Somewhat off topic:
Their ‘forum’ is a mess also – a combination of a bad announcement, multiple rant-filled replies and calm responses by victoria from IBM and some shifting (over time) guidance about what will happen and especially WHEN. Originally, the announcement about the shutdown of the current WU API was done in mid-2018 for cutoff on Dec 31, 2018. It was revised to be 15-Feb-2019 as the ‘current’ date, but I strongly suspect that will also be moved as they are WAY BEHIND in offering the new API keys for the NEW API to anyone.
What is currently known:
- the wunderground.com website showing PWS historical data is NOT CHANGING (at this time) and is NOT EFFECTED by the WU API deprecation.
- the new API might be used for forecasts in the future, but is not currently used for anything else by my scripts.
My direct email questions to Victoria have been promptly and satisfactorily answered.
