Live integration example

Most of our work is connecting systems: Xero, CRMs, payment providers, partners’ order feeds. This page does the same thing with a public weather API, so you can see the pattern working.

How this page works

  1. We ask MET Norway’s Locationforecast API for each place’s forecast, identifying this site as their terms require.
  2. Each answer is kept until MET Norway says it expires (usually about half an hour), so we never ask more often than we need to.
  3. If they can’t be reached, that place says so for a few minutes and tries again; the other places carry on.
