National Weather Service

How it works

1. You search as usual, over HTTP or MCP, and Grounder searches the web.
2. For a question about right now that National Weather Service can answer, Grounder also asks National Weather Service, beside the web search.
3. The answer from National Weather Service is served first, with the time it was read, and routing.live_calls lists it.

Grounder reads National Weather Service without a key: the source is a public feed.

Using it

Ask the way you would ask any search. Grounder asks National Weather Service when the question needs what the source holds.

Set National Weather Service to one of these under Specialized APIs on your account page.

To set it for one search, send routing_settings with the request. The docs ↗ list the rest of the request.
