Third Party Attributions

Customer’s application must show attribution as given in API response. For example, the Capabilities endpoint in Weather Map API responds with layer info telling the required attribution text.

Currently the following organisations must be attributed if their data is used:

Radar data: Aemet, BOM, DMI, DWD, EC, FMI, InMet, JMA, KMI, KNMI, MET, Eireann, MeteoSchweiz, MF, Met Office, MET Norway, NWS, Protezione Civile, SMHI, SMN, ZAMG

Authorization

Authorization endpoint is used to fetch tokens for API access. Tokens are disposable, and should only be used for a single session. User and password must be kept secret and this request must be performed from a trusted source. Token lifetime in seconds is given in the authorization response.

Token

  • user

    Application key username

  • password

    Application key password

  • expire_hours (optional)

    Expiry time in hours (default 1, maximum 168)

    • Map API

    Weather Map API provides global weather forecast, radar and satellite data as map tiles compatible with commonly used map services such as Open Street Maps or Google Maps. All required and optional parameters are given as path and query parameters respectively. To obtain images one must first request an access token using valid credentials. The access token can then be used to fetch capabilities-response, which contains information on how to fetch images.

    Capabilities

    Capabilities endpoint is used to fetch layer metadata. This metadata is used to perform image queries. Capabilities-response provides layer information such as description, temporal and spatial extents as well as available color schemes. Images are layers renderable to image formats such as png or svg. The current data property in time element is the index to the most recent available time. Image products may have additional color schemes which can be optionally specified.
