Getting Started
Register your station

Register your weather station

Weather stations must first be registered on the WiHI platform. Registering a station is necessary for:

  1. Recording a station's metadata (location, manufacturer, model, etc)
  2. Obtaining a WiHi ID used to identify data contributions

Guide

Step 1: Sign up

Signing up is easy at WiHi: just log in at stations.wihi.cc (opens in a new tab), even for your first time. WiHi uses email-based authentication. We'll send you a magic link to log into the platform.

Step 2: Add a station

In the profiles (opens in a new tab) page, find the "Add a station" button and fill in the following information for your station:

{
	"name": "string",	// what you call your station, a nickname
	"manu_id": "string",	// (required) id uniquely identifying station within originating network (manufacturer, public station network, etc)
	"manufacturer": "string",
	"model": "string",
	"latitude": "float64",	// (required)
	"longitude": "float64",	// (required)
	"altitude": "float64",
	"network": "string" // if left blank, defaults to "individual". Private companies should set this to their company
}
