I maybe understand your war against “WU”, and maybe also your feelings about the changes/postponements at NOAA/NWS.
But EC is a totally different situation:
EC did not change their API => unchanged for years
EC did not change anything if you are using the normal xml feed => unchanged for years
EC uses the same xml data to display all forecasts on their own pages => in the past and still today
EC has an extensive set of documentation
What you are implying: I scrape certain EC html pages to obtain data to display on my website
AND THEREFOR EC, the owner of the website is not allowed to make any changes to their website?
OR they should warn you, the scraper, that they are going to do that?
AND at the same time, you are so knowledgable that you know that those changes are
in this particular case it was totally unnecessary
If someone is scraping html pages to use on their template / website, it is thier own fault that the scripts are not working when the html changes. Especially in this EC case as all data is available, free of charge, documented and machine readable.
Sorry, but you can not really believe those remarks in your post here and on the WX forum.
Ken was making a joke about those changes happening when he is on holiday.
I hope you were joking also.
After the vacation, I’ll do a rewrite of the script to use the XML feeds from the EC which (as Wim notes) is MUCH more stable than the existing page-scraper.
