Google weather data?

[qwertz]

Hi all,

I have a question to the automagic experts

Goal is to extract somehow the weather info provided by google.
It's the most accourate for my location and I want to use the data in a selfmade widget.
Extraction should run in background without opening an app or display a widget.

Is it possible somehow to get hands on that data with requests like intent, http or broadcast
via google app or via weather link (dynact://velour/weather/ProxyActivity)?

Any ideas or tipps would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I looked up if there was some kind of integration that may allow you to do this, and it seems not so long ago there was an available API to get Google Weather data. But it was just deprecated on Jan 31 of this year, and the documentation says that there's no provided alternative by Google (Link). The best you can do is to try looking for some other weather provider that you think it's the most accurate and provides some way to easily get data.

Thanks for stepping in. Of course I know of the deprecated api.
But I think there has to be a way to get hold of that data from google app.

Meanwhile I tried another approach like fetiching the data from the web with http-request or download url.
But I struggle to get the html/xml data from google.de or weather.com (datasource) correctly and nicely extracted/parsed...

Any other ideas/hints?

Here is my old flow which gets weather data from weather.com.
