I can get historical weather data from my own Tempest, but I’d like to get the same data from other Tempests. I’m using the following request of the API to get my Tempest’s data from one date to the next:

> url = “[https://swd.weatherflow.com/swd/rest/observations/device/118620?time\_start=](https://swd.weatherflow.com/swd/rest/observations/device/118620?time_start=)” + time\_start + “&time\_end=” + time\_end + “&format=csv&token=” + api\_key

I’ve been trying other’s Tempest Device ID’s with no luck. What am I doing wrong???

You can’t do this. WF’s Data Access Policy only allows you to access data and forecasts from your own station using a Personal Access Token. An enterprise agreement is required to access data from third-party stations.
