Historical Ag-Weather API

Agriculture-focused historical weather fields from blended weather and land-surface sources.

Data returned is sourced from the ERA5 datasets, along with state of the art, satellite based precipitation measurements. With this API, you can retrieve soil temperature, soil moisture, reference evapotranspiration, and more!

• Historical ag-weather data with crop-relevant fields
• Supports both field operations and model inputs
• Global coverage with blended source support

NOTICE: Data is available 10 years in the past from current date.

The following per API request limitations apply (See pricing):

• ^*Business / Enterprise plans: 7 days per API request.
• Other plan(s): No access

^*For convenience, up to 1 month of data can be requested per API request. However, requests that exceed 7 days will count as multiple requests against the plan daily quota. Example: 30 days = 5 requests, 14 days = 2 requests.
