Historic Data

[whitead]

Hi, I'm trying to get historic forecasts in this format. Any advice of how to do that, including resources beyond this API? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure this API does not keep forecast history. You'd have to fetch and save them on your own.

Effectively, correct. It won't be the same API, but you can look at climate data: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/climate.

Technically speaking climate data is past observational data not past forecast data.

[whitead]

Yes, I would like past forecast data for some ML work specifically, not observational data. I guess I'll have to store myself

Correct, and the API is more about active weather not performance metrics.

How would you get info from this? It seems like a dynamic website for getting information

For historical forecast data the primary source is going to be the NCEI NDFD archive.

Unfortunately they don't offer the data in a JSON format like API (NDFD deals in GRIB format) but NDFD and our group do share the same source data.
