Hi,
I have a ws5500 weather station registered as PWS at Weather Underground.
With a iPhone app I can read out my weather data anywhere I am.
I would like to build a arduino solution with an esp to read out the data of my station (which is public) from Weather Underground portal.
Now, when using Google, I only find solutions to send weather data (using sensors) to Weather Undergound. So, the other way around, as settung up a weather station .
Libraries for that purpose are available.
How can I retrieve the weather data of my station from Weather Underground?
There is an API available since a lot of weather apps use it.
For example: I have the apps "Wunderground" and "PWS Monitor" on my iPhone cobbected to my PWS showing the data of my station.
Thanks for any help!
Gr,
Ron
Not sure if you need an API key, but when you locate the website that tells you how to do what you want, it will be there.
The answer to your question is to google how to retrieve underground data
Here is what it returned for me
To retrieve data from Weather Underground, you'll need to either use their official API or utilize web scraping techniques. For official data, you can find historical weather data by searching for a location (city, zip code, or airport code) and a date range on their Weather History & Data Archive. If you want to access the data programmatically, you can use web scraping tools like Selenium WebDriver in conjunction with libraries like BeautifulSoup to extract information from the website.
I've got a feeling this question had been asked before on this form and solutions found, so try using the forum search and also check the "related topics" at the bottom if this page.
But, in short, yes, an Arduino can use an API if it has internet access. I have used ESP8266 for this purpose and I'm sure ESP32 can do likewise.
