How to Access the Windy Stations Data

slawek931

Hi, I'm uploading data to Windy using CumulusMX from EcoWitt Cloud. All data is displayed on the map except pressure. After entering https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/open/API_KEY/STATION_ID I see that the pressure data is being transferred.
ID: f07e9664
Where could the problem be?

@slawek931 Hi, I forwarded these data to colleague and he told me that you use wrong format of data in some cases. Use this one everyhwere and it should start to display data in Windy in a while.

@Suty I did as you said, i.e. CumulusMX has now shipped to Pa. Unfortunately, after a few hours, there is no pressure visible on the Windy map. I'll leave it like that until tomorrow.

@Suty Unfortunately, despite changing the data format, the pressure is still not visible on the Windy map.

@slawek931 Hi, I am sorry about the delay with reply here. I have got info from the product team and pressure cannot be added there, since we have a filter to display only certain values to keep the readable data. Since you are sending rain and uv, pressure is not allowed.

@Suty Ok, thank you for your help and information.

@windywolf-0 I know it's an old thread, but I have just experimented with it and it works well. My URL (my secret key not shown fully):

https://stations.windy.com/pws/station/ey.......................................Ms/1

Notice the /1 at the end. That is not my User ID, but Station ID, which is a number 1, 2, 3, etc. I have two stations registered. As the API secret key is unique, there is not need for further id's other than which station you want to output as you can have multiple stations registered.

Output is somehting like this:

My reporting happens from a C#/.NET program I have made that runs locally in my house so it can access the WeatherLink device and read out data every 5 minutes. That is a very good and stable solution that runs 99.9%.

@slawek931 did you happen to get this to work?
I am using ecowitt and would like to upload data to windy but I'm not entirely savvy with this, if you got it to work, would you be able to helpe out with the steps to do it.

Thank you.

Hello,

How exactly does sending a precip value work?

I am sending precipitation for the last hour as written in the parameter. I have programmed a time window where precipitation for the last 60 minutes is stored and the value is sent every 5 minutes. Anyway, I don't think that adding up the precipitation on the windy side works correctly or the interpretation of this parameter is wrong.

I will give an example of what I send.

10:00 - 0mm (past hour)
10:05 - 5mm (past hour) ------+5mm rain between 10:00-10:05
10:10 - 5mm (past hour)
10:15 - 5mm (past hour)
10:20 - 5mm (past hour)
10:25 - 5mm (past hour)
10:30 - 20mm (past hour)------+15mm rain between 10:25-10:30
10:35 - 20mm (past hour)
10:40 - 20mm (past hour)
10:45 - 20mm (past hour)
10:50 - 20mm (past hour)
10:55 - 20mm (past hour)
11:00 - 20mm (past hour)
11:05 - 20mm (past hour)
11:10 - 15mm (past hour) -------minus 5 because an hour has passed since the rains
11:15 - 15mm (past hour)
11:20 - 15mm (past hour)
11:25 - 15mm (past hour)
11:30 - 15mm (past hour)
11:35 - 0mm (past hour) -------minus -15 because an hour has passed since the rains

So I don't know where the error is, but I'm sending the data as it should (according to the interpretation of precipitation for the past hour)

Thread update

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.
