Hi all,

I was wondering whether any metoffice api (perhaps specifically the datapoint API) provides flood risk or flood warning data?

I also would like to know if there is any data on rain levels or forecasts?

To provide some context, I am trying to build a tool which provides information to people who live in a flood-risk area and I am trying to get together as much data as I can.

Also the API key used in the example calls now does not seem to work. Is there a test API key I can use to see if this service is useful for me before signing up?

Many thanks

For active warnings you can use https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/PWSCache/WarningsRSS/Region/(regionId) (some regionsId: se, ee, sw)
Check https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/guides/rss for all the available regionsId

There's also now an official API for the National Severe Weather Warning Service.
