About DarkSky API
DarkSky API was one of the most respected weather data APIs available, known for its hyperlocal, minute-by-minute precipitation forecasting and clean developer experience. Apple acquired Dark Sky in 2020 and has since transitioned the API to Apple WeatherKit, which offers similar data through a new interface under Apple’s developer programme.
For businesses that built applications, dashboards, or automation workflows on the DarkSky API, the transition to Apple WeatherKit means updating integrations, changing authentication methods, and adapting to a different data format. Some businesses have migrated to alternative weather APIs like OpenWeatherMap, Tomorrow.io, or Visual Crossing instead.
Weather data is critical for more industries than people realise. Logistics companies route deliveries around storms. Agricultural businesses schedule irrigation based on precipitation forecasts. Event companies plan outdoor activities around weather windows. Insurance firms assess weather-related risk in real time. The accuracy and reliability of your weather data source directly impacts operational decisions.
Osher Digital builds weather data integrations for Australian businesses — whether you are migrating from DarkSky to WeatherKit, switching to an alternative provider, or building new weather-driven data processing and AI agent workflows. We have built weather pipeline integrations for insurance technology companies and other industries that depend on reliable weather data.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement DarkSky API
As DarkSky API consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate DarkSky API with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Assess Your Weather Data Needs
We review how your business uses weather data — what endpoints you call, what data fields you rely on, how frequently you poll, and what downstream systems consume the data. This determines the right migration path or new integration approach.
Step 2
Select the Right Weather API
Based on your requirements, we recommend the best weather data provider. Factors include geographic coverage, data granularity, API rate limits, cost, and data format. For Australian businesses, we often combine global APIs with Bureau of Meteorology data.
Step 3
Build the Integration Layer
We build the API connection, data transformation, and error handling layer that fetches weather data on your required schedule. This includes authentication, caching to reduce API calls, and fallback logic if the primary source is unavailable.
Step 4
Transform and Route Weather Data
Raw weather API responses need to be transformed into the format your applications expect. We build the data pipelines that clean, normalise, and route weather data to your dashboards, automation triggers, and downstream systems.
Step 5
Set Up Alerts and Triggers
We configure weather-based automation triggers — alerts when conditions exceed thresholds, automatic workflow adjustments based on forecasts, and notifications to relevant team members when weather impacts operations.
Step 6
Monitor and Maintain
Weather APIs change their terms, rate limits, and data formats over time. We set up monitoring to detect data quality issues, API changes, and integration failures so your weather-dependent workflows stay reliable.
