    Thanks, filed an issue.

    Thanks, I've filed an issue that the locale shouldn't be used for units.

    They're deprecated under the "Specification" tab: the `/icons/...` endpoints in the endpoint list, and the `icon` field in the `GridpointForecast` schema. The `shortForecast` field…

    +1 Thanks. It looks like the Open-Meteo one may be worth a shot since it doesn't require an API key and briefsky is client-side.

    Comment #34977663

    The icon field is deprecated, no longer documented in the API, and also more complicated in practice, as it can mix multiple conditions, e.g. `...{day,night}/rain,30/snow,60?...`. …

    Unfortunately, the NWS API is missing machine readable condition codes/icons in the daily and hourly forecast, which is why it isn't available in briefsky. The API has nearly every…

    Yeah, this probably requires some explanation. Currently, briefsky doesn't depend on a geocoding API, so it can't map locations to coordinates or vice-versa. It just uses the lat/l…

    Thanks for the feedback. Will make a note of auto-expand settings.

    Seriously, thanks a ton for providing an API-key free weather API! That's why it's the default for briefsky. Sorry if there's a load spike today ;)

    Yup, all good points. I've found Open-Meteo's default to be subpar for US. Briefsky offers Pirate Weather too, but will require a free API key. (MerrySky is Pirate Weather, so it's…

    Thanks, I'll add it to my list. At some point I was thinking of adding a location search too, just depends on a free & reliable geocoding API.

    You can use lat,lon with the points endpoint: https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api , then properties.forecast and properties.forecastHourly endpoints from there t…

    Comment #34974259

    The main issue I ran into with the NWS API was a lack of stable conditions codes/icons (something like WMO codes that could be easily mapped). They encode some weird dynamic image …

    I considered handling this with some coarse longitude heuristic, but settled on just using the browser's locale for now, so it should default to metric for non-US locales. In the m…

    Thanks, I'll take a look! New plotting sinks are easy to add and I really would like to migrate to something more stable. Gnuplot has been finicky with many people's setups, and it…
