API for the timeseries historical data

[nkafle89]

I am new here so pardon for lack of thorough research before asking this. Wanted to see if there is an API to collect the time-series historical data? For example the data present in the following.

https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=KDFW&hours=48&units=english&chart=on&headers=on&obs=tabular&hourly=true&pview=standard&history=yes&start=20210401&end=20210501

You should be able to get this data from the /stations//observations endpoint, e.g. https://api.weather.gov/stations/KDFW/observations

I think observations on the API have a three day history; whereas climate.weather.gov has more historical data.

climate.weather.gov doesn't seem to exist? Were you referring to something else, like climate.gov?
The page OP posted seems to be loading data from mesowest.net, which is something else.

I've poked around at both those and other sources, but the observation types they have don't match up exactly to what weather.gov has. So it would handy if there was a historical dataset of the exact same thing.

Climate has a tempoary home here until the NWS can determine what the future holds for it. Surprised there is no redirect.

MADIS is the official observation system for the NWS. You can pull data directly from that, but it is not as friendly at the API.

Dear all,
does anyone here know where to get a complete station list for the MADIS related data?

The API at api.weather.gov seems to be very limited, actually it doesn't even allow to get all lists for e.g. California which probably relates to the big amount of stations there.

And there's not even a way to chunk requests for CA stations as we can only limit the request to maximum 500 stations.

Trying to get the data into our system at https://github.com/earthobservations/wetterdienst

Cheers,
Benjamin

@gutzbenj see my response right above yours.
