Following up to myself .. there are two endpoints that are provided for
conditions:
- Observations
- Conditions {/Summary}
The code uses Observations, which based on the documentation[1], should be
the source of truth. In my case, there are no nearby stations which report
these data. However, Conditions does, which is an interpolation of various
sources.
I believe the underlying code, rightly, expects a specific JSON format of
current conditions. I will need to do some more analysis to figure out the
proper alternative endpoint and how to support it. I also think that this
discussion probably does not belong in this group. I will create a
discussion[2]. My apologies for the clutter.
Thx!
