Retrieve NOAA Weather Point Metadata API

What it does

NOAA Point Metadata returns metadata for a geographic point when you send latitude and longitude as query parameters. Use it to look up NOAA-related point information for a specific coordinate pair.

Send lat and lon in the request. lat must be between -90 and 90, and lon must be between -180 and 180. The response is an object with additional properties, so the payload may vary depending on the point you look up.

This is useful when your application needs to enrich a map click, validate a location before showing weather-related content, or attach NOAA context to a coordinate stored in your system. Because the endpoint is point-based, it fits workflows that already work with raw GPS coordinates rather than addresses or place names.

Use NOAA Point Metadata when you need a lightweight lookup step between coordinates and NOAA-specific point data.

About this endpoint

What it does

Retrieves NOAA point metadata for a geographic coordinate. The endpoint takes lat and lon as query parameters and returns a JSON object; the response shape is not further defined in the schema.

Query Parameter(s)

Attribute	Type	Mandatory	Description
lat	Number	Yes	Latitude in decimal degrees. Minimum `-90`, maximum `90`.
lon	Number	Yes	Longitude in decimal degrees. Minimum `-180`, maximum `180`.

Response

Returns a JSON object. The output schema does not define any fixed top-level fields; it allows additional properties, so the exact response shape is not captured in the schema.
