Challange for the PRO

[JamX]

Is it possible to capture this part:

Windfinder.JPG

from the site: https://www.windfinder.com/weatherforecast/olderplas_ool

Some coding would be appriciated.

[balala]

Which part? All numbers from that table? I don't think it would be possible, because a WebParser measure can return up to 100 strings, not more.
But let's clarify first what would you like to get, because I'm not sure.

[JamX]

Hi Balala,

You are right, this will be to much for the webparser
Fore sure if I want all the colored bars , icons, values, etc etc.

There is also a less detailed page: https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/olderplas_ool

Maybe better to be used

Windfinder3.JPG

And then only the first 3 days.

If this is still to much I'd settle with the 3 forcast days in the top.

And if possible all 3 days separate so I can put them on different locations in the skin

There is also a less detailed page: https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/olderplas_ool

The following code gets the information from this site. For now it only parses the (first) current day, getting the time, the wind speed, wind gusts, air temperature and air pressure. These are shown on a simple skin. Please check it if this is what you want. Obviously there is a lot of work to get the information for the upcoming days, this is just a start to work with.

Excellent!
Great work/start.

This skin will be for windsurfing forecasting.

The "luchtdruk" airpressure I do not need.

The Time, wind direction, wind speed, wind gust, weather Icon and precipitation I do need.

The vane I also can make myself based on the degrees of the wind.

Great to see your speedy response and off cause your knowledge.

PS. If this site changes his layout will the data then also be wrong?

Maybe stupid question:
Is the data from wxdata.weather.com not available at certain pre-defined hours. (5 -8 -11 - 14 - 17 - 20)hours?

[balala]

Great work/start.

Ok, I'm glad if you got it working for now.

The "luchtdruk" airpressure I do not need.

Ok, will remove it.

The Time, wind direction, wind speed, wind gust, weather Icon and precipitation I do need.

It seems I'll have to add the wind direction, the weather icon and the precipitation.

The vane I also can make myself based on the degrees of the wind.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "vane". What do you mean?

PS. If this site changes his layout will the data then also be wrong?

Unfortunately in this case the skin won't work anymore, having to be rewritten.

Maybe stupid question:
Is the data from wxdata.weather.com not available at certain pre-defined hours. (5 -8 -11 - 14 - 17 - 20)hours?

No, I think they are avilable all the time. There are no such pre-defined hours.

What do you mean with "available all the time". You mean in the forecasting they only have the whole day forecast and not hourly periodes?

[balala]

The wind direction icon

Ok, let's see how can we get it.

What do you mean with "available all the time". You mean in the forecasting they only have the whole day forecast and not hourly periodes?

I suppose they indeed have no hourly periods.

Unfortunately I don't work today with this code, because slightly - slightly here is too late to furtherly work. Will continue tomorrow, if you don't mind. Sorry...

[JamX]

No problem..

But maybe you could also have a look at this site:
https://windy.app/forecast2/spot/37930/Roermond+Oolderplas

Windy.JPG

They also have a widget you can install on a site with this code.
"<div
data-windywidget="forecast"
data-spotid="37930"
data-appid="5e7b8236ff0cf30bc2e491953dc99f8a">
</div>
<script async="true" data-cfasync="false" type="text/javascript" src="https://windyapp.co/widget/windy_forecast_async.js"></script>"

This javascript file could also be a more structured and stable datasource

Unfortunately Rainmeter can't use sites running java scripts. So, we have to stay on the previous site.
