Connect OpenWeatherMap to clariBI with your API key to sync daily weather history (temperature, humidity, pressure, wind) for the locations you choose, read-only, with auto-generated dashboards next to your business data.
What is OpenWeatherMap?
OpenWeatherMap is a weather-data provider whose One Call API serves historical, current, and forecast weather for any location worldwide.
clariBI reads OpenWeatherMap through its One Call timemachine API using your own API key: daily temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed for the locations you choose. You search a place by name, clariBI resolves its coordinates, and the connector reads the daily series read-only. The key is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
How to connect OpenWeatherMap
- Open Data Sources in clariBI. In clariBI, go to Data Sources → Add Data Source, find OpenWeatherMap, and paste your OpenWeatherMap API key (from openweathermap.org). The key is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
- Search locations and history. Search the places to track by name (clariBI resolves coordinates), 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 the AI engine queries the synced weather alongside your sales.
What you can analyze
- Daily temperature per location over your chosen window
- Daily humidity alongside temperature
- Atmospheric pressure trend by place
- Wind speed shifts across the locations you track
- Temperature swings lined up with demand dates
- Cross-source: weather → foot traffic → sales
What gets synced
clariBI pulls daily weather history for the locations you select through the OpenWeatherMap One Call timemachine API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it on your schedule. Access is read-only.
For each selected location, clariBI syncs daily temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind speed, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. It never changes anything in your OpenWeatherMap account.
Questions across your other data
Once your records are synced, the AI engine can join them to the rest of your business data. A few examples:
| Pairing | Question | How clariBI answers |
|---|---|---|
| OpenWeatherMap × Sales | "How much of our daily sales swing is weather?" | Planner: read daily temperature from OpenWeatherMap, align to daily sales by location, and report the weather-driven share of the change. |
| OpenWeatherMap × Foot traffic | "Did the heat keep customers away last month?" | Planner: read daily temperature from OpenWeatherMap, join to foot traffic by date, and flag the hottest days. |
