Weather Data API Questions

Weather Data API Questions

Thank you for taking AgGateway’s Weather Data API Survey. We are currently working on a specific challenge that has been identified by the industry regarding exchanging weather data, and we need feedback from experts like you.

Our goal through this survey is to better understand how the industry is currently exchanging weather data to inform the development of an API based on existing work from AgGateway’s Precision Agriculture Industry Language (PAIL) ISO 7673 projects.

AgGateway had been working for several years to develop a standard for observations and measurements used to inform principled irrigation decision making as well as documenting the recommendations, work orders, and work records used with irrigation equipment. This survey seeks to take the final step to implement the work as a standardized API the industry can use for more efficient weather data exchange.
