WeatherLink: Generating an API Token

Many WeatherLink users want to use the WeatherLink API to quickly access weather data in XML or JSON formats. To use the API, you must generate a unique API token that is specific to your user account. This quick video will walk you through the steps.

Hello! Can this be used with the app 'KWGT', so I can make my own weather dashboard?😄

[@davisinstruments]

Hmmm. Not sure about that app. Maybe check with their developers?

When I try to call the API from my website, I have a message: "Origin 'mywebsite.com.mx' is therefore not allowed access." How can I solve it? Where do I define my website as an "allowed access origin"?

How can I connect the API to Power Bi?

Days ago I made tests about the API request and I got the JSON and XML data, but now I am trying to do this again and I get an "Invalid Request" message. My user, pass and apiToken are correctly veryfied. Please help.

Hi Yair. Our Tech guy Bruce says:
With WeatherLink2.0, you need to use the DEVICE ID instead of USER. Can you try this with the device ID instead? Everything else should be the same. If it still fails, we will need to see the exact line you are typing in.
We hate to request this since it has your password in it. If you DON’T want to share your current password, change it to something like changeme, at least until we are done.

Thank you, I changed the parameter and now it works! :)

After downloading program. (From Apple) it does look anything like this and doesn’t work or even show my weather station. This is scewed up and needs fixing.. I had more faith in Davis Instruments

Dale, so happy you downloaded the app. This little video is about using API, (and shows the website, not the app) and is maybe a step ahead for you at this point. If you need more info, feel free to talk to our Tech Support guys/gals. [phone], M- F, 7:00 am to 5:30 pm PST; or [e-mail].
