About Visual Crossing
Visual Crossing is a weather-data provider whose Timeline API serves historical, current, and forecast weather for any location worldwide through one consistent REST endpoint.
clariBI reads Visual Crossing through its Timeline API using your own API key: daily high and low temperature, average temperature, precipitation, and humidity for the locations you choose. You type a place name or coordinates, and the connector reads the daily series read-only. The key is stored encrypted.
Vendor site: visualcrossing.com
What clariBI syncs
clariBI pulls daily weather history for the locations you type through the Visual Crossing Timeline API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it once it is more than a day old. Access is read-only.
For each location, clariBI syncs daily maximum, minimum, and average temperature, precipitation, and humidity, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. It never changes anything in your Visual Crossing account.
What you can chart
- Daily high, low, and average temperature per location
- Daily precipitation totals over your chosen window
- Daily humidity alongside temperature
- Weather trend and seasonality by place
- Temperature swings lined up with demand dates
How to connect Visual Crossing
Open Data Sources in clariBI
In clariBI, go to Data Sources > Add Data Source, find Visual Crossing, and paste your Visual Crossing API key (free from visualcrossing.com). The key is stored encrypted.
Type locations and history
Type the places to track as a name (for example London,UK) or as "lat,lon", then choose how much history to pull. clariBI reads the daily weather series read-only.
Sync, then get dashboards
clariBI syncs the daily weather, preprocesses it, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "Did the cold week dent foot traffic?" and clariBI reads the synced weather alongside your sales.
Questions you can ask
Asking in plain English uses AI credits, so it needs the trial or a Starter, Professional or Enterprise plan. Totals and trends are computed from the synced rows; the AI plans the question, picks the chart and writes the explanation.
- "How much of our daily sales swing is weather?"
- "Did rain keep customers away last month?"
