integrate / build 'weather radar' widget

Question

I'm looking to integrate a 'weather radar' widget into a site I'm building.

The only available resource I can find is: http://www.meteoonline.co.uk/gadgets/Europe/Netherlands/135

• which basically delivers a flash mov in a iframe ! urrrgh! - and 'permission denied' of course with any javascript interaction on the iframe..

Can anyone suggest an alternative resource / or approach ?

I'm happy to work with the raw data if I can get it .. any ideas welcome !

site is like >[ html5 + jquery on django ]

Answer 1

My suggestion would be to check Programmable Web to see what APIs are available for weather data. A quick scan shows they had a blog post about 5 weather APIs last year and filtering by 'weather' category I see 10 available now. I don't know if any of them have a radar but it would be a good place to start.

-> Find an RSS feed of radar images for your target area
