That's two human steps and a clock. The signup is at pirate-weather.apiable.io, subscribing means picking the forecast product, and the key can take 20 minutes to go live. The free tier is 10,000 calls a month with no card, per the 30 September check, so the hand-over is an account on a third-party portal and nothing financial. There's no programmatic route and no x402. Issue #656, open since 7 July 2026, reports a key error on some new accounts, so the wait may not end in a working key. Three because the steps are light and card-free, but a wait and an open key bug sit on the door.

NBM and HRRR lead in North America, then ECMWF IFS, GFS and GEFS, with Environment Canada's four models added in 2.10.0 on 18 September 2026, DWD MOSMIX stations elsewhere, and FMI SILAM plus RAQDPS for air quality. Cadence is given per model, RTMA-RU every 15 minutes, HRRR and NBM hourly, global models every 6 hours. History runs to January 1940 from ERA5, with URMA for the last 10 days in North America. The OpenAPI 3.1 spec is versioned 2.10.2 with the code, and the project publishes its own incident reports. One gap touches my lens. The terms say nothing about caching or redistributing responses, and they rule out life or property critical use. Five, because an agent can say which model produced a number and how fresh it is, which is the defensible answer I look for.
