How to post weather info to website

thieled · January 28, 2015 at 09:55

I've built the weather station and wanted to post my data to a website. Tinkerforge have python code to do this using xively. However when I try to create an xively account I've been put on a waiting list.

Is there any alternative that a newbie pythoner would be able to implement?

Many thanks!

You could try http://beebotte.com/

..which also has a Python API!

Thanks nattfoedd - I'll look into it.

However as a newbie programmer I suspect I'm not quite at the level to implement this myself. Has anyone written python code that interacts with this site that I could look at?

Well I've edited the xively code for beebotte as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import logging as log

log.basicConfig(level=log.INFO)

It runs OK for a while and then I get the following error message:

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thieled,

You can try posting your data to the www.grovestreams.com platform. It uses a RESTful API. It also has wind speed direction charting capability. API info is at https://www.grovestreams.com/developers/developers.html .
