<![CDATA[Report your Weather Station Data to Windy]]>Important update: Original API is deprecated

Please note that the original API described in this post is now deprecated and no longer supported.

While it may still appear in older examples or discussions below, we strongly recommend migrating to the new API as soon as possible. The original (legacy) API will remain operational only until the end of 2026, after which it will be fully shut down. The new API is actively maintained, fully supported, and reflects the current and future direction of the platform.

You can find the complete and up-to-date documentation for the new API here:
https://stations.windy.com/api-reference

This post has been updated to avoid confusion for newcomers who may find it via search engines. The discussion below is kept for historical context only.

Thanks for your understanding.

There have been important changes since this discussion started.

The original API this thread was about is now deprecated and no longer supported. Please make sure to read the opening post, which has been updated with the current status and next steps.

We now strongly recommend using API v2, which is the only actively maintained and supported version going forward. The full and up-to-date documentation for API v2 is available here:
https://stations.windy.com/api-reference

Because this thread originally served the legacy API and to avoid further confusion, it is now locked. For all new implementations and questions, please refer to the new API documentation and start a new topic if needed.

Thanks to everyone who contributed here, and thanks for your understanding.

This probably has been already answered somewhere, but is it possible to load on Windy a public weather station? They recently set up one around 100m from where I live, and I was wondering if I could do that to improve accuracy for this location, since I could find only how to load on the website a personal one.

Most of the pilots I know use Windy for verifying airfield conditions before landing. What equipment should I install?

Is there any possibility to select the parameters that are displayed?

for example, changing UV radiation for barometric pressure.

All the best,

Looking at the log, there haven't been any errors in the past 7 hours, so maybe it's fixed, but it could just be luck. We get data every minute, but I'm not in control of that and can not let Windy drive the sample rate. I can of course change the code to send to Windy only every 6 minutes instead of 5 and that will eliminate the issue. I'll switch to a 6 minute send period, if the problem returns.

You should count 5 minutes since you receive response from us. Those issues you are describing are probably caused by network delay. I can maybe lower the interval little bit so we are not so strict about this limit.

]]>https://community.windy.com/post/191770https://community.windy.com/post/191770Mon, 03 Jun 2024 13:56:19 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Report your Weather Station Data to Windy on Sun, 02 Jun 2024 10:58:31 GMT]]>I'm getting relatively frequent errors when I try to send data every 5 minutes. I could extend the period to 6 minutes to fix the issue, but I think it's weird that you say that 5 minutes is OK, but then even a slight amount of jitter in the period will cause error messages.

"Measurement sent too soon, update interval is 5 minutes"

Here are some samples of the measured interval in seconds that show the the variations are around 60 milliseconds and we're still getting errors:

300.001
300.037
299.953
300.035
299.992
300.036
299.943

As an experiment, I'll add a static delay before sending the data. It will not affect the interval in any way, but it might help if the problem is in fact a clock sync issue. I could of course track the interval and add a variable delay, but our station is on a strict one minute clock, so the Windy data would start to drift relative to that clock since there's no way to claw back the added milliseconds.

This is what solved it for me. I used a script from a guy in Github:

Again, nothing changed on my side and Windy stopped receiving my data last Monday, April 29th. Does anyone know what changed here?

My PWS is regularly reporting to Wunderground, PWSweather and ThinkSpeak and everything is published.

Please help.

It looks like this API expects the weather station to be at a fixed location. My station is on a boat and as such, the data I send is based on my current location which of course can change.

Ideally I would be able to pass longitude and latitude values as query parameters. Is this possible?

Edit: I figured it out but for the edification of others;

You need to use the POST method (as opposed to GET). That way you can send updated server info (including lat and Lon).

It's not very user friendly for the non technical folks.

I use Ardubridge.com as sender for custom weather station built wit NodeMCU ESP8266, very easy to send data to Windy.com and other weather popular sites. Just configuring minimal credentials from panel.

Enrique
