HTTP API for weather forecast - /api/simplifiedfuturemeasure
Hello there.
I noticed that the "Control Dashboard" shown at https://home.netatmo.com/control/dashboard also displays a weather forecast, which is really accurate, detailed and awesome in the API response.
The API endpoint is: https://api.netatmo.com/api/simplifiedfuturemeasure
Part of the response e.g. being:
```
{
"body": {
"forecastDays": [
{
"day_ts": 1717538400,
"min_temp": 13,
"max_temp": 25,
"sunset": 1717615071,
"sunrise": 1717558014,
"rain": 0.97,
"uv": 6,
"windstrength": 16,
"windgust": 32,
"windangle": 120,
"winddirection": 300,
"wind_direction": 240,
"weather_symbol_day": "120000",
"day_locale": "Mi. 05 Juni"
},
{
"day_ts": 1717624800,
"min_temp": 13,
"max_temp": 25,
"sunset": 1717701518,
"sunrise": 1717644387,
"sun": 7.6,
"weather_symbol_day": "323000",
"rain": 0.35,
"uv": 6,
"windstrength": 16,
"windgust": 31,
"windangle": 108,
"winddirection": 288,
"wind_direction": 252,
"day_locale": "Do. 06 Juni"
},
```
```
I however also noticed that I am not able to call this API with the default access_token/refresh_token I can retrieve for my personal use at https://dev.netatmo.com/apps/.
Could you consider "opening" this API and providing it for your users/developers? I imagine great stuff to be built with it.
I am e.g. displaying my Netatmo station data on an e-ink display and I would really want to also display a local weather forecast.
Best regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
Indeed, the access_token from the webapp has a higher access level than the one from a classic third-party use. So that, some information are only displayed in the web app or our native apps
Forecast information are provided by a partner with an interpretation of their data in our API. Unfortunately, we can't display this in the public API as these data don't belong to us
Have a good day,
