Weather Data

Hi All, brand new user here...I am required to create a weather app for the UK. Is it possible to use data directly from the Met Office's API, or any other weather forecast providers? If so, how?

Hi Matthew,

You could try the Qlik REST Connector. In this connector you enter the API key and fill in the other parameters.

Hi Matthew -

feel free to get in touch - Bjoern
