No bulk path on the Free plan: Bulk Request (up to 50 locations a call) starts at Pro+. - per-object cap: not applicable - retention: not applicable: the unit is a request | source: [1] - egress: not applicable | metered: no | source: [1] - identity: email | detail: The email sign-up form asks for an email that becomes the username, a password twice, an arithmetic check and acceptance of the terms, or a Google sign-in; the home page says no credit card is required. A new account starts on a 7-day Business trial and moves to the Free plan when it ends. - interface: rest - limits: - request-rate (binding): 100,000 calls a month; past it no data until 00:00 UTC on the 1st [1] - request-rate (binding): unverified: behind a sign-up; no per-minute number for the Free plan is published: the terms name a per-minute burst limit and say rate limits by plan are on the pricing page, whose plan table has no rate-limit row, and a blog post names a per-second ceiling by plan and HTTP 429 for a burst [2] - binding note: 100,000 calls a month is about 3,333 a day over 30 days and is the only published ceiling; the burst limit has no published number. - interface detail: REST over HTTPS with the key in the key query parameter; JSON or XML answers - endpoint: https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.json - tooling: any HTTP client; the key goes in the key query parameter - composes with: A keyed point-weather source with one monthly count: current conditions and 3-day forecasts per location, with only the previous day of history on the Free plan. - reliability: A call with no key answers HTTP 401 with error code 1002; a call over the monthly count answers HTTP 403 with error code 2007 and no data is served until the quota resets. The error table lists no code for the per-minute burst limit and so does not say what a call over it answers; exceeding it can suspend API access for a time. - notes: Storage: cached responses are bounded at 60 minutes for current conditions and 24 hours for forecasts; historical data has no caching limit. Bulk path: none on Free; Bulk Request starts at Pro+ (USD 25 a month on the pricing page). - evidence note: Quota, plan contents, caching limits and sign-up fields are read from first-party pages; a call with no key answered HTTP 401, so the free key was not exercised. - evidence: - [1] 2026-10-31: the Free plan has 100,000 calls a month | capture: sha256:44fed3288b77b3f4d26062eb88bcd5dd792ddd3292b0dc803eb5d159aa16e7df | quote: | Calls per month | 100K | 3 Million | 5 Million | 10 Million
