Weather — entry 014 of 31
ODWeather
ODWeather has been rebranded and relocated as the Windalytics Meteo Forecast API, still run by the same OceanDrivers company but now served from api.windalytics.com. It merges live readings from a Davis weather-station network with GFS/AROME/WRF forecast model output for coastal and inland areas aimed at maritime use cases, and now requires a registered API key rather than being fully keyless; the weather-webcam feature from the original docs is no longer advertised on the new product page.

Auth quickstart

Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
