Reliable Environmental
Data for products
Get fast, reliable environmental intelligence, from minute-by-minute conditions to decades of historical records, via our developer-friendly APIs.
Why MIRI API?
Weather intelligence built for action.
Extensive coverage:
Dozens of high-resolution weather and environmental data layers — from core forecast variables to air quality, fire risk, soil moisture, and flood indicators — all designed to support any operational, research, or product use case.
Hyperlocal precision:
Forecasts and insights tailored to any exact coordinate — delivering street-level precision that helps teams understand conditions block by block, reduce uncertainty, and make faster, more confident decisions.
Historical depth:
Pull hourly and daily weather observations spanning many years, giving you the depth and consistency needed to spot long-term patterns, validate forecasts, train machine-learning models, and power data-driven decision systems.
Real-time streaming & alerts:
Receive real-time updates and define alert thresholds — wind speed, rainfall rate, visibility drops, temperature swings, and more — so your systems respond automatically when conditions reach operationally critical levels.
Miri API
Miri API
The MIRI data source collects real-time, ground-based weather observations from in-situ MIRI devices across Africa, delivering high-resolution data on temperature, humidity, wind speed, and rainfall for climate analysis, agricultural planning, and environmental monitoring.
