It sure would be nice to have an API which tells you information from the closest publicly available weather station to the GPS coordinates you give. I like being able to get my own weather station data, but if I'm not at home, I'd like the closest station to where I currently am.

Anything?

I started sending my PWS data to Windy yesterday via the Windy weewx plugin. My station still doesn't show any data when I try to view it there is just a revolving icon as if it's searching. When I go to data page I can see data there but there are a lot of null values. My station ID is f0689a3c please let me know what else I can check.

Hi to the developer team. Thanks for all your work to allow posting data from personal weather stations.
I know this question has been asked before, but can you please give serious consideration to the option of getting just the most recent data for a given station ID? Having to search for this information by downloading 30 days' worth of data is rather cumbersome and just adds more unnecessary traffic to the internet. It would be far more economical to do the filtering at the source instead of the client.
E.g. how about appending an optional querystring value to the GET request:
https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/API-KEY/STATION_ID?latest
All the best.

Hello

my station sends data every 5 minutes since yesterday, but I can not see them on windy map.
The map just says "Error loading or rendering station data"

My Station-ID is f05644a1

I cant see any error in my data, so can you please give an advice what might be wrong?

Best regards,
Sven

Hello, i can see you are not sending any data for temperature and dew point, please check the API key and that you have set station ID for 0.

@korina
ok, the dew point is missing, thats right. But temperature is there, i can see it in
https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/HIDDENAPIKEY/0

and can't the dew point just be calculatet from temp and humidity?

edit: I now also inserted the dew point, so it should be visible within the next minutes

@korina

sorry, but regarding Station-ID f05644a1, I still get "Error loading or rendering station data". Station-ID is 0, Dew point is set, Temp also, I have no idea whats missing.

My last post was this:
{'observations': [{'station': 0, 'dateutc': '2021-03-03T10:26:56', 'temp': 8.2, 'wind': 1.4, 'winddir': 197, 'gust': 2.0, 'humidity': 74, 'uv': 848, 'mbar': 1003.2, 'dewpoint': 3.9}]}

Could you please look whats wrong?

@sv735687 Hello, if you added the station a few hours ago, it make take several hours more till it is display on Windy. Please wait until tomorrow.

@tomslavkovsky Hola, existe algún script en python que me permita descargar los datos de windy ?

Hi @eimemuri, would you specify your question? It isn't possible to download and store any of the forecast data we visualize.

@korina Hi! Is there a way the worldwide background data can be downloaded and used for the purpose of scientific research?:)

Korina

@shyanne_wang Hello, our data cannot be downloaded.
