MeteoGalicia service
MeteoGalicia service offers the data of the galician automatic meteorological stations network. This network is supported and assessed by the Xunta de Galicia and the data should be trustworthy.
MeteoGalicia options
Temporal resolution
MeteoGalicia API offers data at different temporal resolutions:
- “instant”, returning the latest measures for all or selected stations.
- “current_day”, returning the latest 24 hours of measures for all or selected stations.
- “daily”, returning the daily aggregated measures for all or selected stations.
- “monthly”, returning the monthly aggregated measures for all or selected stations.
In both, “daily” and “monthly”, a start_date (and
optionally an end_date) arguments must be provided,
indicating the period from which retrieve the data.
Stations
MeteoGalicia API allows specifying stations code to narrow the data
retrieved. So, a character vector of station codes can be supplied in
the stations argument.
