News
Due to licensing issues, problems with authentication and abuse of the
service we have been forced to suspend delivery of
non-restricted geosatellite images to the general public. Currently
there are only 8 unrestricted pictures from a total of 2162 which we
are allowed to distribute freely, but we have seen repeated attempts
to download images which are clearly documented as not publicly
available. Until further notice the service will only be available
for our own sites yr.no and halo.met.no.
Also, as part of the European General Data Protection Regulations,
we have updated the privacy policy for all our sites and services.
You can find the new text under
Privacy Policy Statement for MET Norway.
On Monday May 14th, 2018 from 07:00 to 13:00 UTC we will be running at 50%
capacity due to replacement of the cooling system in one of our data
centers. All services are expected to continue running, but latency times
and timeout errors may increase due to reduced capacity.
Also, as has been noted earlier, the domains api.yr.no and
beta.api.met.no will be turned off on June 11th, 2018.
Please switch your systems to use api.met.no instead.
Change log
- Tidalwater: 1.1 2018-07-04
Available implemented, only harbor is now a mandatory parameter - MetAlerts: 2018-06-19
Support for filter on incidentName - Textforecast: gale and obs removed, 2018-06-07
gale* and obs* are no longer permitted values in the forecast parameter - Textlocation: type parameter removed, 2018-06-07
Since there is no longer any types to filter on, the type parameter
has now been removed. - Sunrise: version 2.0 beta: 2018-04-25
XML format trimmed, toned and beefed up, date and offset params are now mandatory.
Expected to go into production in beginning of May. - Textlocation: discontinuation of flood warnings, 2018-04-05
Since NVE now offers flood warnings in standard CAP format via their API,
there is no longer any requirement for the MET API to offer these in our
proprietary format. As such they will no longer be issued, and the type
parameter will be removed in a later update. To download flood warnings in CAP format, please visit the NVE API at
.
