Today's temperature with a drawn weather icon, and the next days as columns with a temperature range bar each.
These are real renders from the API with the example values in the table below. Switch the size above: the same template lays itself out for all 6 sizes — send size or sizes with the request.
For local media, travel sites, event organisers and outdoor businesses. The sky tint follows today's condition, every icon is drawn in CSS, and the range bars share one scale so warm and cold days compare at a glance. Up to seven days are shown and unknown conditions fall back to a cloud. Wide frames put today on the left and the days on a glass panel to the right; square and vertical frames put today on top and the days below it.
Every field is optional. Long text shrinks to fit instead of overflowing; an image field takes a public URL that we fetch on our side.

accent and theme change per request. For anything more, copy the template into your account: you get an ordinary HTML template with the same fields that you can edit in the dashboard or through the API. If the slug is free on your account, the copy takes it — your integrations switch to your version without changing a line.
