US Climate Risk Score API

What it does

Climate Score returns a climate score for a specific latitude and longitude. Send lat and lon as query parameters, and get a structured response for that coordinate lookup.

Use Climate Score when you need to attach climate context to a place, compare locations, or add environmental scoring to a mapping workflow. It fits applications like site selection, location ranking, travel planning, and analytics dashboards that work with geographic coordinates.

The input is simple: lat must be a number between -90 and 90, and lon must be a number between -180 and 180. The endpoint responds with a JSON object, so you can process the result directly in your application without additional parsing steps.

If your product already works with coordinates, Climate Score gives you a lightweight way to enrich each point with climate-related data in a consistent API response.
