Looking For URL Schemes For WeatherCat and WeatherCatRCP Apps
DaveHawk:
Hi,
I have need for the URL schemes for the WeatherCat and WeatherCatRCP IOS apps. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
The Grand Poohbah:
Please explain what you mean by "URL scheme".
DaveHawk:
It is a way to call another app (residing on your device) from another app. For example, within the Indigo app you could call the Dark sky app with darksky://.

WeatherCat 3 has a Rich Client Protocol (RCP) to get information from WeatherCat. An RCP query is a URL such as http://localhost:49255/webtag/STAT$TEMPERATURE:CURRENT$. Replace "localhost" with the address of a local or remote machine running WeatherCat to get the requested data.
Try this: Enter http://www.trixology-eng.com:49255/webtag/STAT$TEMPERATURE:CURRENT$ into the address field of your favorite browser. You will receive a XML reply containing the current temperature from the Trixology test server. Appendix 7 in the WeatherCat 3 User Manual has detailed information about the RCP.
The XML reply to a RCP query is unique to WeatherCat and only "understood" by WeatherCatRCP. WeatherCatRCP uses RCP to make its queries, but does not reply to RCP queries like WeatherCat does.
There is a WeatherCat SDK is designed to allow third parties to develop application plug-ins for WeatherCat. See the WeatherCat 3 User Manual for more information about the SDK.
Meteotemplate has an API, but I am not familiar enough with it to know if it will help you.

If it's just pointing to a file on your drive (such as one created by WC), you might try "file:///completePathToFile" as in file:///Users/yourUserName/Documents/Sites/Home_Page.html. It probably depends on the app making the request. There is also AppleScript.
