For Agents
An agent can fetch weather, tide extremes, sea level, astronomy, elevation, and biological ocean data for any point on the globe, list tide stations in an area, and pull hourly marine forecasts by coordinates across Storm Glass's two APIs.
Storm Glass aggregates marine and weather data from several forecast sources into point-based lookups, so an agent asks for a single coordinate and gets weather, ocean, tide, astronomy, and elevation values back rather than stitching together separate providers.
Use for: Reading marine and weather data (weather, tide, sea level, astronomy, elevation, biological ocean, and hourly marine forecasts) for a point by coordinates
Not supported: writing data, payments, communications, crm, geocoding addresses
Credentials: Both APIs authenticate with a Storm Glass API key, though they read it from different headers, so one Storm Glass account credential covers both.
Across 2 Storm Glass APIs: 1 vendor-official, 1 third-party, all indexed by Jentic and kept validated and agent-ready.
Storm Glass provides global marine and weather data from multiple forecast sources through a set of point-based APIs. Agents can retrieve weather, biological ocean, tide, astronomy, and elevation data for any coordinate, plus hourly marine forecasts, all returned as structured JSON keyed to a latitude and longitude.
2 APIs across 1 product group. All share one credential.
| I want to... | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Weather, tide, astronomy, elevation, or biological ocean data for a point | Storm Glass API | Exposes seven endpoints covering weather, bio, tide extremes, sea level, tide stations, astronomy, and elevation for any coordinate. |
| A single hourly marine forecast for a coordinate | Storm Glass Marine Weather | A one-endpoint API that returns hourly marine forecast values by latitude and longitude. |
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Storm Glass APIs, 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://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fstormglass.io" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fstormglass.io" | 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.
Once connected, ask your agent something like: “get marine weather and tide data for a coordinate”.
Each workflow spans multiple Storm Glass APIs. Jentic routes each operation to the right API automatically.
Full marine conditions brief for a coordinate
An agent pulls the hourly marine forecast from the single-endpoint API and enriches it with tide extremes, sea level, and astronomy data from the multi-endpoint API to build one conditions brief for a location.
Call the forecast endpoint on main for the coordinate, then call weather, tide, and astronomy point endpoints on storm-glass and merge the results into one brief.
Storm Glass Marine Weather + Storm Glass API
Cross-check forecasts across both APIs
An agent retrieves the hourly forecast from one API and the weather point data from the other for the same coordinate, then compares the values to flag divergence between the two data sources.
Fetch forecast from main and weather/point from storm-glass for the same latitude and longitude, then compare the overlapping fields and report any differences.

Setup
Wiring Storm Glass by hand means sending its API key in each API's expected header on every call and passing coordinate and parameter query fields for each request. Through Jentic you install once, add the Storm Glass APIs you need from the Jentic API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls them.
Permission scoping
Both Storm Glass APIs are read-only and take location in query parameters rather than a resource id in the path, so you scope by operation. Your own Jentic One rules decide which point lookups the agent may call, and only the operations you add are available to it.
Credential isolation
Your Storm Glass API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search the Jentic directory by intent such as 'get weather data for a point' or 'get an hourly marine forecast for a location', and Jentic returns the matching Storm Glass operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Specific to using Storm Glass APIs through Jentic.
What can an agent do across the Storm Glass APIs?
An agent can read weather, biological ocean, tide extreme, sea level, astronomy, and elevation data for any coordinate through the Storm Glass API, list tide stations in an area, and fetch hourly marine forecasts by coordinates through the Storm Glass Marine Weather API. All responses come back as structured JSON keyed to a latitude and longitude.
Do the two Storm Glass APIs share one credential?
Yes. Both APIs authenticate with the same Storm Glass API key tied to your account. They read the key from different request headers, but a single Storm Glass account credential works for both.
Are the Storm Glass APIs read-only?
Yes. Every operation across both APIs retrieves data by coordinate. There are no write, update, or delete operations, so an agent can only fetch marine and weather values, never modify anything.
How do the two APIs differ in coverage?
The Storm Glass API is broader, with seven endpoints spanning weather, bio, tide, astronomy, and elevation. The Storm Glass Marine Weather API has a single endpoint focused on hourly marine forecasts by coordinates.
Can an agent combine data from both APIs in one workflow?
Yes. Because both take a coordinate as input and return JSON, an agent can pull an hourly forecast from one API and enrich it with tide, astronomy, or weather point data from the other to assemble a single view for a location.
Do the Storm Glass APIs handle addresses or geocoding?
No. Every endpoint expects a latitude and longitude. Converting a place name or address into coordinates is outside the scope of these APIs and would need a separate geocoding service.
All 3 are in the Jentic catalogue with the same one-credential, intent-search pattern.
