4 years ago, I posted about the weather service I did build. Back then, Serenum used OpenWeatherMap, but after a while they changed their API and I didn’t have any strength to make the changes in Serenum API.
Earlier this year, I started with the new version of Serenum without Serenum API (too much work, too little time), now using Open-Meteo. I released the first version last week as a beta and now I find Serenum enough finished to share it here on Lemmy.
Still in beta, though, since stuff needs to be improved. But everything(?) works as it should.
This is really nice. I notice that if I load the page for my city, then use “settings” to change the units on that page, then reload the page, the reloaded page is still in the old units. But that’s pretty minor.
I’m more interested in an API for this than in the web UI anyway, since I might like to use it as a widget.
Hi there. What kind of method are you using when extracting data from a website to your widget? I want to know this so I can plan further :)
I’ve scraped html for this type of thing but nowadays sometimes hit cloudflare captchas and the like. A json endpoint would be great.
Cloudflare are the worst! I’ll add an API that are based on JSON :) Might take some time, though, due to mental health issues.
The API has now been released. Let me know if anything goes well or not :)
