Hey @Orinks,

Hey @Orinks,

I've been working on an API that gets the feeds from several weather radio sources, noaaweatherradio.org, weatherradio.org, and WeatherUSA (weatherusa.net) and combines them per station. If you want to check it out, it's pretty simple. https://weatherindex-api.dfweas.org/api/.

And if you're curious to see what a client for this looks like, https://weatherindex.dfweas.org/.

The goal is to have as many available feeds for as many weather radio stations as possible. It's still in early beta but it's coming along pretty well and should be in a stable state pretty soon.

@mrkrabs Oh, thanks for letting me know about this. Bookmarked and will look further into it.

[orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@mrkrabs Is your whole project, site included, based on the DFW area? I'd make it national if the API will include as much stations as it can. Also do you have a github for this out of cureosity?

[mrkrabs@someplace.social]

@Orinks The API is national. I had the domain already so I just used it, although I'll definitely purchase one. I don't have a public github for it currently. I just started messing with this a few days ago.

You can hit /api/states for a list of states, their total number of stations and stations with feeds.

You can hit /api/states/{state_slug}/stations for all the stations in a state (ex. /api/states/TX/stations for Texas). Each station has a feed count field, and in the web client, stations without feeds are hidden.

You can also hit /api/stations/{callsign} for a station (Ex. /api/stations/KEC55 for my local station). It returns the station info, including callsign, frequency and counties served and their SAME Codes.

@mrkrabs Does it perge stations that go down and/or inactive? I know these stations can go down at times, some running on servers that go down or some vary in quality too, or broadcast stations through a mic and don't have direct sound hooked up.

[mrkrabs@someplace.social]

@Orinks Yes. That's actually why I built this... Some directories don't check whether stations are up or down and it was really annoying me. It checks their icecast servers every few minutes and removes them from the list if they're down and puts them back when they come back online.
