How to use IMS — Israel Meteorological Service — a practical guide
If you're here, you probably want working code in five minutes. That's exactly what this guide does.
Five steps to get started
- 1Register at api.ims.gov.il and receive a key.
- 2Use header: Authorization: ApiToken <key>.
- 3GET /v1/envista/stations for station list.
- 4GET /v1/envista/stations/{stationId}/data/latest for live data.
Shortest snippet that will actually run
curl -H "Authorization: ApiToken YOUR_KEY" \
"https://api.ims.gov.il/v1/envista/stations/178/data/latest"Common mistakes (the honest list)
Station 178 = Tel Aviv coast. Station 73 = Jerusalem. Full list via /stations.
Product pattern: use IMS for Israel, OpenWeather for abroad.
