Title: Import Our Data From Wunderground?
Post by: nowait on December 24, 2012, 03:40:18 AM

After searching through the forums for a hour or so...

I'd like to be able to export my years of data that I have uploading to underground.com.  This would enable me to recover all the weather data that I have uploaded over since 2004 with VWS and LWC.  This would greatly enhance the historical data for my graphs and tables.

I see the latest version of weathercat will export to CSV format but I don't see a way to import a CSV back in.

I'm open to other solutions and ideas also.

Thanks!

There has been some discussion on this (can't find the thread now) - it is on the todo list - maybe version 1.2 will be able to import from CSV.

Using search didn't reveal much - any update to WU importing (http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs?d=data/history)? I'll go line by line if I have to, but don't really want to have to.

You can import into your database through phpmyadmin.  Export your database as csv and paste your updates in place then import it back to your database.

Very low interest in this I'm afraid, thus whilst it is on the feature request list, its priority isn't high.

If it were to be implemented, as it's pretty much a one shot job, I'd probably do it in something like Python wrapped in a an app as a standalone tool. It isn't that difficult, just read each line of the export and generate the line of data WeatherCat would want and append it to each monthly file, but as I said, the priority isn't there at the moment.
