For a few months now I’ve had a station set up at our local hackerspace. We have a signage solution that displays webpages, and we’ve thrown our station site in that rotation.
As of this week, I’ve noticed that station sites are no longer accessible to the public, showing this error instead:
Has granting access to others to view a station’s data changed?
There is an discussion of an undocumented per-day quota for requests to the public data for a station, when not logged in, at https://community.tempest.earth/t/real-time-data-is-not-currently-available-on-this-page/21159 . The message you’re getting is somewhat different, though what triggered it (at least for me) was using the data on signage as well.
I was able to work around the issues by just caching the weather data so that it didn’t do a poll of the tempest API on every single refresh. If it’s of any use, my code for the signage (piSignage) I support is at GitHub - lucienve/signage-utils: Utilities for generating pages to be displayed on community signage · GitHub , in the ‘weather_live.html’ script.
