News
As mentioned earlier we are discontinuing some little used
products from api.met.no, here is a complete list:
On February 1st we will remove the following products from the
textforecast service:
the route_fbno products (these will still be available for professional
users via NAIS which everybody seem to use anyway) the landday/long, seabankday1 and metkyst products (which are used to
generate more comprehensive forecasts) the iga_fbno43, easter and miskred products (which haven't been produced for years)
We have checked the logs and all of these have little or no traffic, so we
don't expect them to be missed. This is the full list of discontinued
forecasts:
easter, landday0, landday1, landday2, iga_fbno43, landlong, metkyst0,
metkyst1, miskred_north, miskred_south, route_fbno69, route_fbno70,
route_fbno72, route_fbno74, route_fbno75, route_fbno76, route_fbno77,
route_fbno78, route_fbno79, route_fbno80, seabankday1.
Also, on March 1st the textlocation service will be discontinued. We will
also remove the "land" product from the textforecast service. There will be
another forecast product to replace those two products, details of which are
to follow later.
At the same time, the product "seaoslofjord" containing forecasts for
Skagerrak and for the Norwegian coast from the Swedish border to Hordaland
will be discontinued. Forecasts for Skagerrak can be found in the "seabank"
product, while forecasts for the complete Norwegian coastline can be found
in the "coast" product.
We will soon also remove the errornotifications service, which is no longer
producing any data. This will be replaced by specific status messages for
each product.
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.
Change log

be removed as a valid parameter value. The product "seaoslofjord" containing forecasts for Skagerrak and for the

from our Textforecast service from March 1st. Forecasts for Skagerrak can be
found in the "seabank" product, while forecasts for the complete Norwegian
coastline can be found in the "coast" product. - Textlocation: product discontinued, 2019-03-01
