Could i use the Google weather api in a commercial project, by just adding a "weather powered by google" link?

+1  A: 

As far as I know the Google weather API is not an officially supported public Google API. It's internally used e.g. by Google Calendar or iGoogle. Therefore I think, the legal status is somehow indefinite.

It looks like the Google Weather API is not even an officially supported API, but a 'hack' found and documented by other people. So there is no terms of use that defines if you can use it commercially.

But if you look at a similar API offered by Yahoo, its terms of use explicitly prohibit commercial use, so I wouldn't gamble on using Google's API in your project.
