weatherapi is a read-only HTTP API for weather data already stored by weatherfeeder in PostgreSQL. It exposes the latest observations, current conditions, alerts, forecasts, discussions, weather stories, and convective outlooks as JSON, XML, or text.

Quickstart

The service needs a reachable Postgres database with weatherfeeder-owned tables and the configured text template directory.

go run ./cmd/weatherapi -config config.yml

The checked-in config.yml is a local sample. For new deployments, start from examples/config.minimal.yml or examples/config.production.yml and provide database credentials through your normal secret-management process.
