For Agents
Programmatically get weather forecast, get historical weather data. Covers 2 operations with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Pirate Weather API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Pirate Weather API.
Retrieve current conditions and multi-day forecasts for any coordinate pair
Query historical weather data for past dates at specific locations
Access minutely precipitation intensity for the next hour
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to get a weather forecast for specific coordinates, Retrieve historical weather data for a past date and location, Check current weather conditions at a latitude and longitude, Get hourly precipitation forecast for a location
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for data enrichment only.
Weather forecast and historical weather data API providing current conditions, minutely, hourly, and daily forecasts. The API exposes 2 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Pull hourly forecast data including temperature, wind, and humidity
Get daily high/low temperatures, sunrise, sunset, and moon phase data
Patterns agents use Pirate Weather API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Location-Based Weather Forecasting
Retrieve current conditions, minutely precipitation, hourly forecasts, and daily summaries for any latitude/longitude pair. The forecast endpoint returns temperature, precipitation probability, wind speed, humidity, and UV index data in a single call, suitable for travel planning apps, agricultural tools, or outdoor event scheduling.
Call GET /forecast/{apikey}/45.42,-75.69 to retrieve the current conditions and 7-day forecast for Ottawa, Canada
Historical Weather Lookups
Query past weather conditions for any date and location using the time machine endpoint. Returns the same data structure as the forecast endpoint but for a historical timestamp, enabling weather-dependent analytics, insurance claim verification, or agricultural yield correlation studies.
Call GET /forecast/{apikey}/40.71,-74.01,1672531200 to retrieve weather conditions in New York on January 1, 2023
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Pirate Weather API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get weather forecast', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
2 endpoints — weather forecast and historical weather data api providing current conditions, minutely, hourly, and daily forecasts.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Pirate Weather API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'get weather forecast') and Jentic returns the matching Pirate Weather API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Pirate Weather API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using Pirate Weather API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Pirate Weather API use?
The Pirate Weather API uses an API key passed in the `apikey` path. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I get weather forecast with the Pirate Weather API?
Yes. Use the GET /forecast/{apikey}/{latitude},{longitude} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Pirate Weather API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I get weather forecast through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'get weather forecast'. Jentic returns the matching Pirate Weather API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Pirate Weather API have?
The Pirate Weather API exposes 2 endpoints covering forecast operations.
