`ext.temperatureMeanC`	-
`daily.precipitation_sum`	`ext.precipitationSumMm`	-
`daily.wind_speed_10m_max`	`ext.windSpeedMaxKmH`	-

Caching and freshness#

Fresh for about 1 hour. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
Between 1 hour and 1 day the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 day more (marked stale).
A "not found" is remembered for 5 minutes and is free.
The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#

Status	Code	What to do
401	`unauthorized`	Check the `x-api-key` header.
402	`insufficient_credits`	Add credits; your balance must cover the price.
404	`not_found`	That record does not exist. Free; do not retry.
422	`invalid_params`	Fix the parameters using the table above. Free.
429	`rate_limited`	Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry.
502	`upstream_error`	The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff.

See Errors for the full list and retry guidance.
