NOAA Forecast API 'wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/xml/xml.php' not working

[tinkerj33]

I use NOAA API 'wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/xml/xml.php' which stopped working from early this year. Do you know which is the new working URL that replaced this one? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi there! Also running into the same issue with the wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/xml/xml.php endpoint and was wondering if you ever found a replacement or workaround. Would really appreciate any insight. Thanks in advance!

You replied to a 3+ year old post.

This is so old I can't find good descriptions of what that service actually provided. Best information I can find about it is that there is no drop-in replacement.

I think the closest replacement to it is the XML output from the /gridpoints/.../forecast endpoint in API. That is in a different XML schema than the old URL, though. Add a 'Accept: application/vnd.noaa.dwml+xml' header to your API request to get it.

Not likely worth the work to use XML if you can help it though. The JSON output is a lot easier to deal with in modern tools.
