Today we released version 1.7.0 of the AerisWeather API to production. This update provides several new features, improvements and bug fixes. Check out the version history for the complete list of changes.
With 1.7.0, the API supports our new AerisWeather Lightning API add-on. This addition provides the ability to obtain information on lightning strikes from the past 5 minutes and within a 25 mile radius of a specified location. Both cloud-to-ground strikes and intra-cloud pulse information is available. Review the lightning endpoint documentation for more information, and contact us for a trial of the Lightning add-on or subscribe today!
This API update also makes several improvements to the advisories endpoint, including:

Another user-requested improvement is the ability to use mixed casing when querying by location name, state abbreviation or country abbreviation. Previously, if you were searching the places endpoint with a city name you had to force the name to lowercase:
1 |
/places/search?query=name:springfield |
Starting with 1.7.0, the name, state, and country values are no longer case sensitive, allowing the following:
1 |
/places/search?query=name:Springfield |
Or even
1 |
/places/search?query=name:SPRINGFIELD |
Many clients often use batch requests to group multiple API requests into a single call to the API. Previously the maximum limit request limit was 10 individual requests per API call. This has been raised to 25 maximum requests per batch query.
