API

Interested in using some of MetaWeather's lovely data are we huh? Well, in addition to the RSS & Atom feeds and Javascript includes we offer, you can now query our REST-based API. The rules are simple:

• Not so fast sonny! There's no hard limit to the number of requests you can make, but try and keep it below one every couple of seconds or so please. Be kind to over-worked servers.
• Link us up! Please link back to our homepage, or a location's page for every page of information you display.
• In the money? Drop us a line and ask before you use any of the data from this API commercially.
• Hotlinkin' Its okay to hotlink our weather icons, if you want to.
• Problems? Drop us an email - jason@ferrago.ltd.uk

We're going to need issue you some keys in order to allow you access to the API. We won't use this email address for anything other than communication about the API. Promise!
