Weather Data

[Clark_White]

I would like to create an app that displays Weather data via a map along with Operational Metrics.   Is there a free datafeed or WebConnection that I can use for this?

I get this from the Load Editor.

Your new connection screen looks slightly different from mine. Are you using Qlik Sense Desktop Feb 2020?

Try this URL:

Maybe update it first. I've used some new features in the map visualisation that wouldn't work on your version

hi - if you are looking for a REST service to integrate as  datasource you can use the free tier of Visual Crossing as well :

Creating a weather app is a great idea! If you're looking for a free data feed or web connection, check out the National Weather Service API. It offers free access to a variety of weather data and is great options to consider. As for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use a simple formula to alter the temperature or even include a toggle button in the app so users can switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius. I have been using World Weather for a long time, as it is convenient, and you might be interested in checking it out. Good luck with your app development!
