About the API:
The Koppen climate classification system is a widely used method for classifying the Earth's climates based on the temperature and precipitation patterns of a particular location. Developed by German climatologist Wladimir Koppen in the early 1900s, the system divides climates into five major groups: tropical, dry, temperate, cold, and polar. Each of these groups is further divided into subcategories based on specific temperature and precipitation characteristics.
The tropical climate group includes climates that are hot and humid year-round, with temperatures remaining above 18°C (64°F) throughout the year. The dry climate group includes climates that are arid or semi-arid, with little or no precipitation and high temperatures. The temperate climate group includes climates that are mild and have distinct seasons, with temperatures ranging from warm to cold. The cold climate group includes climates that are cold year-round, with temperatures below -3°C (27°F) in the coldest month. The polar climate group includes climates that are cold and dry, with temperatures remaining below freezing for much of the year.
The Koppen climate classification system is widely used by scientists and researchers to study the impacts of climate on various aspects of the Earth, including agriculture, biodiversity, and human health. It is also used by governments, businesses, and other organizations to inform decision-making and planning related to climate and the environment.
What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?
Pass the latitude and longitude of the location that you want to check its Koppen Classification. The API will deliver the classification based on Koppen standards.
Determining the most suitable crop varieties for a specific region based on the local climate conditions.
Planning the location of new renewable energy facilities, such as solar panels or wind turbines, based on the local climate conditions.
Designing and building energy-efficient buildings that are well-suited to the local climate.
Planning the location of new infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, and airports, based on the local climate conditions.
Analyzing the potential impacts of climate change on a specific region and developing adaptation strategies.
Studying the distribution and diversity of plant and animal species and how it is affected by climate conditions.
Besides API call limitations per month, there are no other limitations.
This endpoint will receive the latitude and longitude of the place where you want to get its Koppen Classification.
The Koppen climate classification system divides the Earth's climate into five main categories:

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.
The ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
