hi
anyone knows of an online worldwide forecast service? I am developing some python scripts with Pyext external that retrieve different
type of data from the net into PD.At the moment i have been using yahoo weather, this is quite handy because they have RSS feed that can be easily manipulated from python and returned into PD.
Currently i have scripts that tell me the external IP of my
computer and another one that uses the IP to retrieve geolocation data (lat,
long, nearby city, country ), using this i think i should be able to ask
yahoo for weather data of an specific city and country and from there access the RSS.However I think there are some copyright issues with yahoo weather. I read a notice in the HTML source of yahoo weather saying that this
data is not to be used without permission " ...You are prohibited from using or repurposing this data in any way without express written consent from Yahoo! ..."
It seems to be a sort of blabla from Yahoo.
I think if you don't make business, there is no problem.
The only problem i know with yahoo is that they can prohibit your
access to their website after several requests during 1 days (with
your IP).
I often 'hacked' the yahoo financial site for an installation using
PHP, MySQL and PD. I never had judicial problem. (i was living in
france and take data from US yahoo financial website).
You can use also www.accuweather.com. I use this site to make a small
install (in real time) with datas using the wind and temperature. I
never had problem.

some worldwide forecast service that would allow me to use the data?thanks
