Autocomplete

AccuWeather's autocomplete feature allows users to perform a location lookup with a partial city name so search boxes can be automatically populated and refined as a user types. This feature also suggests location names if a user is unsure of proper spelling. The top ten verified location results are returned, ordered by rank. While autocomplete works for all supported language localizations, it is optimized for Latin-based languages.

  • Global caching ensures quick response times and optimized service for users all over the world.
  • Returns a truncated response.
  • Only cities can be searched through autocomplete; it does not work with postal codes.

Explore the many location autocomplete endpoints in the autocomplete documentation.
