Hi, the current code is in violation of TOS and will get you throttled or possibly blocked. As stated in the Terms of Use, you should "add a User Agent-string (UA) in the request with the application/domain name and version number". In case of a library like this you should use your site domain name + the name/version of this library so we can pinpont the issue in case of problems.

Trying to spoof by posing as a browser ('Mozilla/5.001 (windows; U; NT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0) Gecko/25250101') is considered abuse, is easily detectable and will get your ip address blacklisted if you generate significant traffic.

Hi, there is another example of implementing data import on PHP for JSON and API 2.0?

Unfortunately we don't have the resources to make example code in every programming language. However generic instructions can be found here:

https://docs.api.met.no/doc/GettingStarted
https://docs.api.met.no/doc/locationforecast/HowTO
https://docs.api.met.no/doc/FAQ

Also, since the last commit our most popular API products (e.g. locationforecast, sunrise) have been changed to new versions, so this code is most likely no longer functional and needs to be rewritten.

If you change the link to protected $apiRequest = "https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecast/2.0/classic?"; then the code works

Thanks. I just wanted to quickly start using the new ready-made solution. I myself am not that good at programming to quickly solve such problems.

Possibly. However it still violates our TOS, and is likely to get blocked in the future. Here's an example in PHP which has worked for other clients:

$opts = array(
  'http'=>array(
    'method'=>"GET",
    'header'=>"User-Agent: https://github.com/pionl/METno\r\n"
  )
);

$context = stream_context_create($opts);

file_get_contents($url, false, $context) 

See these links for more information:

@geira Thank you for the info. For past years i do not use this any more. If some one wants to make PR I'm gonna merge it. But still this repo needs some upgrading (not in my intention).

I'm gona probably archive the repository in some time.

Best regards
