windyApi forecast data update time

호두리

hello! we use windy api for our WAS.

I wonder how often windyApi data updates.

I knew windyApi data updates at every 0, 3, 6, 9, ... O'Clock.

However, I sent requests at 12:58, 12:59, and 13:05, all with different results.

13:05

Since the data is updated at 12:00 and 15:00, I thought all three requests would give the same result.

If I'm misunderstanding the system, please explain.

Thank you for your service.

Have a great day!

We use gfs model.

@호두리 Hello, the update times are every 6-7 hours, so what you mentioned is incorrect. Update times are here.

What location is this for?

@Korina thanks for mention!
I'm in Korea. And I knew we use trial version.
Is this the reason that data is inappropriate?

@호두리 Hello, as it is stated on the API website, the trial version returns random and slightly modified data. That is why you see such difference.
