API access for Windy Premium?
-
Hi, I've grown to love Windy and have recently gotten into Home Automation. Unfortunatly, it doesn't seem possible to integrate Windy with platforms such as Home Assistant. I think this type of integration would provide a lot of value but it would have to be supported. The best approach I see is something like the following.
Windy Premium subscribers get an access token that lets them retrieve information from 3-4 defined cordinates that can only be changed every 3-4 months and are limited to however many requests per day.
This would allow Windy premium subscribers to integrate their Windy with other platforms/services that they use without providing them so much access as to devalue professional API access.
Thoughts?

Exactly! I'd also love to use api for some home automations.
Currently I have to use openweathermap, but their "current temperature" data is not so accurate in my case.

Hello,
I would like to resurrect this topic, as there wasn't any official answer from Windy.
I have just purchased a Windy Premium to support the project and would like to use also the API for the same reason as the OP asked for, to add weather forecast to my Home Assistant setup.
I am literally looking for a single location's forecast data, and in return I could provide my weather station's data as a data input for that location.
I am tagging @Korina, as she seems to be able to answer these kind of requests.
Best Regards,
Gábor

There is another recent topic which asked about the same feature.

@Gábor-Szabados @Rocket_Man @equidamoid I will discuss this topic with colleagues, however, we have no specific plans for this implementation.
