<p dir="auto">Not sure how many developers are on this forum but lets give it a shot.</p>
<p dir="auto">I am in the process of building a little data logging system for wildfires in rural areas. I want to add onto it to by enriching the data with what the wind was during the time of the fire which can always be used afterwards for analysis.</p>
<p dir="auto">My question is would it be better to call windy every time I pull up a report although not sure how far the data goes back or would it be best if I have the backend server make all of the Windy api calls?</p>

<p dir="auto">Windy doesn't have historical data so calling the API every time wouldn't help. Check out <a href="https://api.windy.com/point-forecast/docs" rel="nofollow ugc">Point Forecast API docs</a> for more information.</p>
<p dir="auto">Generally speaking, the way for you is to have a backend that calls Windy API and stores current measurements when a fire event occurs.</p>
<p dir="auto">Good luck with your project!</p>
