Hurricane API

Hurricanes & Much More, All in One Place

Multiple data streams in just one API

Hurricane season might be semi-predictable, but the impact hurricanes have on your business is not. Until now.

PredictHQ makes landing on your feet after a massive weather event easier by providing your business with hurricane notifications so you can make good business decisions quickly. We collect, aggregate and maintain thousands of unique pieces of global scheduled and unscheduled event data into one handy API. We don’t just stop at giving you data though; we decide how important each event is to your business and how likely they’re going to impact your bottom line, which helps you to make important business decisions almost instantly. Store your own local copy of events, so you can use them for data modeling and analysis, or enriching your own dataset to produce and sell derivative works.

You can use historical hurricane data to understand how these storms impact your demand and set up custom event notifications to alert you when a new Hurricane is coming your way. With PredictHQ Notifications, set up real time event alerts that will keep you updated on the latest developments with Hurricanes. Now you can make quicker decisions around inventory levels and staffing schedules before the storm impacts your area. 

Ranked Hurricanes

Not sure what events matter most? Don’t worry - we’ve sorted them for you

While the elements are battering your business from the outside, PredictHQ helps you make great business decisions from the inside. Use our RESTful API as a quasi hurricane alert that gives you a heads-up about major weather events, not to mention millions of other events happening all over the world. Our API will help you make business decisions that will not only impact your bottom line, but also ensure you’re caring about the people your business serves. Our ranking algorithm assigns a numerical rank to every single event, so you can filter from major to minor events and see at a glance which natural disasters your business needs to pay special attention to.

We collate and aggregate event data so you don’t have to. Let our API do what we do best while you focus on your work, like creating your own applications, data models and algorithms. Our API communicates with any platform, and our intelligent weighted algorithm associates event attributes and variables to every piece of information we store to help determine how important they are.

Making Flat Event Data Intelligent

Because hurricanes need to be handled carefully

Just because your business might be based on one side of the country, doesn’t mean a major weather event happening on the other side of the country won’t impact your bottom line. But no one’s got time to trawl through every local weather report, and not every meteorologist service provides hurricane notifications. That’s where we come in.

PredictHQ pulls multiple data streams and third party APIs across more than 18 categories (and counting) into one smart information source so all the events you can imagine are easily accessible. Lookup events and get JSON responses. Integrate our data with any platform - and to make integrations even easier PredictHQ currently has Python and JavaScript SDKs available. We use the OAuth 2.0 standard for authentication, and access tokens are required to grant application access to the tools available on the API. Developers won’t need to spend precious time capturing, cleaning and maintaining disparate data sources. Plus, our API is versioned for easier maintenance. You can even search for events near a specific location using airport IATA codes, search within a geographical radius, or query multiple locations and categories at the same time - all essential if you run an international company that needs to know what’s happening everywhere all at the same time.
