The loss of the Google weather API
www.worldweatheronline.com
The Google weather API was somewhat of a curious service.
It was particularly popular with devs around the world, yet
was never officially supported by the giant that is Google.
Developers instead utilised the unofficial feed that was
available freely from the iGoogle homepage. So, when
iGoogle drew to a close the November of 2014, the
previously popularly employed weather API similarly ceased
to work.
What’s this about?
www.worldweatheronline.com
The Google weather API that never was
Whilst the Google Weather API has now been
confined to the digital graveyard of APIs, it’s worth
appreciating just how odd the offering was. This is
particularly so given that Google’s only statement
upon the service was that it was for ‘gadget use
only’. Despite this however developers made use of
the API in their droves. Then, one not so sunny day
in the August of 2013, the Google Weather API began
to provide a patchy and unreliable service. Users
started to report weather API errors and over time
these script-browser queries became increasingly
unreliable. Of course many presumed this to be a an
issue due to the API being unofficial, today however
we know that Google was intentionally switching its
service off.

Looking beyond the Google weather API
The Google Weather API has gone and it’s not coming
back. However with only a limited offering upon a free
provision it seems that for the serious developer the API
was far too limited for any form of sophisticated
employment.
www.worldweatheronline.com
WorldWeatherOnline weather API
To this end, the World Weather Online API provides for a
current offering that isn’t going to go anywhere, and that
provides for the following comprehensive features:
The local weather API provides current weather conditions
through hourly weather forecasts and for up to 15 days
ahead, covering a world of locations;
The historical weather API provides for data that dates
back to July 2008 – perfect for everything from travel
agents through to outdoor activity organisers;
The marine, sailing and surfing weather API provides for
marine weather forecasts that cover as many as 7 days in
advance;
The mountain and ski weather API covers data from the
top to the bottom of mountain ranges, covering up to 7
days in advance.
www.worldweatheronline.com
