Recent hourly data lands within 24 hours. The files are not versioned: columns can be added or reordered without notice. - per-object cap: not applicable: read-only files; the 2024 hourly all-station Parquet file declares 992,333,139 bytes | source: [1] - retention: not applicable: read-only files | source: [1] - egress: no fee and no key on data.meteostat.net; a 2024 hourly station file downloaded and a 992,333,139-byte Parquet file answered HTTP 200 with no account | metered: no | source: [1] - identity: anonymous | detail: No sign-up and no API key for the bulk and time-series files; a station file and a bulk file answered HTTP 200 with no credentials. - interface: rest - binding note: No quota is published for the files and no key is asked; the size of one year of hourly data (992,333,139 bytes) is the practical unit of a pull. - interface detail: plain HTTPS downloads from data.meteostat.net: hourly/{year}.parquet and daily/{year}.parquet (one file per year) and monthly.parquet (one file) for all stations; hourly/{year}/{station}.csv.gz and daily/{year}/{station}.csv.gz and monthly/{station}.csv.gz per station; station metadata in JSON and SQL - endpoint: https://data.meteostat.net/hourly/2024.parquet - tooling: any HTTP client; the Meteostat Python library wraps the files - composes with: A keyless bulk source of station history: one Parquet file per year for hourly and daily, and one Parquet file for monthly, covers every station, so a full year of hourly observations is one download. - reliability: Meteostat may discontinue or block access at any time without prior notice; a year with no data answers HTTP 404. - notes: Bulk path: data.meteostat.net Parquet and CSV files with no key.
