Openweathermap Data

[Whizzwoz]

Hello how do you know that Openweathermap is getting your data?I have got the api key and cumulusmx has auto filled the satation id.

Stay Safe

They are not the easiest maps to use but mine does show as Komoka https://openweathermap.org/weathermap?b ... 97&zoom=10
Are you in this vicinity? https://openweathermap.org/weathermap?b ... 57&zoom=10

Enjoy,
Paul

hello paul this is what I get with the api:

[{"id":"60e101f009e7430001b9f34b",
"created_at":"2021-07-04T00:33:52.423Z",
"updated_at":"2021-07-04T00:33:52.423Z",
"external_id":"CMX-2107040033",
"name":"Lancing",
"longitude":-0.315,
"latitude":50.835,
"altitude":5,
"rank":10}]
To me it does not seem to be updated,I was going to try and delete the station and replace it, but I do not understand the comands on openweathermap site.
How do you use the comands?
Cheers Warren.

The API does seem to be a bit of a minefield, plus there is no way to directly get (station_id) current data and timestamp.
Although from your a/c you can get station_id data from > to, interval - all very confusing.

That is to say that the API interrogates your Account, where you declare what stations / locations interest you.

I think the info request you made above is referring to literally info about the station_id not the data !

There appears to be an 'echo' type response when you successfully send data, but I don't think Cumulus does anything with it.

Hi Warren,
I can't remember when I added OpenWeatherMap and it has been a while since I visited the site, but my data is showing.

Have you checked your MXdiags? mine shows:

Code: Select all

2021-07-13 19:10:00.157 OpenWeatherMap: URL = http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/measurements?appid=<key>
2021-07-13 19:10:00.157 OpenWeatherMap: Body = [{"station_id":"xxxxxxx7430001b9d25c","dt":1626217800,"temperature":24.8,"wind_deg":249,"wind_speed":1.2,"wind_gust":3.6,"pressure":1014.7,"humidity":72,"rain_1h":0,"rain_24h":0.6}]

Hello Paul yes mine shows the following:

2021-07-13 14:15:00.841 OpenWeatherMap: ERROR - An error occurred while sending the request

How do I delete the station from openweathermap and start again?

[DELETE] /stations/{:id}

I dont understand how to use this command.

Plus if I put in the following:http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/ ... nts?appid=(My API)

I get code:400001 Bad station id

So it looks like api key is working but not the station id.

Cheers Warren.

@warren .... careful what you play with !!!

Earlier you said

hello paul this is what I get with the api:

[{"id":"60e101f009e7430001b9f34b",
....
To me it does not seem to be updated,I was going to try and delete the station

I assume you were using the /stations/ url ?

Now you have ..

2021-07-13 14:15:00.841 OpenWeatherMap: ERROR - An error occurred while sending the request

Plus if I put in the following:http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/ ... nts?appid=(My API)

I get code:400001 Bad station id

1/ possible you have accidentally deleted the station ?

2/ ... because that is the url to send data (or ask for a range of data) and requires the station_id etc.

Use the url you did originally to see if you haven't deleted the station, if needed re-create the station_id with the required data.

[mcrossley]

How are you sending these commands to the API? Are you using something like Postman?

Hello Yes I am now getting this:

2021-07-14 05:45:00.353 OpenWeatherMap: URL = http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/ ... appid=<key>
2021-07-14 05:45:00.353 OpenWeatherMap: Body = [{"station_id":"60e101f009e7430001b9f34b","dt":1626237900,"temperature":16,"wind_deg":311,"wind_speed":2.2,"wind_gust":4,"pressure":1017.2,"humidity":

I did not copy it all but now seems to be sending data but lancing does not show up on the sites map.Maybe it takes time?

Plus looking the station up:

[{"id":"60e101f009e7430001b9f34b",
"created_at":"2021-07-04T00:33:52.423Z",
"updated_at":"2021-07-04T00:33:52.423Z",
"external_id":"CMX-2107040033",
"name":"Lancing",
"longitude":-0.315,
"latitude":50.835,
"altitude":5,
"rank":10}]

Yes I have looked at postman but cant get my head around how to use the commands.

Cheers Warren

Can you retrieve the data? eg 12 hours from midnight...
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/ ... appid=<KEY>

[Whizzwoz]

tried doing that get:

{"code":400001,"message":"Parametr to is required"}

[Whizzwoz]

I could give you my api to try and then afterwards generate a new one?


what is:1626256800 in ulr? its alright read up on it=Epoch Unix Timestamp

still getting: {"code":400001,"message":"Parametr to is required"}

Cheers Warren

[mcrossley]

OK, so that should be your data from midnight to midday today summarised hourly - so the data is getting there OK.
