API Requests in Python

Drakiro

Hello

I'm looking for a piece of code, an example of code to retrieve weather data (temperature, pressure ...) with a windy API in Python.

I find examples with open weather map but never for windy.

Can you help me?

Thank you

Korina

@drakiro Hello, all the information can be found in our API documentation.

g.martins

data = {"lat": -39.809,
        "lon": -16.787,
        "model": "gfs",
        "parameters": ["wind"],
        "key": "abcd1234"
        }
header = {"Content-Type" :"application/json"}
s= requests.post("https://api.windy.com/api/point-forecast/v2", json = data, headers = header)
print(s.text)

The point-weather API documentation does not make any reference to include application/json content-type header. Please update the so people don't have stumble around trying to find out why their posts are returning 400.

2 years later and this simple addition is still not in the docs. I have wasted 30 minutes of my life trying to figure this out.

Pity, I was going to integrate Windy API into our new application, but considering the lack of interest in just simply making the first step of the docs complete I lack the confidence to continue further with Windy.

Windy seems to be a shiny on the outside but a bit rotten on the inside.
