Weather info yr.no new API
#1
Hi,

service yr.no now use new API and advice use .json format for weather data reading. .xml will not supported anymore from start of the next year.

Info here: https://developer.yr.no/doc/

May be some created script based on .json and new API?

I just tried to read data for me and receive error:

link to info with .json:          https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationfo...ltitude=13


Script I tried to read data:
Code:
require('json')
https = require('ssl.https')
escape = require('socket.url').escape
url = 'https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecast/2.0/complete?lat=67.8596&lon=35.0904&altitude=13'
url = string.format(url)
res = https.request(url)
log(res)
data = json.pdecode(res)
log(data)
if type(data) ~= 'table' then
  alert('failed to load weather data')
  return
end

if data.error then
  log('error', data.error)
  return
end


I received such error:

* string: 403 Forbidden

User-Agent header LuaSocket 2.0.2 is not allowed, use a unique identifier

What is incorrect in my trying?

BR,

Alex

i tried it got the same error, looking at the documents it say "that you must send a unique identifier in the User-Agent header. Any requests with a prohibited or missing User-Agent will receive a 403 Forbidden error."

i don't know how to pass the headers with socket.url but i tried it with http.request, like the below with the User-Agent header, it returns the data

Code:
function get_request(url)

  local http, ltn12, sink, res, err

  ltn12 = require('ltn12')
  http = require('socket.http')
 
  sink = {}

  res, err = http.request({
      url = url,
      method = 'GET',
      headers =
    {
      ["Accept"] = "*/*",
      ["User-Agent"] = "1234567897",  -- i think this can be any number?
    },
    sink = ltn12.sink.table(sink)
  })

  if sink then   
    return table.concat(sink)
  else
    return nil, err
  end
end

x = get_request('https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecast/2.0/complete?lat=67.8596&lon=35.0904&altitude=13')
log(x)

You can override default user agent like this. This example uses LM MAC address to create a unique number for the user agent string.
Code:
json = require('json')
http = require('socket.http')
url = 'https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecast/2.0/complete?lat=67.8596&lon=35.0904&altitude=13'
mac = 0
io.readfile('/sys/class/net/eth0/address'):gsub('%x%x', function(v)
  mac = mac * 256 + tonumber(v, 16)
end)
http.USERAGENT = 'LM ' .. mac
res, err = http.request(url)
log(res, err)
