Nyheter

New API products 2019-03-04

We will shortly launching some new products, mainly of interest for Norwegian users. As described earlier, some obsolete products will also be removed.

textforecast 2.0

We have started the process of cleaning up the old text forecasts, with a new XML format (which can be validated), more consistent data structure and clearly defined areas. All of new forecasts share the same format and schema, including:

landoverview
coast_en, coast_no
seabank_en, seabank_no, seabank_wmo
seahigh_en, seahigh_no, seahigh_wmo

To aid in transition from textlocation, all areas are now identified with an id, which can be used to look up the corresponding geographical coordinate polygon. These files can be downloaded from the /areas endpoint, but we hope eventually to be able to include them directly in the forecast.

Textforecast 1.6

We have removed the "land" product (use "landoverview in 2.0) as well as "seaoslofjord" (use "coast_no" and "seabank_no" in 2.0).

Airqualityforecast

For some time we have been working on air quality forecasts in cooperation with several other public services. This is expected to go out of beta soon.

Routeforecast 1.0

This is a new image service for aviation, primarily offshore helicopter flights.

Textlocation 1.0

This product will expire March 15th. Please use the "landoverview" product in textforecast along with the area files.

Errornotifications 1.0

This service hasn't delivered any data for months and will expire on March 15th.

ExtremesWWC 1.2

This product will expire on April 1st, when we are turning off the WSklima service. There might be a similar service on frost.met.no in the future.

Discontinuation of text forecasts 2018-12-21

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.

Endringslogg

Sunrise: More data for version 2.0: 2019-03-14

moonposition is now repeated for every day in the interval, not just the first day. We have also added a phase attribute to moonposition to show the moon phase for each day, not just the first. Max days is now set to 15.

Since there are only additions to the existing format we assume keeping the existing version is more convenient than bumping so that everyone will have to modify their existing clients.

Upperwindweather: New /status function, 2019-03-11

The new /status endpoint will now list all received files, as well as any errors in transmission.

Routeforecast: Version 1.0: 2019-03-01

New version released, with new products seasurfacetemperature and temperature2m. No longer in beta status.

Textforecast: New version 2.0, 2019-03-01

We are in the process of revamping all textforecast products, with a cleaner XML format which can be validated and clearly defined areas. New products will be launched on the 2.0 version after they have been migrated, while the old products will be available for some time on 1.6.

So far the ocean, seabank and seahigh products have been upgraded to 2.0. We have also launched a new landoverview product which will replace the land and landmerge products, as well as the textlocation service.

We expect to discontinue 1.6 at the end of 2019, while removing disused products (mainly aviation forecasts) continously in collaboration with existing users.

Textforecast: land and seaoslofjord forecasts removed, 2019-03-01

Production of the "land" forecast will stop on March 1st, 2019, and will be removed as a valid parameter value.

The product "seaoslofjord" containing forecasts for Skagerrak and for the Norwegian coast from the Swedish border to Hordaland will be discontinued from our Textforecast service from March 1st. Forecasts for Skagerrak can be found in the "seabank" products, while forecasts for the complete Norwegian coastline can be found in the "coast" products.

Textforecast: aw_enry replaced by aw_ento, 2019-02-01

Rygge airport is currently closed, so no ENRY forecasts have been issued this year. Instead we are now producing aerodrome forecasts for Torp (ENTO). iga_fbno43 has also not been in production for a long time and has been removed.
