Accessing weather, ocean or environmental data should be simple: Meteomatics provides a REST-full Weather API to global historical, current, forecast and climate data. This includes derived data from different centers (GFS, ECMWF, UK MetOffice, Env. Canada etc...), radar data, satellite images, weather stations, lightning data, digital elevation model data, ocean and maritime data. Moreover, you can also retrieve derived parameters like wind power and solar power data and forecasts for any given location.
The API provides time series as well as spatial gridded data. The latter is also offered through a WMS/WFS-compatible interface. This package includes some examples to enable a quick start when dealing with this API.
An extensive online documentation is available through https://api.meteomatics.com .
