What’s in the API?

The SeaLegs API provides comprehensive marine weather data through a simple REST interface. You can access:

• 7‑Day Forecasts – Detailed hourly and daily forecasts including wind, waves, temperature, and precipitation.
• AI Classifications – Smart daily ratings that tell you at a glance whether conditions are good for boating.
• Global Coverage – Forecasts for coastal waters, lakes, and offshore locations worldwide — from Florida to the Mediterranean to Australia.
• Multi‑Model Data – Synthesized predictions from leading weather models for improved accuracy.

Quick Start

1. Create your developer account – Sign up here to obtain an API key.

2. Make your first request:

   curl -X GET "https://api.sealegs.ai/v1/forecast" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
     -d "lat=25.7617" \
     -d "lon=-80.1918"

   You’ll receive a JSON response with detailed forecast data:

   {
     "location": {
       "lat": 25.7617,
       "lon": -80.1918,
       "name": "Miami, FL"
     },
     "daily": [
       {
         "date": "2025-11-20",
         "classification": "good",
         "confidence": 0.87,
         "wind_speed_avg": 12,
         "wave_height_avg": 2.1,
         "summary": "Light winds and moderate seas..."
       }
     ],
     "hourly": [...]
   }

Pricing That Scales With You

• Pay‑as‑you‑go – Start at just $10 for 200 forecast‑day credits.
• No monthly minimums – Only pay for what you use.
• Volume discounts – Better rates as your usage grows.
• Enterprise plans – Custom solutions for high‑volume applications.
