    • RE: Pricing for personal use

      @Ondřej-Šutera, thanks! Have a look at Tomorrow.io's model. I believe it is cheaper to serve an API than the whole website of windy.com with the fancy map. And could make as much money with the premium subscription.

      @Ondřej-Šutera, you guys are missing out on the opportunity to boost income for Windy.

      The Home Automation market is booming, and quality data is well needed.

      Solar forecast is useful for automation planning how to use most efficiently your solar panels output as self consumption.

      Wind forecast is used for automatically closing awning blinds or window blinds. The same applies for temperature and UV forecasts.

      Precipitation forecast is used for lawnmower and irrigation scheduling. There are thousands of DIY enthusiasts who are looking for this kind of information.

      @Ondřej-Šutera, I came as a Home Assistant user, and I can show you some similar API access projects built into Home Assistant:

      https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tomorrowio/

      https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/metoffice/

      https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/accuweather/

      Access to current conditions and forecast are the usual use cases.

      I don't really understand why Windy hasn't created an API access model for this kind of personal use. It has been asked multiple times during the years as I can see from multiple topics. It could be bundled into the Windy Premium package.

    • RE: API access for Windy Premium?

      There is another recent topic which asked about the same feature.

    • RE: API access for Windy Premium?

      Hello,

      I would like to resurrect this topic, as there wasn't any official answer from Windy.

      I have just purchased a Windy Premium to support the project and would like to use also the API for the same reason as the OP asked for, to add weather forecast to my Home Assistant setup.

      I am literally looking for a single location's forecast data, and in return I could provide my weather station's data as a data input for that location.

      I am tagging @Korina, as she seems to be able to answer these kind of requests.

      Best Regards,

      Gábor
