Make MMM-Surf more international

[Doddie99]

Is it possible to rework this to make it more international, so remove the tide times from NOAA and have an option to just use MagicSeaweed feed? Would love to use this in UK but tide times from NOAA are required so not applicable?

I love the idea but sadly MagicSeaweed does not support tide data as part of their API: https://magicseaweed.com/developer/forecast-api

If you can find me a UKI source of tide data (NOAA equiv?) I'd be happy to look into integrating the data feed as an option.

Brilliant, there is another module MMM-Tides that uses https://www.worldtides.info/ This would make it truly international! Surfers everywhere will be using this module. I would try to help but only have basic Fortran and Python I'm afraid.

I'll take a look at world tides, though paying for data that most governments supply for free rubs me the wrong way. Stay tuned, can't promise when I will turn this around but soon (this is hobby only).

For my documentation UK sources can be found here: https://admiraltyapi.portal.azure-api.net/ (more: https://www.admiralty.co.uk/digital-services/data-solutions/uk-tidal-api).

Hi there, isn't it a free API as I signed up for it?

Sorry just saw the worldtides.info the api expires after 30 days, here are the details for the admiralty api: UK Tidal API API change history Station Get the Tidal Station for the provided Station ID. Returned format is a standard GeoJSON Feature. The tidal station number is used as the GeoJSON feature Id. The feature has a Point geometry. The following custom properties are returned:

Id - The Tidal Station Number to be used in other API operations. Name - The Tidal Station Name. Country - The Country that provided the data for the Tidal Station. Continuous Heights Available - A boolean to indicate if continuous heights are available for the Tidal Station. Footnote - Footnote text. Request Request URL https://admiraltyapi.azure-api.net/uktidalapi/api/V1/Stations/{stationId} Request parameters stationId string The Tidal Station ID.

Request headers Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key string Subscription key which provides access to this API. Found in your Profile. Request body Responses 200 OK OK

Sea Surface Temperature Data - Global https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/index.html -- as of today I have JSON pulls composed properly to allow for global SST data based on lat/lon.

Global Tides Exploring https://api.hood.land/api/tides as potential data source for global tides. Working to integrate over the holiday...stay tuned for updates.

Tracking progress... I have https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/index.html integrated and pulling data into the tool.

TODO:

• Add config item for US or International users. Proposed: spotCountry:US/INTL (REQUIRED)

Add logic to data fetcher & render engine to switch between two based on config selection. If US -> Use Tides and Current for higher level precision data If International -> Use coastwatch for daily temperature measurement
