Introduction to the API

Weather Data API is an Application programming interface(API) that provides a programmer with access to different WDR weather data in JSON format without connecting directly to WDR databse.This API saves the WDR system from being exposed to security issues that can arises when anyone freely connects to WDR system in need for usage of weather data.The API allows a user(programmer) to create an account with the API system before given an encryption key used to get access to WDR weather data.
