UCLA Weather API

Fourteen read operations returning live observations from UCLA's campus weather station - wind speed and gust, air temperature with daily minimum and maximum, relative humidity, dew point, wet bulb, sea-level pressure and more, each as a plain-text scalar. The only UCLA contract written in OpenAPI 3.0.3 rather than Swagger 2.0, the only one that documents every operation, and the only one that authenticates with a header API key instead of OAuth 2.0. info.version is 0.0.1 on a live production route.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of UCLA Weather API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
