k-Weatherlink

The k-Weatherlink jobs allow to scrape all sort of data from sensors connected to stations. The data are stored in a MongoDB database and more precisely in 2 collections:

  • the observations collection stores the observed data from the sensors, more information here
  • the stations collection stores the data of the stations

The project consists in 2 jobs:

  • the stations job scrapes the stations data associated to your account, according a specific cron expression. By default every day at midnight.
  • the observations job scrapes the last (current) observation of the stations above according a specific cron expression. By default every 5 minutes.

Disclaimer

The data retrieved and frequence at wich they are retrieved are limited by your relationship with the station and subscription, see more here.
