[api.met.no] New version of Routeforecast

[api.met.no mailing list]

Dear API users,

just a short notice, probably only of interest to aviation users in Norway:

Due to changed requirements the horizontal maps on Routeforecast will be 
discontinued on Sept 1st. The only product still available after that date 
will be the vertical cross sections (vcross).

Since this is a breaking change and lots of stuff in the interface and 
documentation suddenly becoming redundant, we have decided to make a new 
version 2.0 with only the vcross images as can be found here:

https://api.met.no/weatherapi/routeforecast/2.0/documentation

Version 1.0 is now deprecated, and will be removed on 2022-09-01.

 From our logs there were hardly anyone using the horizontal maps, but users 
of the vcross images must now update their URLs to the new format:

https://api.met.no/weatherapi/routeforecast/2.0/?route=....

(Also note that the new version is stricter about identification than 
before, so if you haven't already set a User-Agent header with contact 
information this is a good time to do so.)

For those who made it this far, we wish you a pleasant summer (or winter, if 
you live in the southern hemisphere)...

Regards,

Geir Aalberg
