Data APIs
What are the Data APIs on upAPI?
upAPI’s Data category has 6 public APIs, including Geolocate IP Address, Get BBC News Headlines, Get Current Weather, Get Wikipedia Article Summary and 2 more. Each is a single HTTP POST to api.upapi.io with an X-Api-Key header and returns JSON. They share one API key and one pooled monthly quota with every other upAPI operation, so there is no separate signup or billing per provider.
6 production-grade data APIs on upAPI. Every endpoint below is live behind the same gateway, takes the same API key, and returns JSON — no per-provider signup, no per-provider billing.
Geolocate IP Address
Resolve an IP (IPv4 or IPv6) to city, region, country, lat/long, timezone, ASN, and currency. Omit the ip field to geolocate the caller.
Get BBC News Headlines
Fetch headlines from a BBC section (news / world / business / technology / science-environment / entertainment-arts / sport) via the official BBC RSS feeds. Pure HTTP (no browser). Returns title, article URL, and summary for each headline.
Get Current Weather
Current temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and condition code at the given lat/long via Open-Meteo (free, no auth). Metric or imperial units.
Get Wikipedia Article Summary
Fetch a Wikipedia article summary (description + extract + thumbnail + coordinates) from any supported language via the public REST API.
Look Up Timezone
Resolve a lat/long to its IANA timezone, country, current local time, UTC offset (with DST detection), and standard offset. Uses the free timeapi.io.
Wayback Machine Lookup
Find the closest Wayback Machine snapshot of a URL (optionally near a target timestamp). Returns the snapshot URL, its capture timestamp, and HTTP status.
Calling a data API
Every operation on this page is one POST away. Swap the slug, keep the key.
curl -X POST https://api.upapi.io/ip-geolocation.get \
-H "X-Api-Key: $UPAPI_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{}'Data API questions
How do I call a Data API?
Send an HTTP POST to api.upapi.io followed by the operation slug (for example api.upapi.io/archive-wayback.get), with your key in the X-Api-Key header and a JSON body. Any HTTP client works the same way: curl, requests in Python or fetch in JavaScript. Each operation’s page lists its input fields, its output fields and a runnable example.
How much do the Data APIs cost?
Every Data operation costs 1 weighted unit per call. Every unit draws from one pooled monthly quota shared across the whole catalog. See upapi.io/pricing for what a unit costs on each plan.
Is there a free tier for the Data APIs?
Yes. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 1,000 weighted units a month across every public operation, so you can try these on real inputs before choosing a paid plan.
