This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed
We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
api.weather.com is the API endpoint of weather.com, the same brand and property as The Weather Channel app (bundle com.weather.TWC), so this is a first-party backend contact rather than a third-party tracker; ownership per Apple was not provided, but the domain match with the app's own brand is the basis here. The app's label already declares collecting and sharing location, device IDs, and app interaction data, which covers the kind of data a weather app's own API would receive.
OpenAI — first-party
api.weather.com appears to be an API endpoint for The Weather Channel's weather.com service. The app's privacy label declares collection and sharing of relevant identifiers, usage data, diagnostics, and location data, so this contact is not shown to be undisclosed.
Google Gemini — first-party
api.weather.com is the first-party API domain for The Weather Channel app. The app declares extensive data collection and sharing, so this contact is not undisclosed.
