Authentication

Every request must be authenticated with your API key. The key is passed in the Authorization header as the raw key — there is no Bearer prefix.

Authorization: your_api_key

import requests

headers = {"Authorization": "your_api_key"}

resp = requests.get(
    "https://api.rebase.energy/weather/v2/point/operational",
    headers=headers,
    params={
        "model": "DWD_ICON-EU",
        "latitude": 60.1,
        "longitude": 16.5,
        "variables": "Temperature",
    },
)

Query-parameter fallback

Some HTTP clients drop the Authorization header when following redirects (the /query endpoint redirects internally to the operational or historical handler). For those clients you can pass the key as an api_key query parameter instead:

https://api.rebase.energy/weather/v2/query?api_key=your_api_key&model=...

Prefer the header where possible; the query parameter is only a fallback because URLs (and their query strings) are more likely to be logged.

Getting and managing a key

API keys are issued from your Rebase account. If you don't have one yet, contact Rebase to get access.

Errors

A missing or invalid key returns 401 Unauthorized; a key without access to the requested resource returns 403 Forbidden. See Errors for the full list of status codes.
