Foreca Agriculture API review
A forecast-data API for agriculture teams building weather-aware products.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Foreca Agriculture API provides hourly and daily agricultural forecast data for locations identified by coordinates or a Foreca location ID. Its audience is developers and businesses building weather-aware products for agriculture, particularly API teams that need forecast parameters to support their own workflows or services. The available parameters include reference evapotranspiration (ET0), vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and downward surface solar radiation (SSRD), alongside lower and upper estimates for 24-hour and seven-day precipitation totals.
The feature set centers on forecast inputs rather than a broader set of field-management tools. Hourly requests can use configurable forecast periods and time zones, while both hourly and daily data can be requested by location. This makes the API a fit when an organization wants to incorporate agricultural weather data into its own product or systems. It is API-only, so teams seeking a standalone interface for viewing field conditions should consider a different kind of product. The listed capabilities focus on forecast parameters; disease, frost, and station support are not among them.
Foreca lists Agriculture as an additional API feature available on request through its sales team, and the pricing model is contact sales. The general API offers a 30-day free trial, but Agriculture access is not confirmed as part of that trial, so buyers should ask Foreca about access and commercial terms before planning an evaluation. The product is cloud-deployed, with email and documentation listed as support channels. Choose it when forecast weather parameters, including ET0, VPD, solar radiation, and precipitation estimates, are the needed building blocks. Look elsewhere if a field-facing interface or capabilities such as disease, frost, or station support are central requirements.
