What happened to /gridpoints?

[HilbertIdeals5]

I want to quickly gather weather data for a personal project, where I map out forecasts across the U.S. I noticed that forecasts are assigned to gridpoints, and I found on the API documentation that you can use the /gridpoints endpoint to get a full list of them.

But for some reason, api.weather.gov/gridpoints doesn't work. Why is that? It would be much more convenient to go through every gridpoint in one go, without having to repeat calls for every single city.

The API doesn't support a batch effort at this time.

I'm curious where you saw this documentation on /gridpoints, because that has definitely never existed or been supported.

In any case, there are approximately 2.5 million gridpoints, so we won't be offering a full enumeration of them anytime soon.

I found it here: https://weather-gov.github.io/api/gridpoints
In the first section. Although with what you said about there being too many gridpoints, I probably just misread it....

I also just discovered that there's a list of forecast offices in the documentation itself, so my bad 😓

[HilbertIdeals5]

The only issue I have is that I don't know what coordinate points there are for each forecast office. If I do http://api.weather.gov/offices/RAH, I get links to zones and counties, but not to forecasts; and if I try something like http://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/RAH/1,1, I just get an error.

I want to take full advantage of this API and not miss any forecast data (I'm collecting from forecastGridData). So would this be too high of an expectation for the service?

You could argue that should be written without the slash as it was a general reference and not a specific example or speciation.

Are you wanting the forecast data for every grid? If you only want specific grids, you could use the /points endpoint to convert lat/lon to a specific grid.
