The weather endpoint supports dozens of parameters including airTemperature, windSpeed, windDirection, waveHeight, wavePeriod, visibility, humidity, precipitation, cloudCover, pressure, and more. You specify which parameters you need in the params array, and the agent returns only the requested data for efficient responses.

Storm Glass pulls from NOAA, DWD (German Weather Service), MeteoFrance, FCOO, ICON, and its own SG source. The source parameter lets you filter by provider or retrieve data from all sources simultaneously. The agent can present multi-source comparisons when higher confidence is needed.

Yes. Both the weather and solar endpoints accept start and end parameters in ISO 8601 UTC format. The agent can query conditions for any past date within Storm Glass's historical data range. This is useful for claims verification, post-event analysis, and historical trend comparisons.

No. Weather data, solar readings, tide station lists, and elevation values are fetched in real time from Storm Glass's API during conversations. Tars does not cache or store meteorological data. Each query returns fresh results from Storm Glass's data infrastructure.

Storm Glass's elevation endpoint returns bathymetry (depth below sea level) for ocean points and topography (height above sea level) for land coordinates. Precision depends on the underlying dataset. You provide exact latitude and longitude in decimal degrees, and the API returns the elevation value for that point.

Weather websites show city-level forecasts. Storm Glass provides coordinate-level precision with data from multiple meteorological institutions. The agent retrieves data for any latitude and longitude on Earth, returns specific parameters you need, and presents the information in conversation. No manual searching or site navigation required.

Storm Glass offers 10 free API requests per day on the free tier. Paid plans provide higher limits. Each weather or solar query for a coordinate counts as one request. The agent manages requests efficiently by requesting only the parameters needed for the current question.

The agent can list all available tide stations globally using the tide stations endpoint. Station data includes names, geographic coordinates, and identifiers. For specific tide level data, the station information helps identify the correct monitoring point for your area of interest.
