Why are there so many weather APIs? What's going on here?
- Zafira 4y agoI believe this burst of attention at weather APIs is from the impending shutdown of the Dark Sky API.
- hbcondo714 4y agoIs there a public authoritative weather data source all these weather APIs get there data from? Similar to how SEC.gov[1] is for financial disclosure data? [1] https://www.sec.gov/os/accessing-edgar-data https://www.sec.gov/os/accessing-edgar-data
- djleni 4y agoThe NWS provides a lot of this, although maybe not all: https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api
- c0nfused 4y agoThanks for this, just spent a week playing with their older xml api and that looks really developer friendly in comparison. Older api: https://graphical.weather.gov/xml/ https://graphical.weather.gov/xml/
- calsy 4y agoAround the world, weather observation and data collection is in most cases a public service provided by the government. The accessible data weather bureau's provide is also unique and country specific.
- calsy 4y agoWell theres lots of weather isn't there.
