Offshore marine alerts not visible on Alerts API #670
-
Hi, I'm not able to find alerts I've read some previous discussions here on the API not apparently distributing data coming from these parties or that there is no support yet for offshore weather alerts. Is this still true? If so, where could I find this data now that the support for CAP v1.1. API is coming to an end at the end of the year? Thanks, Eetu |

If it helps, the alert linked is a section of the Offshore Waters Forecast product for that region, whose current version appears at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAOFFPZ8.shtml. As a stopgap measure, you can scrape that page, split the message up by UGC codes, and look for warning text in each section. For the Eastern Atlantic and Caribbean areas, NHC offers RSS feeds of the forecast, but I didn't find any links to their Pacific counterparts. Might be worth emailing the NHC webmaster and see if they have those hidden somewhere. |
