Edit: Dark Sky API is no longer accepting new signups https://darksky.net/dev

In order to use the Dark Sky API, you first need your own API key. Getting an API key is quick and free.

  • https://darksky.net/dev
  • Click “Try for Free”.
  • Register an account and click the link sent to you in a validation email to activate your account
  • Sign in
  • You get 1,000 API calls per day with your free Dark Sky Developer account. There is no credit card required unless you want to upgrade to an account that will allow you more than 1,000 API calls per day.

Your secret Dark Sky API key will look something like this: 0123456789abcdef9876543210fedcba. Save it.

You can make an API call to Dark Sky by typing in a URL into your browser in the following format:

https://api.darksky.net/forecast/[key]/[latitude],[longitude]

for example, to get the weather in Boston, first get the latitude and longitude coordinates (for example from Google Maps):

Let's look at what is returned (you will have to place your Dark Sky API key in the above link):
