Do we switch cronjobs to using the WFWX API? #904

Open Sybrand opened 3 years ago

Sybrand commented 3 years ago

Context: Originally, we were going to use our cronjobs hitting the legacy site as a temporary solution while the WFWX API was developed. The WFWX API is now in production, but does not have all the features we require (e.g. can't get historic forecasts).

Options 1. Wait for WFWX API to be feature complete (from PSU perspective).

2. Switch our cronjobs from accessing the legacy site, to accessing the WFWX API.

Decision to switch our Cronjobs to start accessing the WFWX API

this will also allow us to pull EC weather station forecasts and observed values.

but we will need to continue storing the data ourselves until a point where the API is feature complete from our perspective.
