# MinuteCast™ quick-start

AccuWeather's MinuteCast™ API provides access to minute-by-minute forecast data from around the world. Let's make a call to the 120-minute endpoint.

First we need geographical coordinates for our forecast location. The MinuteCast™ API accepts any coordinate pair, but let's use the coordinates for New York City to start: 40.7127°N 74.0059°W.

Now we can get the MinuteCast™ forecast by making a `GET` request to <code className="font-mono bg-gray-100 dark:bg-gray-800 p-1 rounded">{import.meta.env.ZUPLO_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL}/forecasts/v1/minute?q=40.7127,74.0059</code> and sending your API key. You can use our test console below to call the API right now ([log in](/signin) to get your free API key if you haven't already).

<OpenPlaygroundButton
  method="get"
  queryParams={[
    {
      name: "q",
      required: true,
      defaultValue: "40.7127,74.0059",
      defaultActive: true,
    },
  ]}
  url="/forecasts/v1/minute"
  server={import.meta.env.ZUPLO_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL}
