weather-api

weather-api is a skill for Claude Code from vaisala-xweather/xweather-agent-skills. It costs 159 tokens per session (6,231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A request builder for the Xweather Weather API, an online service that provides weather data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to request observations, conditions, forecasts, alerts, lightning, air quality, tropical cyclones, tides, road weather, and other supported weather data.
Why use it?
It turns plain-language requests into correctly structured API URLs, reducing mistakes in endpoints, locations, filters, dates, and credentials.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

weather-api scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/xwrequest.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 395 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Xweather Weather API URL builder

Turn a description of wanted weather data into a correct data.api.xweather.com URL — and, when credentials are available, execute it and return the data alongside the URL.

Request anatomy

https://data.api.xweather.com/{endpoint}/{action}/{:id}?{params}&client_id=…&client_secret=…
Segment Example Notes
endpoint observations, conditions/summary What data. 59 of them — see references/endpoints.md.
action closest, within, search, route, contains, affects How to look it up. Omitted entirely for :id and :all.
:id seattle,wa, 98109, 44.97,-93.26, KMSP The place or record identifier. Goes in p= instead when an action occupies the path slot.
params filter=, query=, fields=, limit=, from=/to=, format= Shape the result.
credentials client_id + client_secret Query params on every request; no header form exists.

api.aerisapi.com is the legacy host and still works — always emit data.api.xweather.com.

Workflow

  1. Extract from the prompt: what data, which place(s), what time, and what shape of answer (one record, N nearest, everything in an area, along a route, is-this-point-inside-a-polygon).
  2. Pick the endpoint. Use the intent map below; confirm against references/endpoints.md.
  3. Pick the action from the decision table below. Verify the endpoint actually supports it — endpoints.md lists supported actions per endpoint, and an unsupported one returns not_implemented.
  4. Add parameters. filter and query tokens are endpoint-specific; only use tokens listed for that endpoint in endpoints.md. Read references/filters.md when choosing between similar tokens (standard vs all for alerts, day vs daynight vs mdnt2mdnt for forecasts) — grep for the ## /endpoint heading rather than reading the whole file.
  5. Sanity-check against a documented example. references/examples.md has the API's own example requests for every endpoint; references/recipes.md has 34 real-world queries by use case. If the request resembles one, copy its structure instead of inventing parameters.
  6. Emit the URL with its access cost (see Access cost — always report it), then decide whether to run it (see Executing the request).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

weather-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository vaisala-xweather/xweather-agent-skills (3 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 159 tokens to every session and 6,231 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
