2.1. About Meteorological XML Data Sources
Meteorological XML data sources (services) allow third-party applications to pass®The site requests an XML feed to access a subset of available data. Weather Channel Interactive Corporation (TWCi) provides this free data for development, and who want to apply weather data to a single application then hopefully can exchange links. This document describes how to use weather data and technically describes requesting and using this XML data.
Meteorological data include:
- Search for areas by city/state and zip code
- Data describes the necessary regional details (such as name and local time)
- Current weather conditions in the selected area (observation)
- Partial forecast for 4*12 hours in two days (currently, it seems that a 10-day forecast is provided)
To return, your application must:
- Display meteorological data for one area only within one time
- Support data request standards, usage rules, and update speed summary in Chapter 8 of this wizard
- Clearly decompose TWCi data from a single visible element data
- Make sure your weather data is from TWCi and contains a hyperlink to the home page as described in Chapter 9 of this wizard
- Provide a hyperlink to additional weather data
- Free to your terminal users
- Less than 25,000 traffic per month (active users)

2.3.1. Web Basic Applications
The HTML page of the web application is submitted to the web browser and must be directly linked to a weather XML data source obtained through the link. A web application needs to access the weather XML data source to obtain weather data and present the data to the user through an HTML page in Microsoft's IE browser or Firefox browser. For example, applications are written in languages such as JSP, PHP, ASP, or CGI.

For example, applications are written in languages such as JSP, PHP, ASP, or CGI.
2.3.2. Desktop Applications
The desktop application runs on the user's computer and presents weather data to the user's computer's window, such as an icon in the menu bar, or drags directly on the desktop. Desktop application comparisons can be run directly or automatically through an external browser, linking to the home page through a logo and opening a new browser window under the weather XML data source. For example, applications can be written in C++, Java, Visual Basic, Delphi, or Objective C, and can run on a network connection window, Macintosh, or Linux computer.

2.3.3. Other applications
If you have an application that does not belong to a web application or a desktop application, such as an application that cannot be directly linked to PDAs, mobile phones, radio stations, printing, fax, radio and television, or other platforms, or if your usage exceeds these services, you will need to determine other licensing options that may be suitable for you. Usually, if your site or program has 500,000 independent users within a month, or more than 100,000 independent users per month and he submits 25,000 requests per month, and you are interested in additional weather information, please use Emailbusdevmanager2@Contact our Business Development Department to discuss development details.
