I am wanting to work out what times the weather I get returned actually relates to.
I was looking at capabilities:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint/product/uk-hourly-site-specific-observations/detailed-documentation
but all examples use
res=hourly
I am calling the weather res=3hourly but this doesn't work with the above API call.
eg)
http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/[site-id]?res=3hourly
what other options do you get with `res=`

Hi John,
The detailed documentation page you refer to, namely
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint/product/uk-hourly-site-specific-observations/detailed-documentation
covers observations, that is actual reports from various locations and these reports are hourly.
For 3 hourly forecast data the relevant detailed documentation page is
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/datapoint/product/uk-3hourly-site-specific-forecast/detailed-documentation
and this shows to call data for a site, e.g. 3772 you should use
http://datapoint.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/val/wxfcs/all/json/3772?res=3hourly&key=
<API key>
I hope this helps,
Colin
