Collecting data from a Web API (api.openweathermap.org)

Forum / Questions & Answers

We want to collect local weather information from openweathermap.org and store it in Canary.

I could write a little tool to get the data and put it into a CSV for Canary to read with the CSV collector, but is there a more direct way? Maybe a collector that can talk directly to a web service?

    Hi ,

    If you can create a csv file, then the CSV Collector would be a fine option. It just monitors a directory for incoming csv files which get parsed and sent to the historian. Otherwise, you would need to use our Write API to create a custom collector.
