# weatherapi
`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, and weather stories as JSON, XML,
or text.
## Quickstart
The service needs a reachable Postgres database with weatherfeeder-owned tables
and the configured text template directory.
```sh
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`](examples/config.minimal.yml) or
[`examples/config.production.yml`](examples/config.production.yml) and provide
database credentials through your normal secret-management process.
## Endpoint Families
- Observations and current conditions
- Active alerts
- Hourly and narrative forecasts
- Forecast discussions
- Weather stories
See [`docs/api.md`](docs/api.md) for the HTTP contract.
