Is there a way to embed the graphs that are made in Wunderground into a website using html?

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #1 on:** December 18, 2009, 03:09:48 PM »

Which graphs are you talking about? For your weather station? Like these? http://www.daculaweather.com/daculahistory.php

m77 · « **Reply #2 on:** December 18, 2009, 03:44:14 PM »

Yes! Is it possible to separate the graphs and also I am interested in the other info too. I can embed the whole page as html but it looks messy and has ads around it.

Dacula's graphs are located here:

<img src="http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/wxStationGraphAll?day=18&year=2009&month=12&ID=KGADACUL3&width=500&showsolarradiation=1&showuv=1&showtemp=1&showpressure=1&showwind=1&showwinddir=1&showrain=1&type=type=3" alt="Historical Graphs" id="wxHistoryImage" />

I had wondered about that, too. I can read what the code is doing, but what tells it to change daily (like where it says day=18)? My html is really weak, so please bear with me.

I use a php script to get my history from Wunderground. They have so many graphs up there, I just wasn't sure which ones he was referring to!

m77 · « **Reply #6 on:** December 18, 2009, 04:40:57 PM »

Yes sorry the personal weather station graphs. If you know the station I'd how to you turn that into xml that can be posted into an frame? Also how could you get the customizable archival search option separated out from the rest of the page?
Apologies as i am a novice's novice.

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #7 on:** December 18, 2009, 04:53:25 PM »

Do you just want individual graphs, or all of the data? Picking pieces will be hard.
The php script takes exactly what you see up there for history, and leaves out all the other links, ads, etc, and gives only the history. On my site, the script is loaded and displayed into an iframe. It's very clean and simple. Go to http://www.daculaweather.com/misc.php and the next to last item in the left menu (Dacula Weather History) is the php history script.

Steve's right - it will be hard for a novice unless you are really familiar with php. You can grab snippets from other sites if you know Regex (regular expressions) and use PageScrape (which is what I do). But that ain't easy either. I would suggest you look elsewhere than WU for your graphs and data.

I have a page that uses the Weather Underground graphs. The page is html with java script to change which graph is the shown. I am not sure if this is what you want.
My page is here:

Steve that is great. How can I get some thing like that?

jmcmurry · « **Reply #11 on:** December 19, 2009, 07:04:25 AM »

If you are looking for both the graphs and data, I think the script you're looking for is available at http://jcweather.us/scripts.php. There are examples there to look at.

Thanks mate.

Does it involve downloading a zip file of stuff?

I thought that it would just be code that I can change the station Id for and paste it in or have I got it wrong?

An example in this thread looks good but only ever gives graphs for the 18th. December?

I use Jim's script on DeltaWeatherCam to pull from WU. [Thanks Jim!]

The graphs on WU are dynamically generated by the html code (the cgi-bin part). WU doesn't keep the graphs as image files, they just store the raw data and generate the graphs and other elements as needed for every web visitor. Because of that you will have to include the date you want every time you request the graphs. This is the reason that php is used rather than html.

m77 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 19, 2009, 09:49:37 AM »

oh, i was just after something that i could easily cut and paste in - for example like the code for the WU sticker, but except for the table of historical data or the graphs (that auto changes the date).

Bushman · « **Reply #15 on:** December 19, 2009, 10:21:01 AM »

Why not just use the graphs your weather station software generates??

m77 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 19, 2009, 10:35:54 AM »

As I think this means 24.7 pc which I cannot do. I am trying to get WL ip to feed data to wu so would like some sort of internet graph option.

Nice one.

I just need custom search dates in html then I will be a happy bunny.

Well that takes all the fun out of it!

Nice. Thanks for the idea.

AWESOME FIND!!

This is SO FUNNY, as I had just such a project on my TO-DO list, but I was dreading having to dig out the code and everything myself! SO GLAD that someone else already went through all that trouble! LOL!

Only problem I am finding with these with my PWS data is that my SOLAR and UV are not included in any of the main graph sections even though I have checked the boxes for them to be included. I used all the available options, and did see the SOLAR and UV graphs on the LAST SIX MONTHS versions, but there is no data in them.

Might drop a line to the developer since I see references in the code, but it may be wrong or WU changed the calls for those and this guy hasn't realized it?

I'll report back on that specific issue if I find out anything.

Meanwhile... Here is my version... Took me less than 10 minutes to make this page. I LOVE short projects! LOL!

Thanks again for sharing this time saver! $\:D/$
