Platform and API changes, newest first. Subscribe by watching this page — an RSS feed is on the roadmap, we promise.
The Weather API now includes an optional confidence parameter that returns confidence scores (0-100) for temperature and precipitation predictions. Useful for high-stakes applications like agriculture and energy trading.
Optimized our regional cache strategy. Median response time for GET /v1/weather now 85ms globally, down from 155ms. All regions improved; largest gains in APAC (+52% faster).
Dashboard now breaks down request volume by endpoint (weather, geocode) and region. See which endpoints drive usage and identify optimization opportunities. Available to all tiers.
Fixed RateLimit-Remaining and RateLimit-Reset headers to strictly conform to RFC 9110. Previously we returned millisecond timestamps; now returns seconds per spec.
Geocode responses now include official_name and alternate_names array. Better support for localized city names and disambiguation across regions.
Official Go SDK forge-go and Python 2.0 released to PyPI. Async support, full type hints, integrated retry logic. Matches feature parity with forge-js.
The units parameter now accepts kelvin in addition to metric and imperial. Default remains metric (Celsius).
Full weather data coverage and 99.9% SLA now live for Middle East and North Africa. Integrated local meteorological services for improved forecast accuracy in the region.
Resolved intermittent timeouts on GET /v1/weather/historical for multi-month queries. Archive querying now 100% stable, improved latency by 60%.
New POST /v1/keys/rotate endpoint enables safe key rotation without downtime. Old key remains valid for 24 hours after rotation to allow graceful client-side switchover.
Launched public status page at status.forge-api.dev. Real-time system status, historical incident logs, and incident subscribe feature for critical users.
Pro and Enterprise plans now backed by 99.95% uptime SLA (was 99.5%). Free and Starter plans at 99%. SLA credits automatically applied via monthly invoicing.
New condition codes SEVERE_THUNDERSTORM, TORNADO_WARNING, EXTREME_HEAT now returned in forecasts. Available in any region with alert data from local services.
Added optional days=10 parameter to GET /v1/weather. 7-day forecasts remain free tier default; 10-day available on Starter and Pro plans.
Important: /v0 API will be sunset on 2026-12-31. All customers must migrate to v1 by end of year. See migration guide at docs.forge-api.dev/migrate-v0-to-v1.
Forge Python SDK (forge-api on PyPI) and Node.js SDK (@forge-api/sdk on npm) now available. Type-safe, built-in retries, streaming support.
Redesigned geocoding index structure. Average response time for GET /v1/geocode reduced from 120ms to 78ms. Beneficiaries of faster batch geocoding operations.
Initial release: Weather API with current conditions and 7-day forecasts, Geocoding API, three pricing tiers, documentation portal, and dashboard. Auth via Bearer tokens. v0 still available for legacy customers.
