Hi Thomas and Louis, Thank you for your swift responses!
I'm not very familiar with coding in Python, so Louis' approach sounds more likely to fit my python skills ;) As a background: At the moment we have a Vantage Vue connected to a Mac Mini running LWC. LWC is responsible to call an URL with the weather data as a query parameter. It was running properly for at least 4 years now; but now it's not that stable anymore. Besides the (headless) mac mini is offcourse complete overkill to just transfer the weatherdata to our servers :) (It used to have more jobs; but the were migrated to the cloud :) Just a couple of additional questions: - At the moment we share the data with CWOP and Wunderground; those other services listed in [stdRESTful] share the same config, so they all could be used as a private service? - How is the data transfered to the service? As a POST or GET request? And how is it built? Thanks (again) for you answers!
