I'm not sure where to pose this question, as it's not exactly a programming question but I'm looking for APIs that can return weather information, and I was wondering if any of you have ones that you've used that you can recommend? I want something with an easy to digest api (no SOAP for example, and no complex auth) and free so that I can use it in my IoT project.
Also it should be easy to specify gps cordinates or something for getting local weather.

Thanks! I just subscribed to that one and it looks great! The only problem is now I need to get GPS coords for an IP and the service I've found (geoIp) is pay to play. It's not the cost, but the fact that this is a demo project. I'd like to keep things free instead of per request.

That's nearly ideal! Thanks so much! I did find one that returned CSV which is easier to parse, but this could work. =)

For them Dutch (or those that can translate using Google);
KNMI - Data ophalen vanuit een script[^]
Download CSV with temp, rain, local windspeed, all that stuff. Dunno if other countries do, but that data is paid for with tax money and thus available to the general public.

Back in the 80s when we had noisy dot matrix printers with continuous paper feed from a stack on the floor...
What was that green-striped paper called? Was it "green band?" When I Google it I get all manner of "green" products and political BS. I did find one picture of the paper but the blurb was about the printer not the paper. Anyone remember what it was called? I'm adding a couple of style options to a DataGridView and want to use the name of that paper for an option with alternating row colors. TIA.

We always called it "Green Bar" back in my Univac days (80s).

Thank you! I was at least close with "green band." For me it was using a Wang OIS with that giant 4 megabyte hard drive.

I never thought of green as a more common color. I think of it as either light blue or light gray. Maybe that varied from country to country / paper manufacturer to paper manufacturer.
So 'green bar' doesn't ring a bell at all. We used to call it 'zebra paper'.

But no, the zebra paper I have used has almost without exception been of colors different from green. I have seen the green variant as well, and know positively that I can distinguish it from the light blue or gray variant.
When I think of it: It could be that the zebra stripes tend to be green in banking printouts (but not as much in other trades, e.g. software development). That makes sense in the US; not as much in other countries. I must admit that I was a grown man before I realized the strong symbol value of the color green in US culture. In most other cultures, it has no similar foundation.
