Weather Data API

Closed

Met Eireann provide hourly weather data for each weather station on their website here: http://www.met.ie/latest/reports.asp

I would like to know if this could be made accessible through an API?

The datasets for each station are already available on their website but being able to access the latest data through an API call would be hugely beneficial.

    Hi All

    All observations are can be accessed here https://data.gov.ie/dataset/latest-observations and observations for separate stations for all hours of the current day are available here https://data.gov.ie/dataset?organization=meteireann&sort=score+desc%2C+metadata_created+desc&q=Today%27s+weather+

    The URL referenced below (...weather/short/Cork...) is for for internal use and was not intended for public use.

    So the response is, "computer says no". How is this archaic approach to data useful for any one using modern tool sets. The bus timetable system is equally useless.

    A quick probe of the website shows this example url:https://prodapi.metweb.ie/weather/short/Cork Just play with that?

    Hi, Thanns for checking. I wonder if there is any update on this? Or reason why there are no plans. We would like to add weather warnings on a county council web site. Would be hugely beneficial and very much in line with the national Open National Data Strategy...

    I altogether agree with Gar's desire for REST API accessible weather data.

    Gar - we have checked this with Met Eireann who advise that this data is not available through an API and that they have no plans to make in available. Regards Open Data Team
