The Pollen Tracker API provides valuable information on pollen levels in specific regions. It generates accurate forecasts based on user-provided geographic coordinates, such as latitude and longitude, and offers predictions for periods ranging from one to five days. The API responds with detailed data on pollen types, seasonal patterns, and health recommendations, helping users better manage allergy symptoms.
Each request returns organized daily reports for the specified location, detailing the types of pollen present, the forecasted date, and relevant health advice based on current pollen levels. This information is especially useful for allergy sufferers, allowing them to plan outdoor activities and take proactive precautions.
A key feature of the API is the Universal Pollen Index (UPI), which aggregates data from multiple pollen sources into a single, easy-to-understand score. The UPI quickly indicates allergy risk levels—low UPI values suggest minimal pollen presence, making it favorable for outdoor plans, while high UPI readings indicate significant pollen levels that could trigger allergy symptoms in sensitive individuals.
To use this endpoint you must indicate a latitude longitude and the number of days forecast (you can choose a number between 1 and 5 maximum).

To use this API users must indicate coordinates such as latitude and longitude and the number of forecast days they wish to obtain from 1 to 5.
There are different plans suits everyone including a free trial for small amount of requests, but it’s rate is limit to prevent abuse of the service.
The API receives latitude, longitude, and a forecast range (1-5 days) and provides detailed pollen information, including types, levels, and health recommendations.
Besides the number of API calls per month, there are no other limitations.
The Pollen Tracker API provides real-time pollen data, including forecasts, types, levels, and health recommendations based on geographical location.
The API returns daily pollen forecasts, including types of pollen, their levels, health recommendations, and the Universal Pollen Index (UPI) for a specified location.
Key fields include "date," "pollenTypeInfo" (which details pollen types and their levels), "healthRecommendations," and "indexInfo" (which provides UPI details).
The response is structured as a JSON object containing an array of "dailyInfo," each with date, pollen type information, and health advice, making it easy to parse and utilize.
The endpoint provides pollen types, seasonal patterns, UPI scores, health recommendations, and forecasted dates, helping users manage allergy symptoms effectively.
Users can specify "latitude," "longitude," and "forecast days" (ranging from 1 to 5) to customize their data requests for specific locations and timeframes.
The API aggregates data from multiple reliable pollen sources, ensuring accuracy through regular updates and quality checks to provide trustworthy forecasts.
Typical use cases include planning outdoor activities, managing allergy symptoms, and providing health advice based on current pollen levels for sensitive individuals.
Users can analyze the "healthRecommendations" alongside pollen levels and UPI scores to make informed decisions about outdoor activities and allergy management strategies.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
