My own small hobby project. It gathers data from OpenWeatherMap, but will soon get data from another API. Check https://lemmy.ml/post/337241 for the official website that uses Serenum API.

So you created an API using OpenWeatherMap API? what's the benefit of using this over the OWM API?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OpenWeatherMap basically only provides current weather data and forecast data. If you want to know more (for an example, air pollution), you need to call another API that OWM provides.

Serenum API provides current weather data + weather forecast, astronomical data, air pollution, risk of pollen (requires an API key from Ambee), grams of H2O per kg of air, and detailed date and time information of the chosen place + information about the place (like address, city, county, etc.). All in 1 place.

Serenum API also let you see the current weather differences between 2 places + the distance between them 2.
