Querying a certain time in Observations

[Gavin Hardy]

Hello,

I can see that we can return a JSON of 24 single hours from datapoint. However I only want to be able to return a JSON with a specific time such as 12:00, is there any way of doing this and if so could you please post the web link to do this.

Any help will be helpful.

Thanks!

Hi Gavin,

It sounds like this should do what you need:

http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxobs/all/json/all?res=hourly&key=***YOUR_API_KEY***&time=2014-10-21T12:00Z)

That will get the weather observations for all stations from noon yesterday.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply, unfortunately I am still getting the same error message.

What's the error you're receiving? Data is only available for a limited number of hours in the past....

I can't get time based JSON observation reports.

Using: 

http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxobs/all/json/3768?res=hourly&key=<key> 

I get a set of results, but using:

http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxobs/all/json/3768?res=hourly&key=<key> 6&time=2016-04-10T12Z

I get nothing.

How do I get data from a specific point in time? Is it even supported?

Thanks,

Lou

So I think my problem is that the wxobs data only goes back 24hrs.

Is there a service that can return weather data older than 24hrs, my application requires approx 1 year of historical wxobs.

Thanks,

Lou
