API for weather data

[nita24]

Integration of other weather station should be high on the priority list.

• Weather Underground: now charges for a new API permission (existing one should work fine). I sent them an email to ask what type of fees are involved, but we may need to come up with another solution.
• Open weather map: https://openweathermap.org/ It is free, but since it is located in England, the system is a bit slow. It may or may not affect the performance, and also they will charge if we access too much data.
  • https://openweathermap.org/api
  • It is not our highest priority item, but I just want to share it with you. (otherwise, I will forget... ;) In fact, I am not sure this is the same one as the one I shared earlier with you. I remember you used the map function from them in the past, but I don't remember we discussed their weather data. I created an account and tested it out and it seems to me that it is relatively easy to use.
  • https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=39.11&lon=78.28&appid=ecedc9f07804a2e76af4167a38a057f8
• noaa gridded: https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.narr.monolevel.html

Wunderground

• Users to enter their own pws key for their station: https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=36260.0
• Data Model:
  • ftype: wunderground (newa, ...)
  • bundle = 'weather_station' or 'weather_sensor' (maybe re-configure old ones, each sensor becomes a station)
  • dh properties:
  • sharing: shared, private
  • wunderground_api: propcode = key, propname = staid
• API docs in Google drive: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eKCnKXI9xnoMGRRzOL1xPCBihNV2rOet08qpE_gArAY/edit
• Demo working for this. Script
• Station connected to a vineyard.
• Interface: 1 Update entry for each station linked we have a list of blocks, grouped by number of days since the last spray. Like:
  • Station WXBA44 (last updated 6/21/2019 05:15)
  • 2.2" rain, 18 wet hours since last spray: PV2018
  • 1.5" rain, 12 wet hours since last spray: CS2014, CS2018

function dh_weather_add_wunder_station($staid, $apikey, $share = TRUE, $parent = NULL)

function dh_weather_get_wunder_data($hydroid, $startdate)
// gets data for period (can new api do this?) and updates
// options for retrieval:
//  - hourly10day http://api.wunderground.com/api/Your_Key/hourly10day/q/CA/San_Francisco.json

I was thinking the same thing. Wunderground has the advantage that a number of vineyards with existing weather stations already push data there. Will we also need to support the Rainwise API?

It looks like the Weather Underground now charges for a new API permission (existing one should work fine). I sent them an email to ask what type of fees are involved, but we may need to come up with another solution.

The other place we can obtain API is Open weather map https://openweathermap.org/ It is free, but since it is located in England, the system is a bit slow. It may or may not affect the performance, and also they will charge if we access too much data.

Thus, it may be easier to just pay W Underground. We will see once they respond to my email.

Rain wise is not in a good shape at this point. The NEWA may ditch them, if Rainwise cannot get their act together soon. The NEWA can provide an API, but I think it is easier if we start working on Weather underground or other source so that people can use whatever they have. (And we do not need to be responsible for it!)

Cool -- sounds like a good way forward.

Status update -- waiting on WU to get back with regard to pricing and leaf wetness.

[nita24]

Thanks!
