India Meteorological Department (IMD; Hindi भारत मौसम विज्ञान विभाग) is the national weather agency of India under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, responsible for weather forecasting, climate monitoring and meteorological services. Through its IMD API Management portal (api.imd.gov.in), with self-service account registration, IMD offers developers JSON APIs for current weather observations, city-level forecasts, district nowcasts and warnings, rainfall data and marine bulletins, documented in an HTML API reference and a PDF API document.
India Meteorological Department is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Weather, Meteorology, India, and Public-Data.
India Meteorological Department’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, support, signup flow, and 9 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Government & Public Sector regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
